Software
Bespoke software built in the right languages and technologies for each job — software that fits its purpose and stands the test of time.
Software Development and Consultancy
Helium22 develops software using a wide range of programming languages and technologies, choosing the right tools for each job rather than forcing every problem into the same mould. The result is software that fits its purpose and stands the test of time.
Every project begins with understanding. Before writing a line of code, we take time to learn what you are trying to achieve, who will use the system, and what success really looks like, so that the software we build solves the right problem.
Because we are comfortable across many languages and platforms, we can recommend and use whatever suits your needs best, whether that is a web application, a desktop tool, an integration, or something more specialised.
Good software is more than working code. We pay close attention to reliability, security, usability and maintainability, so that what we deliver is pleasant to use, safe to operate, and straightforward to evolve as your needs change.
We work in a collaborative, transparent way, keeping you informed and involved throughout. That means fewer surprises, better decisions along the way, and a final result that genuinely reflects your requirements.
Whether you need a brand-new system, an enhancement to an existing one, or expert help to get a stalled project moving, Helium22's software development expertise is here to deliver.
Languages, frameworks and platforms we develop with
Because the right tool depends on the job, we work fluently across a broad, enterprise-grade technology stack. On the language side we develop in Java EE and Java SE, C#.NET and C++.NET, JavaScript, and VBA — spanning everything from large server-side systems to browser front-ends and office automation. We are equally at home on Linux and Windows environments.
For hosting and deployment we build and run applications on the Apache Tomcat web server using standard WAR deployments, as well as Microsoft IIS. Our systems are typically exposed through RESTful web services and designed as microservices, giving you architectures that are modular, scalable and straightforward to maintain and extend.
On the Java side, we make extensive use of the Java Spring Framework — including Spring and Spring Boot — together with a wide range of established Java libraries, to deliver robust, production-ready services quickly. Where cloud scale and resilience are required, we deploy microservices on Microsoft Azure, taking advantage of enterprise-grade hosting, security and elasticity.
Quality and reliability are built into how we deliver. We run automated CI/CD pipelines on Linux using Jenkins and Docker, integrated with GitHub for source control, Maven for build and dependency management, and JUnit for automated testing — so code is continuously tested, built and deployed with confidence and consistency.
Whatever combination of languages, frameworks and platforms your project calls for, Helium22 has the breadth of experience to choose well and build it properly.
