About Us
We are Planet Argon: Helping companies with existing Ruby on Rails web applications make them better and more maintainable.
A dedication to our clients and culture has helped Planet Argon grow from humble beginnings in a Portland apartment to client relationships with some of the biggest names in tech, education, health, and beyond. We believe our values should guide our partnerships, which has allowed us to build long-lasting relationships where we function as a trusted extension of the team.
If you’re seeking an invested technical partner to set your ambitious ideas in motion and help scale your business to new heights, you're in the right place. You can trust us to make it happen.
From a one-man shop in a Portland apartment in 2002 to the agency it is today, here is our story.
Each year, we reflect on the previous 365 days of growth and change.
