§ 01Engineering · 12

Engineering

Production web and product engineering — from a blank repo to a system that runs itself.

Engineering · 01

Full-Stack Web Development

Production web applications — frontend, backend, database, deployment — built by senior engineers who have done it before.

Engineering · 02

SaaS Product Engineering

Multi-tenant SaaS engineered for revenue — billing, plans, seats, usage, admin and the unglamorous infrastructure that makes a product sellable.

Engineering · 03

MVP & Rapid Prototyping

From idea to a real product in weeks. Senior team, fixed scope, ready to put in front of users — and to scale when it works.

Engineering · 04

Mobile App Development

iOS, Android and cross-platform apps engineered for real-world conditions — offline, slow networks, App Store and Play Store reality.

Engineering · 05

E-commerce Engineering

Headless commerce, checkout, payments and post-purchase engineering. Speed and conversion as engineering problems, not marketing initiatives.

Engineering · 06

API & Backend Engineering

Public APIs, internal services, SDKs and developer experience engineered for adoption — versioned, documented, observable.

Engineering · 07

Real-time & Streaming Systems

WebSockets, presence, collaboration, event streams and live data — engineered for the messy reality of always-on connections.

Engineering · 08

Design Systems & Frontend Engineering

Design systems, component libraries and frontend architecture engineered for the team that has to live with them.

Engineering · 09

Python Backend Engineering

Production Python services — FastAPI, Django, async, typed, observable — for APIs, ML serving, data tooling and the unglamorous backend work that runs the business.

Engineering · 10

Go Backend & Systems Engineering

Go services for performance-sensitive workloads — APIs, gateways, control planes, network and infrastructure tooling — engineered the way Go rewards.

Engineering · 11

Web Architecture & System Design

Architecture for web platforms — services, data flow, integration, scale and the decisions that compound over years. Written down, defensible, your team's.

Engineering · 12

Caching & Edge Performance

Cache architecture across browser, CDN, edge, application and database. Speed, cost and correctness — engineered together.

§ 07Advisory · 12

Consulting & Advisory

Fractional leadership, due diligence and strategic decisions when the next move is consequential.

Advisory · 01

Fractional CTO & Technical Advisory

Senior technical leadership on retainer — for founders without a CTO, boards needing oversight, and CEOs whose CTO needs a sparring partner.

Advisory · 02

Technical Due Diligence

Pre-investment, M&A and partnership diligence — code, infrastructure, team, security and roadmap evaluated by people who've operated all of them.

Advisory · 03

Code & Codebase Health Audits

Comprehensive codebase audits: architecture, code quality, tests, performance, security, operational maturity. Written report with prioritized remediation.

Advisory · 04

Tech Stack Strategy

What to build with, what to buy, what to migrate from. Stack selection grounded in your team, budget and trajectory.

Advisory · 05

Digital Transformation

Modernization programs that ship — not five-year decks. Phased transformation grounded in engineering reality and measured outcomes.

Advisory · 06

Build-vs-Buy Analysis

When to build it, when to buy it, when to wait. Rigorous analysis grounded in real costs — engineering, opportunity, lock-in, exit.

Advisory · 07

Engineering Team Augmentation

Senior engineers embedded in your team for a defined period — capacity, expertise or both. Working in your repos and rituals.

Advisory · 08

Engineering Hiring & Mentorship

Hire better engineers, faster. Scorecards, interview design, candidate evaluation and mentorship of your hiring leaders.

Advisory · 09

Architecture Review Service

Independent senior review of your architecture choices. A second opinion on the decision that matters — written, defensible, on demand.

Advisory · 10

Engineering Leadership Coaching

Coaching for engineering managers, directors and VPs — from people who've held those roles in shipping companies. Practical, weekly, confidential.

Advisory · 11

AI & Innovation Workshops

Working workshops — not vendor pitches. Your team learns what's actually possible with AI and modern engineering, with concrete outputs.

Advisory · 12

Vendor Selection & RFP Support

Independent vendor selection for material technology purchases. Honest scoring, defensible recommendation, no kickbacks.

Not sure which fits? Ask.
