Software Development

We embed senior engineers in your team to make the right technology decisions and build production software. Greenfield, legacy, migrations. It ships on time and your team can maintain it without us.

The problem with hiring for a project

You have a six-month initiative and no one to staff it. Hiring takes half that time. An agency will put juniors on it and call it done. A freelancer can write code but can't own the architecture.

We embed in your team as senior engineers who think about the system, not just the ticket. We choose technologies based on your team's capabilities and the problem at hand: Ruby, Elixir, TypeScript, Python, Go. Not what's trendy. Not what we prefer. The goal is software your team can maintain and extend on their own.

What we build

  • Greenfield applications from architecture through first deploy and beyond. We get to production fast and keep the codebase clean as it grows.
  • Legacy modernisation through incremental rewrites and zero-downtime migrations. Your business keeps running while we replace the foundation underneath it.
  • Platform migrations between frameworks, languages, cloud providers, or on-prem to cloud. Clear migration paths with rollback strategies at every step.
  • Infrastructure and DevOps from CI/CD pipelines to infrastructure-as-code to observability. The plumbing that keeps production running and deploys boring.
  • Performance engineering through profiling, query optimisation, caching strategies, and background job architecture. Making slow systems fast without rewrites.

What you can expect

We've shipped production systems in Ruby, Elixir, TypeScript, Python, and Go. We run infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure, and bare metal. On the data side, we've worked with most things you'd find in a production stack: relational, document, streaming, warehousing. The breadth matters because we pick what fits your problem, not what's familiar.

Same discipline regardless of stack: clean deployments, proper monitoring, tested code, documented decisions. Every system we build comes with docs and enough context for your team to run it on their own.

Selected engagements

Legacy migration

Replaced a 10-year-old Perl service with Ruby for a social network with millions of users. Ten years of debt, and the old code couldn't support new business requirements. The rewrite fixed both.

Data engineering

Built a GDPR-compliant event processing pipeline for a global medical device company. Custom rules engine in Node.js on Azure Functions and Event Hub, pseudonymizing millions of events daily before they reach the data lake.

Platform engineering

Built an ML platform for a defense technology company to replace a patchwork of departmental tools. Self-service on Kubernetes: MinIO, Jupyter, Dagster. Data science teams spin up their own dev/test/prod environments through a wizard.

Infrastructure

Built a data warehouse and reporting platform for a large NGO during their SAP-to-Dynamics migration. PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, dbt, Power BI. Dev, test, and prod infrastructure provisioned with Terraform.

How we work

We work alongside your team, not in a silo.

01

Understand the problem

What are you building, and why? What constraints matter: team, timeline, existing systems, budget? We start with business reality, not technology preferences.

02

Pick the right tools

We choose technologies based on your team's capabilities, project timeline, and problem fit. If your team already knows a stack and it fits the problem, we use it. No dogma.

03

Build incrementally

Working software, shipped early and often. Every increment is deployable and valuable on its own. No big-bang launches, no phases that only pay off if all future phases happen.

04

Hand it over clean

Documentation, tests, deployment runbooks. Your team owns the system from day one. We build software that outlasts the engagement.
