Our mission
To deliver valuable custom software solutions our customers love to use every day.
We mean every word of that. Work is not done until the customer agrees it is done and is actually using it. Daily adoption is how we measure success. When the work someone asks for won’t solve the problem, we say so.
Professional
Quality of work, clear communication, and reliability are the standard, never the aspiration.
Security-minded
Customer data and confidentiality are treated as first-order engineering requirements.
Resourceful
We’re hired to solve problems, so we do what the problem requires.
Leadership
Phillip Dennis
Founder & Principal
Phillip built Watkyn’s first applications himself and still leads client engagements. A Certified Management Accountant and a veteran of the U.S. Army Reserve and U.S. Naval Reserve Seabees, he studied economics before graduate work at Fordham University, where he taught undergraduates as a teaching fellow.
Matthew Parks
President
Matt leads Watkyn’s operations and its government procurement practice, including RFP responses and contract delivery. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Boston University and previously served as Chief Academic Officer, Interim Provost, and professor at The King’s College in New York, experience that directly informs Watkyn’s higher education practice.
Platform delivery is supported by senior Quickbase, Caspio, and AWS developers.
How we hold ourselves accountable
A written Code of Ethics, actually enforced
Every employee and contractor on the Watkyn team acknowledges our Code of Ethics in writing at hire and reaffirms it quarterly. It covers confidentiality, conflicts of interest, anti-bribery, fair billing, and the obligation to bring concerns directly to leadership. A summary of these commitments is published for anyone to read. Ethics & Conduct →
A security program built to SOC 2 criteria
We maintain a formal, written security policy set covering information security, acceptable use, access control, encryption, secure development, and incident response, and we are implementing our security program against the SOC 2 framework. We understand FERPA and the state data-privacy environment our government and higher education clients operate in. Read more on Security & Compliance →
