Indy – Our Local Community
Most E-gineers live within the metro Indianapolis area. We love our city, its surrounding counties, and our great state of Indiana.
Sure, we have clients and love providing services outside the wonderful Midwest. But the Indy area is where most of us live, work, do our shopping, enjoy the outdoors (in four true seasons!), worship, raise our families, and show crazy-support for local sports.
This is where we choose to serve and wring our lives out within our community.
As a business, here are just a few of many ways we intentionally give ourselves around Indy.
Hosting Meet‑ups
We have the privilege of hosting several regular meet-ups!
IndyJUG
A group of professionals and hobbyists in the Indianapolis area who share an interest in Java technology…
AgileIndy
AgileIndy is an open forum for collaboration and knowledge sharing, whether you are a beginner to Agile or an old pro. The meetings provide opportunities for networking, idea sharing and learning about topics related to Agile. This meeting is open to anyone free of charge and food is provided. Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
CocoaHeads
A monthly gathering of local Mac and iOS developers to discuss building great software…
Indy Scala

Classical Conversations
Homeschooling families across the state enjoy presentations on topics including preparing transcripts, the ins and outs of college entrance exams, career aptitude options, post-secondary career options, and much more.
Sponsorships and Partnerships
Shepherd Community
Helping “Break the Cycle of Poverty.” We hosted some Shepherd Youth recently, to give them an idea of what E-gineering does and what we’re about. Our intent was to share many of the skills and roles around E-g and the market, so they’d get a better idea of the types of jobs to strive for, as well as what education and skills those jobs require.
Hour of Code
In the past we’ve hosted Hour of Code / “Bring your kids to work” days. And we’re looking forward to more in our future! We’ll make posts to our Facebook and Twitter pages when the time comes, so stay tuned.
Carmel 5k for Haiti
Another cause we’re proud to support that involves outdoor activity!
Personal Connections
And of course many E-gineers give personal time to non-profit charities, ministries, sports clubs, and school activities as well as participate as chairs/co-chairs/members of local boards, Rotary Clubs, and advisory boards.
It shows that the true heart of service doesn’t always mean service for pay.
