The Brain Murmurs team is a collective of computer industry veterans with a combined experience of over 70 years in disciplines as diverse as rocket science (really!), Operating System development, distributed programming, enterprise architecture, 3D graphics, video games, search engine technology, electronic commerce, global logistics, and warehouse management.

Today, Brain Murmurs’ focus is on working with Ruby on Rails for server development and with Apple’s Mac and iPhone platforms for desktop and mobile applications.

So began Black Pixel, Brain Murmurs’ Mac and iPhone product division dedicated to beautifully designed, wonderfully executed software. When you contract with Brain Murmurs for iPhone development, you’re contracting with this very team.
