History

Based out of Northeast Ohio, Byte Shredders was formed in 2012 by two developers passionate about providing solutions through software. To the Byte Shredders team, the job feels more like a hobby than work. We are always eager to learn new methods to keep up with current technologies and standards.

We are not just software developers, we are craftsmen. Well written and designed software is one of the core values that Byte Shredders is founded on, and we use Agile methods to help ensure we can bring your project to market quickly!

Byte Shredders - The Name

Our unique name often causes people to ask, "Why are you called Byte Shredders?" When we chose our name, we drew a bit of inspiration not only from Computer Science, but also from the world of music. A 'byte' is a well known computer related term used to measure data (megabyte, kilobyte, etc.). The second part of our name is borrowed from a style of playing guitar. Steve Vai, master guitarist, defined shredding as "The terminology used for someone who can play an instrument and has such a tremendous amount of technique that what they do just seems completely effortless and absurd." ^{(Source: 'Not Dead Yet' Interview)} After we put the two together, we knew we had the perfect name.
