A few weeks in we decided to put the platform on hold and to use our joined talents to start a business July of 2018.

There is such a large pool of talent in our community and an ever abundance of ways in which that technical solutions can benefit local business.
Since Miami Dev Shop is a software developing company, what is the company’s specialize mostly in? Is it more of general software developing, desktop apps, or mobile app developing?
We currently do not have a niche, per say, in that we generally can build most things that a prospect would require.
Now I wanted to shift and talk to you specifically about UX/UI and mobile app development because it is a fast-growing industry. So how do both you and your company view the industry of UX/UI and mobile apps?
An application can be resiliently designed with the best software architects, and cloud engineers, and can fail if the end user does not want to use it. UX/UI design is crucial to delivering. Certain design considerations include where the end user when he is consuming the product. If he is on the move he needs a mobile view.
Does Miami Dev Shop view mobile apps as the future for a lot of different things? If so in what way?

With current day javascript frameworks, building mobile applications is almost exactly the same as building any other solution.

Generally speaking, we are a conservatively oriented company. We want to build quality customer services, make lasting relationships, and offer a fleet of pass products for many industries.
And finally, Ricardo, does your company vision the future of mobile apps?
We have a hunch that augmented reality devices, are the next mobile compute platform. Being able to simultaneously interact with the real world and the digital would be revolutionary, but it is difficult to gage how people would react to that mix.
