Hickory Dev

Specialized software for engineering teams.

Hickory Dev builds specialized software for engineering teams, starting with Cumulus, a modern AERMOD air quality modeling platform for environmental professionals.

Built by Engineers, For Engineers

We started Hickory Dev because we were tired of fighting our tools.

As engineers, we spent more time wrestling with file formats and waiting on slow software than actually doing engineering. We knew there had to be a better way.

So we built it ourselves. Cumulus started as an internal project to solve our own pain points—and it turned out other engineers had the same problems. Now we're building a suite of specialized tools that combine deep domain expertise with modern technology.

We're a small team, and that's intentional. We focus on doing a few things exceptionally well rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Every line of code is written by engineers who understand the problems because we've lived them.

Built on Solid Principles

Technical Precision

Each engineer depends on tools that are reliable, precise and fit-for-purpose. That's what we build.

Intentional Design

We believe engineering tools should be beautiful. We prioritize clarity and aesthetics to reduce cognitive load and enhance focus.

Strong Foundation

Like the heartwood of a hickory tree, our tools are built on a firm foundation so you can count on them as you grow.
