Alan and Carlos are brothers, seven years apart, and shared the same obsession: computing. They spent hours programming, looking for solutions and proposing ideas, until the point came when they started building software for other people and companies.
Carvear and Bortic
Carlos founded Carvear, focused on web development, which was booming at the time. The company overcame the challenges it faced and established itself in that field.
Alan took the parallel road with Bortic, focused on mobile development, when phones were becoming where people spent their day.
The merger
Over time it became clear that the projects coming in were no longer "a site" or "an app", but both working together. The two companies merged and Brithers was born, with more than twenty years of combined experience.
That is where the name comes from: brothers, with the twist that turned it into a brand.
Why it still matters
That story explains something concrete about how we work: web and mobile were never separate departments handing the project to each other. They come from the same place and are thought through together from the first meeting.
