Software development in Ensenada, Baja California.
Dallio is a software development company in Ensenada. We design and build custom web and mobile apps, AI features, and automations — for teams here in Baja California and across the border in California.
What we build.
We are a small team of engineers and designers who write production code. Projects come to us as a business problem, not a spec to type up — we work out the architecture, build it, and stay with it after launch.
Custom software development
Apps and platforms built from scratch around how your business actually runs, instead of bending your operation to fit off-the-shelf software.
Web development
Web applications, dashboards, customer portals, and storefronts — fast, accessible, and built to hold up under real traffic.
Mobile app development
iOS and Android apps that ship to the stores and share a backend with the rest of your product.
AI features and agents
Assistants, agents, semantic search, RAG, and document processing — built to run in production, not as a demo.
Automations and integrations
Manual workflows replaced with code. APIs, third-party services, and internal tools wired together so data stops being re-typed.
Cloud infrastructure
We are an official Google Cloud Partner. We architect, migrate, and run production workloads on Google Cloud.
Why a development team in Ensenada.
Ensenada sits on the Pacific coast of Baja California, roughly two hours south of San Diego. For a company in California looking for nearshore engineering, that geography does a lot of quiet work: the day starts at the same time, a video call never lands at midnight for one side, and an in-person visit is a drive rather than a long-haul flight.
The time zone is not an approximation. Ensenada is in Mexico's northern border zone, which kept daylight saving time on the same dates as the United States — so the clock here matches California all year, not just for part of it.
The city also has a real engineering base to hire from. CICESE, the Instituto Tecnológico de Ensenada, and UABC all sit here, and the local software industry has grown around that talent for years.
What we do differently from a staffing shop: we do not rent you developers by the hour and hand you a coordination problem. We take the build — architecture, code, infrastructure, delivery — and we are accountable for whether it works.

How we work.
Four stages, no surprises. Discover — we map the problem, requirements, and constraints before writing code. Architect — we design the stack, the data model, the services, and where AI fits in. Build — tight iterations, with working software in your hands every sprint. Evolve — after launch we measure, fix, and add features based on how the thing is actually used.
You work directly with the people writing the code. There is no account layer between you and the build.
Work we've shipped.
Recent builds across SaaS, mobile, hospitality, and operations — each one a real product in production, not a portfolio mockup.
Common questions.
Do you work with companies in the United States?
Yes. Ensenada is about two hours south of San Diego and runs on Pacific Time, so our working day lines up with California, Oregon, and Washington. We work in English and Spanish, and collaboration happens over whatever tools your team already uses.
What kind of software does Dallio build?
Custom web applications, mobile apps, internal platforms, AI features such as assistants, agents, search and document processing, process automations, and the cloud infrastructure to run all of it in production.
What time zone does your team work in?
Pacific Time. Ensenada sits in Mexico's northern border zone, which observes daylight saving time on the same dates as the United States, so we stay aligned with California year round.
Are you a nearshore development company?
We are a product engineering team based in Ensenada, and we take on nearshore work for teams in the United States. Unlike a staffing agency, we take responsibility for the whole build rather than renting out headcount.
How does a project start?
With a conversation about what you are building and the constraints around it. From there we map requirements, propose an architecture and a scope, and start shipping in short iterations so you see working software early.
