At DaCodes, our journey began in 2014, sparked by the innovative spirit of three engineering students โ€“ Carlos Vela, Jorge Campos, and Mauricio Moreno โ€“ who started crafting mobile apps as graduation projects. This passion quickly evolved, and responding to growing demand, DaCodes was formalized in 2015 as a dedicated custom mobile app development company in southeast Mexico. We pride ourselves on being pioneers, becoming the first to offer specialized UI/UX design for mobile applications in our region, meeting an unmet need and introducing world-class design expertise to local businesses.

We are committed to building digital experiences that shape industries and empower people, aiming to make exceptional software the standard by seamlessly integrating strategy, design, and technology in every solution we deliver.

Our culture is built on four foundational principles: Make exceptional work, because we believe the best work is done collaboratively where individual expertise is embraced and fostered. We see every challenge as an opportunity to transcend and discover untapped potential. We dare to be bold, bringing passion and resilience to create long-lasting solutions. And finally, we strive to give more than is expected, acting as dedicated owners who say what we mean and always do the right thing. This ethos has fueled our growth from a local team to a global force of over 220 'DaCoders' across seven countries in Latin America, serving startups and enterprise customers in the US.
