The St. Louis-based custom software and AI consulting firm earns top worldwide recognition for API development services.
ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sketch Development Services (sketchdev.io), a boutique custom software development and AI consulting firm headquartered in Webster Groves, Missouri, today announced its recognition as a Summer 2026 Clutch Global Award winner for API Development services. The honor places Sketch as the number one API development company worldwide on Clutch, the leading global marketplace of B2B service providers.
Clutch Global Awards represent the platform’s highest level of recognition. Honorees are selected through Clutch’s proprietary Ability to Deliver methodology, which evaluates companies based on verified client feedback, project success, industry expertise, and market presence.
For Sketch, the recognition in API development reflects a core strength that runs through all of the firm’s work: connecting enterprise systems, data sources, and AI capabilities through well-designed integrations. Whether building custom AI-enabled applications, modernizing legacy platforms, or helping enterprises prepare their technology infrastructure for AI adoption, Sketch’s API and integration expertise is foundational to every engagement.
“One of the biggest things our enterprise customers come to us for is our ability to make their entire technology landscape work together,” said Tyler Dougherty, VP of Sales at Sketch Development. “APIs and integrations are how we do that. Every organization has dozens of systems that need to communicate, and the companies that get integration right are the ones that get the most out of their technology investments. That’s what sets us apart.”
“We see a potential future where the way we interact with software is completely different. Custom software will still be important, but instead of adding AI to your custom software, you’ll be adding custom software to your AI,” said John Krewson, Founder and CEO of Sketch Development. “A big part of that shift is making sure your enterprise AI has access to the tools and integrations it needs to be effective. Being recognized as the top API developer is huge for us. It validates our positioning as a company that can lead clients toward the connected, AI-centric future of enterprise software.”
“Behind every successful digital transformation is a trusted technology partner,” said Mike Beares, Founder and CEO of Clutch. “Our Summer 2026 Clutch Global winners have distinguished themselves by delivering innovative solutions, building lasting client relationships, and consistently exceeding expectations.”
The Clutch Global Award adds to a strong year for Sketch Development. Founded in 2015 by John Krewson, the firm has grown into a full-service technology partner offering custom AI-enabled software development, AWS cloud consulting, Atlassian tooling and licensing, and organizational coaching and training. The company maintains a 5.0 rating on Clutch across all verified client reviews.
