What We Actually Do

💻

Software Engineering

Backend systems, APIs, and applications built for the long haul. We write code your team will actually want to maintain.

☁️

Platform & Cloud

Infrastructure that stays out of your way. Multi-cloud, containers, CI/CD—whatever gets you shipping faster.

📊

Data & Analytics

Data pipelines that don't break at 3am. Analytics that answer real questions. ML when it actually makes sense.

🔒

Security & Compliance

SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS—we've done them all. Security baked in from day one, not bolted on later.

What Makes Us Different

Thoughtful engineering, built to hold up under real-world pressure.

🛠️

Quality Is the Default

We don’t trade correctness for speed or elegance for shortcuts. The work we ship is designed to be read, understood, and trusted years from now—not just demoed this quarter.

🧠

Experience Shows Up in the Details

We’ve built systems that stayed up, scaled cleanly, and survived handovers. That experience shows—in the questions we ask and the problems we prevent.

🧭

Good Decisions, Made Explicit

Every system is a set of trade-offs. We surface them early, document them clearly, and make sure they align with how your organization actually works.

🛡️

Built for Operations, Not Just Launch

Production is where systems earn their keep. We design for observability, failure, audits, and on-call reality—so nothing falls apart after go-live.

🔌

Designed to Fit, Not Replace

Most real work happens inside existing ecosystems. We integrate with what you already run, respecting constraints instead of pretending they don’t exist.

📦

We Leave Things Better Than We Found Them

Clear documentation, runbooks, and context are part of the job. When we step away, your teams aren’t stuck—they’re equipped.

The Transformation

What changes when systems are designed for scale, scrutiny, and continuity.

Risk Management
Risk discovered late and handled reactively Risk identified early and reduced deliberately
Compliance & Audit
Time lost reconstructing what happened Systems that explain themselves under review
Operations
Problems surface through escalations and noise Issues caught early with clear alert ownership
Change Management
Change slowed by fear of unintended impact Safe changes with testing and easy rollback
Delivery
Releases treated as risky, all-hands events Routine releases that fit into the workday
Predictability
Outcomes vary depending on who is involved Consistent outcomes driven by clear process
Architecture
Systems intertwined in ways no one can explain Clear boundaries backed by documented decisions
System Understanding
Only a few people understand how things work Shared understanding across teams and roles

Our Capabilities

A closer look at the services we offer across the product lifecycle

Legacy Modernization

Incremental upgrades, not big-bang rewrites

Performance Tuning

Find and fix the real bottlenecks

Tech Debt Paydown

Strategic refactoring that unlocks velocity

Migration & Upgrades

Move to new platforms safely

Keep It Running

Production systems need care and feeding. We handle the hard parts so your team can focus on features.

Site Reliability

SLOs, error budgets, incident response

Observability

Metrics, logs, traces that actually help

On-Call Support

24/7 coverage when you need it

Capacity Planning

Scale before you have to

Our Process

No mysteries. No surprises. Here's how engagements typically unfold.

01

Discovery

We listen first. Understand your systems, your constraints, your goals. No solutions until we know the real problem.

02

Architecture

We design before we build. You'll see diagrams, tradeoffs, and options before anyone writes code.

03

Build

Iterative delivery with regular check-ins. You see progress weekly, not quarterly.

04

Ship & Support

We don't disappear after launch. Knowledge transfer, documentation, and ongoing support as needed.

Why Teams Choose Us

We're engineers, not salespeople. Here's what that means in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects are you best suited for?

+

We thrive on complex backend systems, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and modernization efforts. If your project involves scaling challenges, compliance requirements, or untangling legacy code—that’s our sweet spot.

Can your team work alongside ours?

+

That’s actually how we prefer it. We embed with your engineers, share context, and make sure knowledge transfers naturally. When we’re done, your team owns everything—no handcuffs.

How quickly can you start?

+

Depends on the project and our current load, but typically 1-2 weeks. For urgent situations, we can sometimes move faster. Let’s talk and figure out what works.

What technologies do you work with?

+

We’re polyglot—TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java. Cloud-wise: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes. We pick the right tool for the job, not the trendiest one.

How do you handle communication and updates?

+

Direct and frequent. You’ll talk to the engineers doing the work, not account managers. Weekly syncs, async updates in Slack, and we’re always reachable when something’s urgent.

What does a typical engagement look like?

+

Usually starts with a focused 3-6 month project. Most clients stay for years because the relationship works. We ramp up fast, deliver consistently, and actually enjoy the long-term partnerships.

Do you work with startups or enterprises?

+

Both—but we’re honest about fit. Early-stage startups counting every dollar might find us pricey. We’re best for teams ready to invest in getting things right the first time.

How does pricing work?

+

Time and materials for ongoing work, fixed price when scope is clear. We’re upfront about costs before anything starts—no hidden fees, no scope creep surprises. You’ll always know what you’re paying for.
