Software consulting
A small consultancy. We help startups and growing companies make sound technical decisions, and we write the code to back them up.
Get in touch What we doThe people you talk to are the people doing the work.
A few engagements at a time, so each one gets attention.
Cloud infrastructure, data systems, security, and product engineering.
Services
A few areas where our experience tends to be most useful.
System design, infrastructure planning, and AWS work. Helping you make the right call before it gets expensive.
Acting as the senior technical voice on a team — driving decisions, helping with hiring, and translating between product and engineering.
Pipelines, integrations, and data infrastructure. Designed to be reliable and easy to maintain.
Taking an idea to working software. We scope, design, and build — and your team owns what we ship.
Auth, access controls, and infrastructure for regulated environments. SOC 2 and PCI work, built in from the start.
An honest read on a codebase, vendor, or technical decision. Written in plain language for whoever needs to read it.
Background
A look at the kinds of problems we've worked on — across industries, scales, and stacks.
Software for planning and managing autonomous drones for crop monitoring and management.
End-to-end design for a wireless lighting platform — backend, frontend, mobile, and protocol layer.
Early-stage builds for social, location-based, and e-commerce startups.
Pipeline design and technical architecture for multiple large financial services firms.
Access control architecture for a solar power monitoring platform for commercial real estate.
Two-sided marketplace connecting buyers and sellers in an automotive vertical.
Digital transformation for a national tire services chain — vendor integrations and in-store applications.
Data pipeline and reporting on real estate usage and occupancy across a global corporation.
Built and ran a research collaboration platform that handled live events for thousands of users.
Approach
Most engagements move through some version of the following. Timelines and scope vary.
A call to talk through what you're working on. We'll be candid about whether we're the right fit, and what kind of engagement would actually help.
No charge · 30–60 minWe spend time learning your context — reading code, talking to your team, looking at the systems. The goal is to understand the situation well enough to give real advice, not surface-level reactions.
Typically 1–2 weeksA written summary of what we found, what we'd do, and why. If it makes sense to move forward, we propose a scope that fits. If it doesn't, we say that too.
Delivered as a document and a callImplementation, advisory, embedded — whatever the engagement calls for. Regular check-ins, working software shipped along the way, and your team in the loop the whole time.
Weeks to monthsWe make sure your team can run with what we built. No proprietary tooling, no abstractions only we understand, no ongoing dependency on us.
Built in from the startA good fit for
Founders who need a technical partner before their first engineering hire.
Small engineering teams that want senior input on a hard problem.
Non-technical decision-makers looking at vendors, build-vs-buy, or systems they've inherited.
Research groups that need software built to production standards.
We use modern tools — including AI — where they help us move faster or catch things we'd miss. They don't replace the judgment that comes from having actually built and run systems in production.
You're working with people who've been through the trade-offs before, who can read between the lines of what you're describing, and who'll push back when something doesn't add up.
