Engineering Culture:
At MAQ Software, we foster a strong engineering culture with a can-do attitude. Our key managers come
from excellent educational backgrounds and have significant experience in growing a company and
mentoring software engineers. Due to our small company size, we are agile and able to adopt the latest
technologies and computing trends ahead of larger industry players.

As a part of our globally distributed engineering team, our engineers gain exposure to the latest software
engineering practices and fast development cycles, providing them with the opportunity to work on
challenging technical problems that utilize cutting-edge technologies for fast-paced software delivery.
Our collaborative and supportive work environment encourages innovation and growth, making our
company an exciting and rewarding place to work.

Examples of some of our projects:

 We built an analytics platform for a leading fintech company using Azure services, enabling them
to scale to 1000+ customers and provide self-service, near real-time analytics. Our solution, based
on Azure Synapse, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, and Power BI,
followed the best practices of the Azure Well-Architected Framework, and leveraged migration
strategies from Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework. Our automated deployment framework
reduced setup time from days to hours. The platform now offers powerful self-service analytics,
enabling their customers to reach millions of borrowers faster and easily integrate machine
learning models for innovation.

  We helped an organic supermarket chain migrate to Microsoft Power BI and Azure Synapse to
improve their reporting and data analytics capabilities. The previous system was time-consuming,
error-prone, and offered limited visualization and self-service capabilities. With the new solution,
the client can now perform direct queries between front-end Power BI reports and back-end data,
enabling real-time insights and a holistic view across teams. Azure Synapse also provides higher
data security. The migration resulted in automatic report generation, reduced operational costs,
increased ROI, and better business decisions.

 We developed a chatbot for the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) to improve its
Program Service Evaluator (PSE) training. The chatbot used Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services to
answer PSE questions based on the policy manual of various state benefit programs. The chatbot
learned from user feedback and crawled the policy content automatically. The chatbot increased
evaluation efficiency, reduced senior staff time, and provided conversational responses to PSEs.
The chatbot integrated seamlessly into the PSEs’ workflow and was accessible through a web
interface and Skype for Business.

 Our client, a leader in the energy and utilities sector, needed a scalable solution to analyze large
volumes of IoT data from diverse applications. We used Power BI and Azure Data Explorer (ADX) to
ingest, transform, and visualize semi-structured JSON data from network logs. Our solution
reduced the data refresh time, handled dynamic schema changes, and enabled comprehensive
analysis using Direct Query mode. Our client gained real-time insights and a competitive edge in
the industry with our robust and effective solution. The solution also facilitated efficient data
ingestion and transformation, effectively tackled issues pertaining to data refresh and dynamic
schema of data.

 We helped a multinational food and beverage chain to improve its sales forecasting accuracy by
building a hybrid machine learning model on Azure Databricks. The model used historical sales,
weather, and event data to predict future sales and analyze the impact of various factors on sales.
The model also detected and explained seasonal and daily spikes and lag periods. Our model
reduced the MAPE value from 0.13 to 0.09 and enabled the client to make better business
decisions.
