    Omnicypher is the realization of a dream between my partner and I. For years, off and on, we would discuss what it would be like to own and manage our own company. Well, late last year we made it a reality.

    Our theme/vision/motto is "Quality is our Code." To clients, peers, partners, and customers, this means that quality permeates everything that we do; our work, code, qa, design/architecture style, contracts, deliverables, and most importantly relationships. We understand how to measure and value quality; that, I feel, will make us successful.
