About Anvil
Engineers who’ve shipped and operated real systems.
We’re a small team of senior engineers who dissect business problems and build the software that solves them, then host and run it. Our name rides on whether it actually works in your business.
Why “Anvil”
An anvil is strength and staying power, the tool everything else is shaped on. That’s the promise: software engineered to last, that you run your business on for years, not a demo that breaks the first time production gets real. Strategy, design and engineering come from one team, with no handoff between “the consultant” and “the coder.”
What we value
Service
Your outcome is the job, not shipping a spec.
Integrity
We’ll tell you when not to build.
Transparency
You talk to the engineers and own the code.
Hard work
We fix the launch overnight when it matters.
By the numbers
The team
Zachary
CEO & Founder
Zachary spent 12 years in the railroad industry, starting by cleaning toilets and working his way up to project management, before founding Anvil. He is driven by building tools people rely on, and by helping everyone he crosses paths with. Off the clock: golf and video games.
PB
COO & Founder
One of Anvil’s co-founders and COO. When he is not working on strategy with a client or running the business side, PB is outside: growing plants, hunting the mountains for gems, fly fishing, and hanging with his animals.
Dave
CTO & Founder
A software engineering graduate from ÉTS, Dave leads Anvil’s architecture and engineering quality across the stack, with a focus on making complex systems simpler for the developers who build on them.
Vince
Software Engineer
You will find Vince at a cafe with his split ergo keyboard, fixing bugs from the terminal (vim, btw). Off the keyboard he is on wheels: the skatepark, a downhill mountain bike, or a scenic ride on his DR650.
Thomas
Software Engineer
The newest engineer on the Anvil team. Full bio coming soon.
