About BAAM Devs

A studio of two, on purpose.

BAAM is Bri Achtman and Andrew McPherran. When you work with BAAM Devs, you work directly with the people designing and building your project.

Bri & Andrew
Our story

Two halves of one studio.

BAAM Devs grew out of a simple idea: the best products happen when strategy, design, and engineering work together from day one. We've worked side by side long enough that collaboration feels less like a process and more like a conversation.

Product & Design

Bri

Bri makes sure we're solving the right problem before we write a single line of code.

Before founding BAAM Devs, she worked as a Product Manager at Microsoft, partnering with engineers, designers, researchers, and customers to bring complex software products to market.

Today, she leads product strategy, research, user experience, and design, helping turn ideas into websites and software people actually use.

Engineering & Architecture

Andrew

Andrew builds the software underneath: reliable, fast, and made to last well past launch day.

Before founding BAAM Devs, he worked as a Software Engineer at Smartsheet, building large-scale software used by thousands of customers and helping teams modernize infrastructure, automate deployments, and scale reliably.

Today, he leads engineering, architecture, and infrastructure, building websites and software that are fast, maintainable, and built to last.

Malibu is BAAM Devs's first non-human hire. She handles team morale, visitor relations, office security, and quality assurance for all snacks entering the office. While her qualifications are questionable, her enthusiasm is unmatched.
