A software studio with family roots, in Lanzarote.

CanaryCoders was founded by a family of developers who moved from Belgium in 2017. Today the team is bigger than the family, and it builds software for the islands it lives on.

Our story

In 2017 our family loaded a car and a trailer in Belgium and made the trip to the Canary Islands. We had fallen for Lanzarote, so we brought our young children and made it home.

Dad was already a software engineer and a founder. He thought coding could be a family thing, so the kids learned early, as a way of building things together.

Those kids grew up here and are as good as Canarian now. They're developers in the studio today, and a good share of what we ship starts with one of their ideas.

Our slogan, "Technology forged in volcanic land", is the story as it happened. Before the move we ran KangaCoders in Belgium, and we still work closely with it. That's where our experience with large projects comes from: public bodies, market research firms, museums, festival apps and IoT.

The studio is no longer only the family. We've hired from outside it over the years, and today the team is made up of the studio's own employees, family or not.

How we work

  • Big-project habits

    What we learned on European projects with KangaCoders, applied at the size of a Canarian business.

  • One team, one table

    We're a small team and decisions get made quickly. You talk to whoever writes the code.

  • People on the islands

    An office in Arrecife, representatives in Gran Canaria and a team of our own employees.
