About Synapse Studios
20+ years of software engineering excellence, now focused on making AI accessible and practical for businesses of all sizes.
From Web Development to AI Enablement
Synapse Studios was founded in 2003 by Chris Cardinal and Bob Eagan in Tempe, Arizona. What started as a web development partnership has evolved into a full-service software development firm with deep expertise in custom applications, enterprise systems, and now, AI enablement.
For over two decades, we've built software for startups, mid-market companies, and enterprise clients across industries like healthcare, finance, education, and retail. We've seen technology trends come and go, but our focus has remained constant: build software that solves real problems for real people.
Today, we're applying that same practical mindset to AI. We believe AI's value isn't in the hype—it's in helping teams work smarter, faster, and more effectively. That's why we've developed a human-led approach to AI enablement that gets your team using AI tools in weeks, not months.
Our Approach
We're not consultants who parachute in with a slide deck and disappear. We're builders. Engineers. Problem solvers. We work alongside your team to understand your workflows, identify opportunities for AI, and build custom solutions that actually get used.
Our full-stack development capabilities mean we can handle everything in-house—from strategy and planning to design, development, testing, and deployment. No outsourcing, no hand-offs, no miscommunication.
We keep things simple: transparent pricing, clear communication, and a focus on delivering value. If something's not working, we tell you. If there's a better way, we'll recommend it. We're here to make you successful, not to sell you services you don't need.
