Our Story

From Startup to Industry Leader

ProgrammingCA was founded in 2015 by Michael Chen, a former Google engineer with a vision to bring enterprise-grade AI solutions to Canadian businesses of all sizes. What started as a three-person operation in a Toronto co-working space has grown into a team of 87 dedicated professionals.

Our journey has been defined by a relentless focus on innovation and client success. We've delivered over 2,800 projects, from simple auto applications to complex AI-powered enterprise systems that process millions of transactions daily.

Today, we're proud to be recognized as one of Canada's leading software development companies, trusted by startups, SMBs, and Fortune 500 companies alike.

Our Mission

Empowering Business Through Technology

We believe that every business, regardless of size, deserves access to world-class software solutions. Our mission is to democratize AI and advanced technology, making it accessible and practical for organizations across Canada.

We measure our success not by lines of code written, but by the tangible impact we create: costs reduced, efficiency gained, and competitive advantages secured for our clients.

Our Vision

Shaping the Future of Canadian Tech

We envision a future where Canadian businesses lead globally in technological innovation. By 2030, we aim to have empowered over 10,000 organizations with AI-powered solutions that transform how they operate and compete.

We're committed to developing homegrown talent, contributing to open-source communities, and building a sustainable technology ecosystem that benefits all Canadians.
