Meet the Team

A Product Team Built for Long-Term Software

Lightning Kite is a custom software development company in Logan, Utah. Since 2006, we have helped startups, established businesses, and large organizations turn complex ideas into reliable mobile apps, web applications, backend systems, and connected-device products.

We are known for transparent collaboration, senior engineering judgment, and practical architecture that survives real-world use. Our team has delivered more than 115 mobile projects and 204 web projects across 31 programming languages, including work for organizations such as McDonald's, Blizzard, PetSmart, Merck, Blackstone Products, and the State of New York.

We also build the tools behind our work. Our open-source Kotlin Multiplatform frameworks, KiteUI and Lightning Server, help teams share code across mobile, web, and backend systems without giving up native-quality experiences.

Lightning Kite by the Numbers

Founded in 2006

Nearly two decades of custom software delivery, maintenance, and modernization for businesses that need their systems to keep working after launch.

115+ Mobile Projects

Native-feeling iOS and Android apps, Kotlin Multiplatform products, IoT companion apps, and field tools built for real users.

204+ Web Projects

Customer portals, dashboards, business automation, e-commerce systems, APIs, and SEO-ready web applications that connect teams and data.

What Makes Our Team Different?

We Tell You What Is Practical

Good software starts with honest scope. We help clients decide what to build first, what to postpone, and when an off-the-shelf tool, prototype, or custom build makes the most sense. That same clarity carries through design, development, launch, and long-term support.

We Build Across the Whole Product

A modern product rarely stops at one app. We connect mobile interfaces, web dashboards, backend services, integrations, realtime data, and deployment infrastructure so the full system works together. Our service pages explain the specialties behind that work.

We Stay Close to the Work

Our clients work directly with the people building their software. Meet the team below, review our case studies, and see how we approach projects before you ever enter an agreement.
