Cykod is now mostly a one person development agency that is a lot of Pascal and a little bit of Martha as needed. We focus on AI Assisted development - building projects in a fraction of the time of larger agencies, while still applying best-in-class engineering practices.
Cykod was founded in 2006 when Martha and I started it in our tiny condo in the North End of Boston, then a few years in moved to offices in Somerville and later the Seaport. We built hundred of websites in our 8 years of business and grew to 6 full-time employees before merging into a startup we had built and I was the CTO of at the time. We then shut down from 2013-2026 as Martha became a tenured professor of communications at Massachusetts College of Art, and I joined Alignable as full-time CTO for 13 years.
In 2026, Cykod restarted as a single-developer agency focused on quick turnaround, AI assisted development at a fraction of the cost of larger agencies. By carefully orchestrating a fleet code agents, projects can be built and deployed in the time it takes other agencies to schedule a kick-off. Utilizing 30+ years of software development experience to build well-architected, scalable products we look forward to working with you on whatever you can imagine.
Pascal has an M.Eng and a B.S. from MIT in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and has been building for the web for over 30 years. He started the Boston Frontend Development and Boston HTML5 Game Development Meetups back in the aughts, wrote a book for Wiley, and has taught Web Development at the Massachusetts College of Art and the SMFA. He spent the past 14+ years in CTO roles before relaunching Cykod.
Martha has an MFA in Interactive Design from the Massachusetts College of Art and a BA in Graphic Design from Simmons College. She has extensive experience across print and advertising as well as years in web and user-experience design. She is currently a tenured professor at and the chair of the communications department at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
