QServices is a remote-first .NET development company serving Austin clients across tech, healthcare, and real estate. We are not headquartered in Austin, but we work with Texas businesses on remote engagements with four to five hours of daily CT morning overlap.
Austin's three dominant industries each shape .NET projects in specific ways:
Texas buyers operate under two regulatory frameworks that directly affect software architecture. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) governs insurance-adjacent software. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPA) imposes consumer data rights obligations on many platforms. Both shape schema design, logging strategy, and the encryption decisions made in week one of a project, not as compliance retrofits added before launch.
Austin is Central Time. In winter, that is ten and a half hours behind IST; in summer, eleven and a half hours behind. An Austin workday starting at 8 AM CT is 6:30 PM IST. We schedule daily standups at 9 AM or 10 AM CT, putting them at 8:30 or 9:30 PM IST. That gives four to five hours of live overlap inside Austin's morning before afternoon meetings take over.
Between standups, we use async video for code reviews and demo walkthroughs, a recorded Teams or Loom clip is easier to review than a hastily scheduled call. Milestone sign-offs happen in a live session, not a slide deck. We ship a written scoping document before any code is written, and we keep a running Architecture Decision Record (ADR) log so your Austin team can follow technical decisions without joining every engineering call. On-site visits are available for critical milestone reviews on request.
Neither of our published .NET case studies is from Austin, and we will not pretend otherwise. Our closest work is in financial services and payments, two domains that share architectural demands with Austin's healthcare and SaaS sectors.
Islamic bank, Somalia
100K+ downloads with 4.8-star rating on launch
First digital payment platform in a predominantly cash-based economy, enabling P2P transfers, merchant QR payments, and international remittances
For SomBank, an Islamic bank in Somalia, we built a mobile payment platform on React Native and .NET with Azure Service Bus, Azure B2C identity, and an Ocelot API Gateway handling P2P transfers, merchant QR payments, and international remittances. The platform reached 100,000+ downloads with a 4.8-star rating at launch, the first digital payment system in a predominantly cash-based economy.
International payments and remittance business, Jamaica
Reduced transaction fees by approximately 30 percent through optimized gateway routing
Cut settlement times from 3-5 days to under 24 hours with a unified reconciliation engine and audit trail
For Varipay (CoolPay), a cross-border payments business in Jamaica, we built a microservices gateway aggregator routing transactions across Stripe, PayPal, Wise, and regional gateways. Transaction fees dropped roughly 30% and settlement times fell from three to five days to under 24 hours. The .NET patterns in both projects (API-first design, documented contracts, Azure-native deployment) are the same ones we apply to Austin SaaS and healthcare builds. The regulated-data discipline those projects required translates directly to TDPA and TDI compliance work.
We price in USD. Austin clients pay the same rates as any other market, no US premium, no remote discount. Our engineers run $35/hour for standard .NET work and $65/hour for senior architects on Azure-heavy or regulated-data projects.
Add 15–25% for HIPAA or TDPA regulatory scope. Each non-trivial integration (EHR, MLS feed, payment gateway) adds $3,000–$12,000. Third-party compliance review adds $5,000–$20,000. See the full .NET development pricing breakdown.
Three steps from first call to project start:
Yes. We have no Austin office and are fully remote. Our team operates from India on IST. Austin (CT) and IST share four to five hours of working-hours overlap each Austin morning, which is enough for a daily standup, an async code review cycle, and same-day responses on blockers. We use Microsoft Teams or Slack depending on your preference.
For data residency under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Azure's South Central US region in San Antonio keeps data within Texas at rest. We configure this at the infrastructure design stage, not as a retrofit. For insurance-adjacent software, TDI requirements go into the compliance scoping session before sprint one.
