Is this advisory or hands-on?

Both - but we lean towards hands-on. We embed with your team as senior engineers. We write code, review PRs, pair on hard problems, and own delivery outcomes alongside you.

How long does a typical engagement last?

Most consultancy engagements run 8–16 weeks for a focused audit and architectural uplift. Longer embeds (3–6 months) are available for ongoing delivery support.

Do you work with any tech stack?

We're strongest in TypeScript, Python, Node.js, React, Next.js, Go, AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes. We'll assess fit honestly if your stack is outside our core expertise.

How do you measure success?

We agree on measurable outcomes upfront: deployment frequency, lead time, error rates, build times, and developer satisfaction scores. We report against these throughout.

Who it's for

Built for teams that need this now

This service was designed around a specific kind of problem. If any of these sound like your team, you're in the right place.

Engineering leaders in scale-ups

Dealing with accumulated technical debt that is slowing delivery and increasing risk

CTOs rebuilding legacy systems

Who need experienced engineers to design the path forward, not just give advice

Product teams hitting an architecture ceiling

Where the current system can't support the next product phase without a rethink

Common triggers

Signs you need this

Most teams come to us after one of these moments. Recognise any of them?

Every feature takes 3x longer to build than it should - the codebase is fighting you

You're rebuilding a legacy system and need experienced guidance on the architecture

Your infrastructure isn't built to handle the scale you're now operating at

Onboarding new engineers takes weeks because nobody fully understands the system

You need someone to challenge your team's technical decisions, not just agree with them

Recognise two or more of these?
