Engineering across the stack
We take on engineering work from product build through to production support. Engagements are led by people with direct build and production experience, not purely advisory backgrounds.
Product & Software Engineering
Building software products and applications end to end, from a first working version through to a system that holds up in production.
- Web and mobile application development
- APIs, integrations and database design
- MVPs and new product builds
- Modernisation of existing applications
Cloud & Infrastructure
Designing and operating cloud environments that are secure, cost-aware and straightforward to reason about.
- Architecture across AWS, Azure and GCP
- Cost review and optimisation
- Networking, IAM and landing-zone design
- Kubernetes and internal developer platforms
- Migration and modernisation planning
DevOps & Automation
Delivery workflows that get code to production quickly, safely and repeatably, with manual toil removed from your team.
- CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
- Release strategies: blue-green, canary, feature flags
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi)
- Environment, artifact and version management
Reliability & IT Operations
Keeping production measurable, dependable and recoverable, including ongoing support for systems already running.
- SLOs, SLIs and error budgets
- Metrics, logging and tracing (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
- Incident response design, on-call structure and postmortems
- Change management, runbooks and capacity planning
- Ongoing production support
AI Engineering
AI applied to real engineering and operational work, only where it measurably improves an outcome.
- LLM-based applications and internal tooling
- AI-assisted development workflows and guardrails
- AI-assisted log and incident triage
- Evaluated case by case against real benefit
Advisory & Assessments
An independent, outside look at an existing product, platform, pipeline or team's operational posture.
- Architecture and reliability review
- Delivery pipeline and process audit
- Security and cost posture assessment
- Prioritised, practical improvement roadmap
Custom engagements
Have a requirement that doesn't fit neatly into the categories above? Most of our work starts that way. Tell us the problem and we'll scope it with you, bringing in the right specialists for the job.
Three things we're asked for by name
Focused engagements that sit alongside the delivery work above.
Fractional CTO
Ongoing part-time technology leadership for teams that need it without a full-time hire: architecture decisions, engineering standards, production readiness and technology strategy. Typically a recurring commitment of a set number of days per month.
DORA Assessment
Baseline your delivery performance against the four DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore service. Then the hands-on work to close the gaps that actually move them.
Training & Workshops
Custom curriculum and material built around your team's actual stack, delivered live in person or remote, with hands-on labs and follow-up support. Topics span engineering, cloud, DevOps and reliability.
Not sure which of these you need?
Describe the problem and we'll tell you what the work actually involves, including when the answer is that you don't need us.
