About Codex Central

Codex Central is a subscription-based software development service (SDaaS) founded and led by Roberto Silva, a Senior Fullstack Engineer and Solutions Architect with over 15 years of experience. Unlike traditional agencies, every project is handled directly by the founder with a select team of senior developers. They offer three subscription tiers (Starter, Growth, and Apex) providing 40 to 160 hours of development per month, covering web applications, cross-platform mobile apps, AI integrations, and software performance optimization. Their async-first workflow uses a proprietary StackBoard platform for request management, and clients retain full code ownership. The model is designed for startups validating MVPs, SaaS companies scaling their products, and established businesses needing on-demand senior development capacity without the overhead of full-time hires.
