About Imaginary Cloud

Imaginary Cloud is a software development and product design company founded in May 2010 by Tiago Franco, a former senior developer and project manager on projects for CERN, the European Space Agency and the UK Ministry of Defence. With offices in London, Lisbon and Coimbra and a team of about 100, it offers digital strategy and scoping sessions, UX/UI design, AI-first custom web and mobile engineering, applied AI and machine learning, cloud-native platform engineering and nearshore engineering teams, and reports 300+ products delivered across Europe, the United States and the Middle East. Case studies include a reproduction process system for Nordic IT provider Advania's new Service Centre, a dashboard refactor that cut AppTweak's loading time by 80%, and a searchable economy database interface for the EU agency Eurofound.
