Different on purpose

Solutions without the consultant cosplay

Creativity

We chase real fixes — weird constraints welcome.

Sharp picks

Right stack for the job — not whatever’s trending on Twitter.

Fast loops

Ship useful slices early so you’re not waiting on a waterfall fantasy.

Backup vocals

We answer after launch — relationships beat transactions.

Founder mode

Adam Becker

I’m Adam — full-stack engineer based in Eugene, Oregon. I’ve spent decades turning messy business problems into software that teams actually want to use.

Tech Hop Studios exists because I like building with people who care about their craft — whether that’s coffee ops, climbing gyms, farms, or giant education platforms. If you need someone who can speak exec and still read the stack trace, we’ll get along.

// Not for hire: miracle timelines, “just replicate Netflix,” or politics dressed up as architecture reviews.

Timeline

History

A rotating sampler of where this studio’s sound came from — industries, scale, and lessons learned.

    Founded Tech Hop Studios

    Hung out the shingle as an LLC so clients get direct access to senior engineering — no bait-and-switch staffing model.

  • Aug 2022

    Operating at massive scale

    Led work in education tech focused on performance and uptime when traffic spikes hit hard.

  • Feb 2019

    Apps for coffee

    Directed development for drink production tooling used daily across thousands of locations — real-world reliability beats demo-day applause.

  • Sep 2015

    Started managing teams

    Shifted from solo contributor to leading engineers — learned delivery is as much psychology as syntax.

    Optimized an entire department

    Rebuilt processes and tooling to cut costly mistakes — saved serious money without layoffs.

  • Jan 2003

    First freelance client

    Started shipping web apps for paying customers — learned estimation the hard way (sorry, early clients).

  • Feb 1998

    First lines of JavaScript

    Fell into JS before it was cool — the obsession never really stopped.
