Our Essence
CustomStack was officially founded in 2018, but its story begins much earlier. It is the result of years of hands-on experience, continuous study, and professional expertise in developing digital solutions that bridge software engineering, project management, and business strategy.
At the helm of CustomStack is Alcides Mendes, a professional with a solid background in technology and a postgraduate degree in Software Engineering. This multidisciplinary expertise, combined with extensive market experience, ensures a comprehensive vision across the entire system development lifecycle — from conception to delivery and continuous evolution.
At CustomStack, every project is directly overseen by the founder's technical supervision, ensuring high quality standards, architectural consistency, and an absolute focus on delivering real business results.
"At CustomStack, we transform complex ideas into concrete results. Technology must be the greatest ally of your sustainable growth."
We work with method, responsibility, and technical rigor — where best development practices and security are not optional, but inherent requirements.
Each solution is designed to support growth, reduce risk, and generate concrete value.
CustomStack exists to transform technology into strategy — with consistency, transparency, and technical excellence.
