Fully Canadian
Canadian-based professionals lead and build the product. No unseen offshore handoff and no junior-only delivery model.
About RSC
Calgary roots. Canadian delivery. Senior accountability.
Razor Sharp Consulting is a selective custom software studio serving founders and established businesses across North America.
Part of Calgary’s momentum
A growing ecosystem for ambitious technology.
Calgary Economic Development reports more than 1,300 core technology companies in the city. RSC adds practical, senior-led product engineering to that community through modern software, applied AI, automation, and AWS systems.
The goal is not novelty for its own sake. It is useful technology with experienced control, clear tradeoffs, and sensible economics.

Experienced people stay close to the decisions.
Founded by Mike Cottingham, RSC brings together experienced Canadian developers around the real shape of each project.
The team has delivered work across telecommunications, healthcare, oil and gas, mining, safety, finance, and startups, without shipping delivery offshore.
