AI-native delivery, by a team that stays.
One accountable team that knows your codebase, builds with agentic AI, and stays for years. We bring legacy PHP, Laravel, and WordPress current, with no big-bang rewrite and no downtime. Founder-led SaaS and e-commerce, since 2011.
Why founders keep us
Legacy PHP, Laravel, and WordPress brought current. No big-bang rewrite, no downtime, no risk to your data. We change what slows you down and leave what works alone.
We build with agentic AI as the primary method, so a lean senior team ships what used to take a much larger one. Faster, at lower cost, with a human accountable for every decision.
A stable team, led by our CTO, that learns your codebase and stays. We take a small number of long-term clients at a time, and they keep us for a decade. You get ownership, not rotation.

Verified Upwork reviews
Ankush is the best developer I've had the pleasure of working with. He spent additional time with us to solve complex problems using extremely innovative solutions. I highly recommend booking Ankush and the Behind Methods team for any development work.
I've been using Upwork since the Odesk times. Ankush is the BEST programmer and person that I've come to know in over 25 years in IT. He just gets the work done.
It was a great pleasure working with Ankush. He delivered the project in a timely manner with the highest quality of work. Besides world-class development skills, he has great work ethics and dedication. I highly recommend him.

How we work
We run the real product, audit the legacy codebase, and document what must not break. Nothing moves until we understand what your business actually depends on.
Agentic AI accelerates the refactor. A senior owner reviews and is accountable for every change. No database change without a migration plan, no surprise to your existing data.
Incremental, reversible releases, then a long-term retainer so the same team keeps owning stability. You get a partner who already knows the system, not a handoff.
