Collaborate, Compute, Conserve
Longleaf Software is a software engineering and consulting firm in Southwest Georgia. We work with the organizations doing ecology research and natural resource conservation — universities, agencies, land trusts, and research cooperatives.
Research software, built to last
Research code is usually written to answer one question, once. It works, it produces a paper, and then it sits on a workstation under someone's desk while the next grant cycle starts.
We rebuild that work into infrastructure: real-time data ingestion pipelines, APIs your collaborators can actually query, and simulation code that runs on a GPU cluster in an afternoon instead of a workstation overnight.
We work alongside your researchers rather than taking a specification and disappearing for six months. Complex computational problems get solved faster when the people who understand the science and the people who understand the hardware are in the same conversation.
We set large goals together, and we meet them.
