Steve Canfield
Steve is the one in the code. He has designed and shipped four products end-to-end. Two are his own, live and taking orders: Song Cage, a songwriting app across web, iOS, Android, and DAWs, and The Curious Thing, AI-personalized photo puzzles for kids. Two were client builds as a fractional CTO, taken from AI-built starting points (Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, Replit, Claude, Gemini) to real production: Cardify, an AI trading-card marketplace, and Pulse, an AI business-intelligence platform across 107 verticals.
When you hire The Notus for engineering, you hire Steve. He makes the architecture calls, writes the code, and is the person on the other end of the call. He works across the full modern web, mobile, and AI stack, and picks the right tools, frameworks, and models for each build rather than forcing every project through the same one.
Dasha Canfield
Dasha has spent the better part of a decade running projects for studios, agencies, and software teams, learning how a build actually gets from kickoff to shipped without the wheels coming off. Her work spans creative and marketing projects through to enterprise IT, but the throughline is the same everywhere.
She leads the creative and engineering teams who make the work, sets the direction, and makes the calls that keep a product moving and looking the way it should. That covers everything from brand guidelines to full application builds and redesigns. She works hands-on with Claude Code alongside the developers, helping turn ideas into working features. Direction, decisions, delivery: Dasha is the reason the work goes smoothly and the final product holds up.
