The Story
Jen Park and Alex Chen founded PGH Software Co. in 2010 with a straightforward belief: Pittsburgh needed a software development firm that could deliver enterprise-grade custom applications without requiring companies to outsource to the coasts. Today, PGH Software is one of Pittsburgh's most active development shops, building web applications, SaaS platforms, and enterprise solutions for clients across the region and beyond.
The company specializes in full-stack development using modern frameworks and cloud technologies. Their client base spans manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and non-profits—organizations that need software tailored to their specific workflows. PGH Software's approach emphasizes collaboration with clients throughout the development process, ensuring the final product meets real business needs. The firm has completed over 45 significant projects, ranging from patient management systems to supply chain optimization platforms.
Beyond project work, PGH Software maintains several SaaS products in the B2B space. The team has earned a reputation for solid engineering practices, timely delivery, and post-launch support that many clients say exceeds expectations.
What Makes It Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh's industrial legacy is built on problem-solving and engineering excellence. That DNA runs through PGH Software's work. The company hires locally, invests in ongoing education for its developers, and actively mentors younger engineers. Jen and Alex believe in building technology that strengthens Pittsburgh's economy, not replacing it or extracting from it.
The Lawrenceville office has become a gathering place for the local tech community, and PGH Software regularly participates in hackathons, meetups, and startup support initiatives.
