Rooted in Helena. Built for now.
Four short chapters on who you are actually hiring: a fifth-generation Helena family, a name pulled out of the river, and one senior engineer who treats your project like a claim with his name on it.
Five generations of gold.
Helena started as a last-chance gold camp in 1864, and my family has been working this valley for five generations since: placer pans in the creeks, shifts underground, kids raised on what the ground gave back. When I say SunRiver is a Helena company, I mean the roots go down a hundred-some years.
Why “SunRiver.”
Gold settles where the river slows, and you find it when the sun hits the water right. That picture named the company and picked the colors you are looking at: the green of the river, the gold of the strike. Finding the valuable thing in all the gravel is the actual job, in mining and in software.
What we do all day.
Cloud and platform work on AWS, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Microsoft 365. Accessibility and security audits against WCAG and Section 508. Apps and websites people actually enjoy using, databases that tell the truth, and practical AI where it earns its keep. Mostly for small businesses, schools, nonprofits, and public agencies that deserve senior work at a sane price.
Mining rules, kept.
Assay before you dig: every project starts with a written scope and one fixed number. Keep your word underground: the senior engineer who quotes the work is the one who does it. Leave the claim better than you found it: you end up with documentation, training, and every account in your own name. And the tariff is honest, a fraction of what the big logos charge.
Gold settles where the river slows. So does good work.
Chapter five is your project.
Tell us the goal and a fifth-generation Helena engineer will scope it personally.
