2023 / Staying with Our Community

Over this year, we have made significant efforts to foster a strong developer community - Remote Developers Conference, which brought together hundreds developers to discuss the benefits, challenges, and future of remote team collaboration.

2022 / Plans for the future

This year, we plan to share our knowledge about everything we at Shinetech do and how we do it. Currently, we are creating a playbook that should encompass our 20-year experience of working remotely.  We want to condense our whole experience in an easily digestible way, even for someone who has never seen any software development process. If you’d like to have regular updates about software development best practices, sign up on our mailing list, and we will keep you updated!

2021 / Happy birthday!
What started in 2001 as a drive to provide high-quality software development services has grown into a 600-people strong company. This year was all about Shinetech’s birthday; we celebrated our 20th anniversary by organizing a coding camp and the first Shinetech Honor of Kings eSports tournament. In 2021, we also had no pandemic-induced service disruption, helped our clients overcome Covid-19 transformations, and further established new partnerships. One of the top impacts we had was with our partners, NHS Barts Health, where we helped them quickly develop robust training and documentation software for Covid-related treatments.
2019 / Certification & Awards
In 2019 we were entered into two competitions with two of our long term clients; these were HP Inc.-with Shinetech were selected as the finalist at the 2019 Adobe Imagine Excellence Awards. Shinetech was also a finalist for the "Best Public Sector Digital Project" at the prestigious Computing Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2019. It was also this year that we officially were rewarded ISO IEC 27001 certification.
2017 / Magento Solution Partner
Shinetech takes pride in developing solutions for a wide array of eCommerce platforms, these include Shopify, Drupal, Spark, Joomla and Magento. We found that Magento is such a powerful eCommerce platform that we became an official Magento solutions partner in 2017 and in 2019 we even got recognized by Magento and were named a finalist in the Adobe Imagine Excellence Awards
2016 / North American growth
Continuing our momentum in regards to international expansion, we decided to cover both the east and west sides of the States, and we opened two new offices in North America – one in Vancouver, Canada and another in San Francisco. Having delivery centers in the heart of two high-tech cities has helped us maintain a highly-skilled talent pool and offer a level of onsite/hybrid service unique to Shinetech Software.
2015 / Sydney branch

As we grew our customer base it became apparent that being able to offer on-site services was a key to winning and maintaining great clients. In 2015 we opened two new offices. One in Sydney, Australia to service our our Oceania & APAC clients. The other was in Karlstad, Sweden to service Nordic and European clients.

2013 / Culture shock
By 2013, Shinetech has already amassed a wealth of software development knowledge. However, we understood that we needed to go the extra mile and understand our clients on a deeper cultural level. We decided to send our engineers from various branches to work in our American offices for a few weeks to learn more about the culture and to improve interpersonal communication skills.
2010 / London's Calling
As Shinetech grew its European client base, we knew that we needed to provide a higher, more intimate level of service and offer on-site development & customer service for our European clients. Shinetech entered the United Kingdom to formally open our first (but not last) European office in London. This year, we were first awarded the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific award.
2009 / Adapt & Grow
In late 2009, Shinetech was experiencing growing pains trying to compete in the software development market. With leadership from our CEO and an A-team of talented software experts, we decided to empower our engineers to go the extra mile and offer more services outside traditional software development.
2008 / The gold standard

We found a lot of our clients were requesting Microsoft development services. Shinetech decided that it would be in both our and our client's interest for us to become an official Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in Software Development. We have been partnered ever since.

2005 / The American dream
After four years of developing software for clients in North and Latin America, we learned that, to service our North American client base properly, we needed to be on the ground with them. On January 13th, 2005, we officially founded our first office in New York City.
2001 / Humble beginnings

Seeing the growth of global  need for software development, our CEO Jerry Zhang established Shinetech.
