01 — What we do

Two crafts. One team.

Projects stall in the gap between the design file and the code. We close it: the people who design your product are the people who ship it.

Product & interface design

We turn a fuzzy idea or a tangled process into something people understand on first use — tested with real users before it is built.

LinAge2 — from an NUS lab to real clinics

A biological-ageing clock developed at NUS, turned into a production service used in clinics. We built the reporting and clinic-management platform from scratch on health-data-compliant AWS infrastructure.A biological-ageing clock developed at NUS, turned into a production service used in clinics — reporting and clinic management built on health-data-compliant AWS.

Nordic trust · Singapore pace

Say it plainly.

We tell you what is realistic — including when the answer is no.

Own everything.

Your code, your data, your cloud accounts — from day one.

Finish the job.

A small senior team. The people you meet are the people who build it.

“I started Frontier to bring the calm, plain-spoken way Nordic teams build software to Singapore. Small team, senior hands, no surprises.”
