Engineering rigor
We test, measure and document everything. Reliability is part of the design from the start.
About us
Engineers who speak
both volts and bytes.
We started FreshCode because too many products failed in the gap between the hardware team and the software team. So we built one team that does both.
Our story
One electrical engineer. One software engineer. One company.
FreshCode was founded by Justin Kokt, an electrical engineer, and Curtis Pienaar, a software engineer, on a simple idea: hardware and software should be designed together, not handed between separate teams.
Justin leads the circuits, PCBs and automation. Curtis leads the firmware, cloud platforms and apps. Because both sides of the product are planned together from day one, clients get one partner who owns the whole system, from the first schematic to production deployment.
What drives us
Our values
Radical clarity
We communicate plainly and report progress openly, so you hear about risks early.
Ownership
We treat your product as our own and stay with it after launch.
Always fresh
We keep up with new tools and techniques, and we only use what's proven to work.
Leadership
The people behind the work
FreshCode is owned and run by its two co-founders, who are involved in every project we take on.
