Six things we are actually good at.

Every engagement is some combination of these. We would rather say no to the rest than learn it on your budget.

01

Scalable platforms

Most systems are not slow because of the language they are written in. They are slow because the data model, the boundaries, and the deployment were chosen for the first version and never revisited. We design those three first, then build against them.

  • Java and .NET services
  • Python and Node services
  • Relational and document schema design
  • Versioned migrations
  • REST and event APIs
  • Containerised deploys
  • Load and capacity testing
02

Automation

The expensive part of most operations is the gap between two systems that a person closes by hand — copying a number, chasing an approval, re-keying a document. We close those gaps with software that runs on an event rather than on a reminder.

  • System-to-system integrations
  • Event-driven jobs
  • Document and data pipelines
  • Approval and routing flows
  • Scheduled reconciliation
  • Third-party API adapters
03

Process optimization

We start by watching the work, not the wiring diagram. Once the real path is written down with timings, the bottleneck is usually somewhere nobody nominated. Then we decide what is worth automating and what should simply stop being done.

  • Process mapping with timings
  • Baseline measurement
  • Bottleneck analysis
  • Build-or-drop decisions
  • Rollout and training
  • Before-and-after reporting
04

Operate and scale

Software that nobody owns degrades quietly. A retainer keeps a named engineer on the account who already knows the system, so the answer to an incident is a fix rather than an onboarding.

  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Incident response
  • Dependency and security upgrades
  • Performance tuning
  • Capacity planning
  • Monthly written report
05

Product interfaces

Internal tools get used all day by people who did not choose them. We build the front end with the same care as a customer-facing product, because a tool that fights its operator adds the manual steps back in.

  • React and TypeScript
  • Dashboards and back-office tools
  • Design systems
  • Accessibility to WCAG AA
  • Offline-tolerant clients
  • Mobile web
06

Data and reporting

You cannot optimise a process you cannot see. We put the operational numbers somewhere the people accountable for them can read without asking anyone.

  • Reporting schemas
  • Operational dashboards
  • Scheduled extracts
  • Data quality checks
  • Audit trails
  • Export and archival

What an engagement costs you in time

Typical
  • Discovery call45 minutes. No deck, no sales engineer — the person who would build it.
  • Mapping and scopeOne to two weeks, paid. Ends with a written spec and a build plan you keep either way.
  • First working softwareEnd of the first two-week iteration after scope is signed.
  • Your time during buildOne review session per iteration, plus questions in a shared channel.
  • HandoverDocumentation and a walkthrough with your team, whether or not you take a retainer.
