Engineering that holds up after the demo.
Most of our engagements start in one of these shapes. We'll tell you within a couple of working days whether and how we can help. If a different team would serve you better, we'll say so.
CODEBASE_RESCUE
For vibe-coded products that need to grow up.
You shipped fast with AI assistants, no-code, or a weekend hackathon. It works, right up until it doesn't. We refactor LLM-generated and prototype-grade codebases into systems you can scale, secure, and hand to a real engineering team. The work that got you here stays; the parts that won't survive production get rewritten with you in the loop.
What's included
- Architecture and risk audit: what will break first, and why
- Structural refactor with tests added as we go
- CI/CD, observability, and environment hygiene
- Security hardening: auth, secrets, data path, dependencies
- Performance and database review, with a scaling plan
- Written handover so a future team can pick it up cleanly
From a first version to a system that scales.
MVP_ENGINEERING
Ship a first version that won't embarrass you in six months.
Build the first real version of your product with engineers, not a hackathon. Production-grade from day one, deliberately scoped, with the boring fundamentals (auth, billing, observability, deploys) already in place when you ship.
- Tight scope co-defined with you
- Production stack from the first commit
- Auth, billing, email, and admin surfaces included
- Deployed to your infrastructure, not ours
PLATFORM_&_BACKEND
Backend systems that survive scale, audit, and the next hire.
Python and Django services with REST or GraphQL surfaces. Postgres, Redis, Celery, Docker, CI/CD. Designed for the load you actually have and the one you'll have in two years, and structured so the next engineer to join can read it.
- Service architecture and API design
- Multi-tenant data models and access control
- Async work, queues, and background jobs
- Observability, audit logs, and operational runbooks
WEB_&_MOBILE_APPS
Next.js and React Native, built to production discipline.
Production React and Next.js applications with SSR, edge rendering, and real Core Web Vitals. React Native mobile apps with native navigation, offline-first behaviour, and a path to OTA updates. One codebase, native feel.
- Next.js web apps with SSR / edge / streaming
- React Native iOS and Android from a shared codebase
- Design-system implementation and component libraries
- Accessibility, performance, and SEO baked in
AI_INTEGRATION
RAG, model orchestration, and the middleware that makes it production-grade.
Retrieval-augmented systems, multi-model orchestration, evaluation harnesses, and the unglamorous middleware that turns a demo into a product. Built with human-in-the-loop gates where the domain demands them.
- RAG pipelines over your own data
- Model routing, fallback, and cost controls
- Evaluation harnesses and regression checks
- Human approval gates for sensitive actions
TECHNICAL_AUDIT
A short, structured second opinion on what you've built.
A fixed-scope engagement: we read your codebase, your data path, and your infrastructure, then return a written report with a prioritised risk list, a remediation plan, and an honest read on what to fix yourself versus what to outsource.
- Code, architecture, and security review
- Data-handling and compliance posture
- Scaling and reliability risk assessment
- Written report with prioritised remediation plan
DATA_INFRASTRUCTURE
Pipelines, schemas, and integrations for systems where the data is the product.
Versioned, observable data pipelines and integrations for products that live or die by their data. Built to meet European compliance baselines from the first commit, with clean schemas, replayable jobs, and the operational tooling to keep them honest.
- ETL and event pipelines (batch and streaming)
- Schema design, migrations, and lineage
- Third-party integrations with retry and audit
- GDPR-aware data handling and export tooling
Small team. Named owner. Fixed cadence.
- 01
Conversation
You tell us what you're building or what's broken. We tell you, plainly, whether we're the right team.
- 02
Scoped proposal
A written brief: outcomes, scope, team shape, timeline, price. No multi-tier sales decks.
- 03
Build
Weekly cadence, visible progress, code you own. Status is something we provide, not something you mine for.
- 04
Handover
Tests, docs, runbooks, and the architectural decisions in writing, so the next engineer can pick it up.
