About Redsky

RedSky Engineering started in 2016 when our founders built a VR arcade powered by their own cloud-based tracking software. When it closed in 2020, the software side of the business took over. Since then, we’ve stayed intentionally small and senior, shipping software for companies like Mixhers, Route, Troomi, and Green Compass.

How it Started

Back in 2016, Josh was working at an engineering firm when he got his hands on VR headsets. He were so fascinated by the technology that he worked together with his business partners to open a VR arcade where others could have the experience. They put their development skills to use and created a cloud-based tracking software for the booths. When COVID-19 hit and put VR on hold, they quickly adapted and took on more software development contracts. They realized that passion for problem-solving, whether it involved hardware, software, or other tech, would ensure their success.

That's how RedSky Engineering came to be a dynamic software development company experienced in solving complex technological challenges.

How it’s Going

RedSky Engineering has come a long way since its pivot to software development. With a dedicated team of over 15 professionals specializing in design, development, project management, and administration, RedSky has successfully collaborated with notable clients such as Mixhers, Route, Troomi, and Green Compass. Continually seeking new challenges and growth opportunities, RedSky is poised to forge strong relationships with businesses.

RedSky Engineering excels not only in creating software from scratch, but also in salvaging half-baked projects abandoned by offshore dev shops or others who struggled to execute.
