Leapfrog Research & Development, LLC is a privately held software
development firm located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was founded
by software engineers Andrew J. Kompanek and

Leapfrog's internal management structure is similar to a professional
partnership like a law firm: our Senior Engineers hold the title of
Partner, management decisions rest with the Managing Partners, and
more junior members of the team hold the title of Associate. We refer
