Blues Brackets

Blues Brackets is a Polish software house based in Kraków with offices in Wrocław and Warszawa. Founded by Tomasz Szewczyk (CEO) and Michał Prządо (COO), the company builds end-to-end solutions across embedded systems, process automation, and full-stack applications. They work in small teams using Agile methodology, with a stated philosophy that their best work comes from cross-disciplinary collaboration where everyone understands the entire process.

Services and capabilities

Blues Brackets operates across three main domains. In embedded development, they handle wireless connectivity (Bluetooth LE, WiFi, Cellular, ZigBee), transform Arduino prototypes into production systems, and bring Agile practices like Clean Code and CI/CD to embedded projects. They've worked with Zephyr RTOS and Bluetooth Auracast for audio applications.

For process automation, they build secure, client-owned systems that eliminate licensing costs. Their solutions include encrypted communication, Big Data analytics for statistics and machine learning, and cloud-based remote access from any browser without VPN. They've helped tour operators manage logistics and handle sensitive data protection.

In agile software development, they work with React, Next.js, Node.js, Java, and Spring. They conduct system audits to identify and eliminate technical debt, collaborate with UX/UI designers to create intuitive interfaces, and use open-source solutions to reduce costs. They also offer consulting on technology selection, hardware decisions, and IT team building.

Notable work

Blues Brackets completed a Bluetooth Audio device for Audinor, a hearing aid technology company, targeting classroom communication and education access for hard of hearing children. The solution uses BLE Audio transmission for wireless connectivity.

For Mr. Shuttle, a tour operator, they built a transport management application handling airport transfers, intercity routes, and day trips. They also developed Just, a mobile expense-sharing app for Android and iOS with a smart algorithm for fair cost distribution.

How they work

Their engagement process spans seven stages: preliminary consultation to assess fit and budget, needs assessment with a formal offer, establishing cooperation with iterative cycles, design and mockups with early validation, verification and automated testing, implementation with working versions at each iteration, and post-launch client care with ongoing support based on user feedback. They work iteratively in Agile cycles, allowing flexible project management and regular feedback loops. Pricing models aren't detailed in the source, though they mention both fixed-price and time-and-materials options exist.
