# About <span className="text-rdr-gold">Us</span>

We are a team of expert software developers, trusted by SMEs and national organisations including the NHS.

We employ some of the best and the brightest, who really understand the technology rather than just relying on AI and shortcuts. We have a deep understanding of every line of code we write, why it is there and how it fits into the wider system.

Depth of understanding matters because by prioritising good engineering, based on careful specification from the outset the solutions we deliver are so much more reliable. We stand by this to such an extent that we don't charge for bug fixes or technical support.

If something does not function as expected it is down to us to put that right. As for support if something is so difficult to use that it needs support, then that needs to be put right.

This is what we believe and it's what we deliver.

Our technical manager joined as an intern, graduated from UEA with first class honours in Computing Sciences and finished top among his peers. He sets high standards for his team and insists on best practice, not shortcuts. He mentors developers so quality is top priority.

Our team take real pride in creating reliable systems that businesses and organisations rely on.

All projects we undertake are guided by a set of core technical values:

1. **Requirements**
First and foremost, we ensure we are building exactly what is needed. Clear, well-defined requirements underpin every successful system.
2. **Reliability**
Your system should form the backbone of your organisation. We prioritise stability and resilience so it consistently supports your operations.
3. **Performance**
Systems should optimise workflows, not hinder them. We design with efficiency in mind to ensure fast, responsive user experiences.
4. **Scalability**
As your business grows, your system should grow with it. We ensure all our solutions are designed to scale smoothly over time without degradation.
5. **Maintainability**
Systems must be easy to manage, update and extend. We prioritise clean, well-structured implementations to support you long term.

Here are the thoughts from the people who develop the systems.

**Paul** - Director "I am a director of RD Research (Relational Database Research). My background was in data systems and software engineering but these days I am client facing . I am proud to represent such a talented team."

**Max** - Technical Manager "Everyone on this team has had to pass a rigorous code test and practical exam lasting three hours just to get to interview. If you would like to try if for yourself drop me a line.

I am mindful that we don’t charge for bug fixes. If it goes wrong then its on us.

Our standards are very high, as is the quality of our work. In addition to writing code I am responsible for the technical roadmap we follow and ensuring standards are maintained."

**Tom** - Developer "We all take genuine pride in what we do. We write our systems to be efficient and to scale.”

**Dean** - Developer “I have always been one to take care about the code I write. I think first and code later”

**Jason** - Junior Developer "I started at RD Research as a Junior Developer and am fortunate to work for a company that invests in people and encourages continuous learning. The approach to development is significantly different from what I was used to and the results speak for themselves."

**Gina** - "Office manager and accounts. "Having been with the company for a number of years I’ve seen just how much hard work, care and commitment people bring every day. Running the accounts team and office I’m proud to be part of a company that genuinely values its people and what they do."

<div className="space-y-px">

All the photographs on this site are of real people, our team and some of our clients. None are AI generated. Our code is written by expert developers so that it can be maintained properly and reliably.

AI can be a useful tool and it does have good use cases.

<br />

Here is a good example.

<br />

NHS - We are currently waiting to start a project for the NHS RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital.
Doctors currently spend hours manually analysing complex and detailed bone scans. AI can greatly speed up the processing of these scans. It can do in minutes what it currently takes a consultant many hours to achieve.
Speeding up analysis of DEXA bone scans will significantly reduce waiting lists and free up doctors to care for new NHS patients.
