Software engineering for public-sector programs.

Company overview

Founded in 2005 in Chico, California, SiteHatchery delivers custom business applications, integrations, and data systems for public agencies, healthcare, nonprofits, and commercial clients. Our principals bring more than 50 years of combined senior engineering experience, including two decades building enterprise financial software used by public-sector organizations and more than a decade engineering high-volume commerce systems.

We are intentionally senior and lean: the engineers who scope your work are the engineers who deliver it, which means lower overhead, faster ramp-up, and direct accountability.

Core competencies

• Legacy application modernization: phased migration from COBOL, C++, and PHP to C#/.NET while systems remain in production
• Systems integration: REST API design, third-party and enterprise integrations, scheduled data feeds, ETL, and SSIS data conversions
• Program and funding management systems: fund tracking, invoicing, schedules and milestones, document management, and board-ready reporting for public agencies
• Data platforms and reporting: high-frequency data ingestion, validation, alerting, archives, and reporting tools
• Enterprise application development: C#, .NET, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and React
• AI-enabled workflows: LLM-assisted document analysis with human review and audit-friendly processing
• Technical program support: requirements analysis, Agile/Scrum delivery, testing and UAT coordination, and production support

Past performance

Company projects

• Transportation program and funding management platform: used by regional and local transportation agencies to manage funding programs, contractor and State/Federal-aid invoicing, phase schedules and milestones, project mapping, document libraries, and board and commission reporting, with role-based and public access
• Homeless outreach and case management (funded by a city police department): client intake interviews, check-ins, encampment location tracking, shelter eligibility status, and interaction records
• County data application: scheduled data feeds, timezone normalization, reporting tools, and external REST endpoints (Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, React)
• Water data reporting platform: ingests readings every five minutes from 85 sites with 10+ years of history, with validation, alerts, archives, and reporting. Ongoing support.
• Healthcare AI initiative: tools integrated with Epic that analyze discharge summaries to suggest billing codes for coder review
• Build-versus-buy advisory: requirements and feasibility analysis for statewide professional associations, recommending lower-cost subscription software where it was the better fit

Key personnel experience

• Public-sector financial ERP (SunGard Public Sector / Superion, now CentralSquare): design, development, and development leadership of enterprise financial software for public-sector and nonprofit organizations, including customer-specific interfaces and SSIS data conversions
• High-volume multi-brand commerce (national retailer): distributed services for payments, inventory, fulfillment, and reporting across platforms serving 200+ retail locations, plus incremental legacy platform modernization

Differentiators

• Public-sector domain knowledge from 20+ years building government financial systems
• Senior-led delivery: the principals who scope the work stay accountable for it through production
• Legacy fluency: we can read COBOL and C++ as well as write modern C#
• Long-term production ownership, with systems we built still supported years later
• Candid build-versus-buy guidance that protects agency budgets
