bycoders_

Bycoders_ is a Brazilian software house founded by Vanildo Prates, a software engineer with a postgraduate degree in Agile Project Management. The company operates with a startup mentality and maintains remote offices across Brazil, Portugal, and the USA. Bycoders_ builds custom technological solutions focused on digital transformation and user experience, positioning technology as a means to business outcomes rather than an end in itself. The founder's background spans system architecture, automation, and AI-based solutions with an emphasis on scalability and delivering measurable business value.

Services and capabilities

Bycoders_ offers six core service areas: Software development, Data, Team as a service, Digital Transformation, Support and Maintenance, and Design UI/UX. The company recently became an official Shopify partner, combining development expertise with the Shopify platform to build e-commerce experiences. They emphasize discovery processes and co-creation methodology to define user experience and design before building.

The company applies structured discovery work to understand client needs and define product direction. For example, in the GeoApis project, they ran a discovery process to develop a high-fidelity prototype before full platform development. Their approach integrates tools, methods, and people as core components of the digital transformation process.

Notable work

Bycoders_ has delivered several substantial projects across logistics, agriculture, and payments. For GeoApis, they developed a complete mobile and web platform over seven months using georeferencing technology to create a network connecting beekeepers and the agribusiness industry. The platform alerts beekeepers within a 6 km radius of pesticide use in crops and displays apiaries on an online map with producer and hive counts by municipality.

For EMBARCA.AI, a bus ticket purchasing platform, bycoders_ developed the entire system from scratch—API backend, mobile app, web app, and integrations with multiple road transport company systems—in four months from start to production deployment. The co-creation process included KPMG Brazil. Other named projects include work for Trata Institute (health services platform), Cielo (payment gateway integration), and innovation projects in road safety monitoring and advanced data analysis.
