The Pipeline

We build our own products and work with clients. AI handles the complexity so we can ship simple things that work.

Early Release

Rails AI

rails-ai.dev

A development toolkit with specialized AI agents for Rails. It covers architecture, backend services, frontend UI, testing, debugging, and security. Think of it as having expert guidance for every part of your Rails app.

Early Release

The Feedback Agent

thefeedbackagent.com

Give honest feedback anonymously. The AI cleans up your message for clarity while keeping your voice intact. It helps people grow with feedback that's actually constructive.

Agent Skills

opencode & claude skills

Skills that teach AI coding agents how to do specific things well. TDD workflows, code review patterns, debugging strategies. We're building these for OpenCode and Claude Code, and we'll open source them.

How We Partner With You

Whether you need a technical advisor, expert guidance, or complete product development, we tailor our partnership to fit your goals.

Product Development

End-to-end product building from concept to launch. We handle architecture, development, deployment, and scaling.

Technical Advisor

Strategic technical leadership for startups and growing companies. Seasoned veteran with 20+ years of experience without the full-time cost.

Team Leadership

Build and mentor high-performing engineering teams. We establish best practices, processes, and culture.

Technical Consulting

Architecture reviews, performance optimization, and AI integration strategies for existing systems.

AI Agents & Integration

AI agents that act autonomously under human guidance. They handle workflows, make decisions, and connect to your tools via MCP. All major models and open-source options supported.

Multi-Agent Systems

Humans orchestrate teams of AI agents that work together. Research agents, code reviewers, QA testers. They communicate, delegate tasks, and solve problems as a group. A human is always making the calls.

How We Work

AI absorbs complexity, humans stay in control. Your product stays simple. AI agents are just part of our toolchain now. Shape Up keeps us focused.

Discovery & Strategy

We figure out what you actually need. Not what sounds good in a pitch. AI agents help us research and check feasibility fast. We come out with a plan that's simple and clear.

Agent-Driven Prototyping

We spin up AI agents for different jobs. Architect, frontend, backend, testing. They prototype fast, we iterate, and you get something real in days. Simple beats clever every time.

Agentic Development

Humans stay in the loop directing AI agents through focused Shape Up cycles. Agents handle the boilerplate and grunt work. We ship real features every cycle without the bloat.

AI-Powered QA

Testing agents run continuously. AI code review catches problems early. We keep the codebase lean and the product stable as we build.

Operate & Evolve

We stick around. AI agents watch production and flag issues. We scale what needs scaling and keep everything else lean.

About Zerobearing

25 years of shipping software. We're builders first, consultants second.

I'm Dave Bradford. I've been building Rails applications since 2006. I've been a hands-on developer, lead engineer, VP of Engineering, and Sr. Principal Architect. I've worked with startups and established companies across healthcare, e-commerce, SaaS, and data platforms.

Zerobearing is my operating company. Today it's an AI-first Rails development studio. I build my own products (Rails AI, The Feedback Agent) and consult on AI integration for Rails teams. I use AI agents to handle complexity so your product stays simple. Humans stay in the loop, always.
