THE APPROACH

Senior engineering, minus the layers.

  • You talk to the engineers.

    The two founders do the work themselves. No account managers, no hand-offs, nobody in the middle.

  • AI for speed, people for judgment.

    We use AI for code, tests and review, but a person reads and owns everything that ships.

  • Something to look at every week.

    A demo from your repo each week, so you see real progress instead of status reports.

WHAT WE BUILD

The right build for your product.

Full-stack work from architecture to production. Same standards and the same two founders, whichever layer you need.

WEB + BACK END

Web platforms, and the services behind them.

Customer-facing sites on a headless CMS, plus the APIs, back offices and data pipelines behind your product. Built for speed, accessibility and editors who don’t need a developer.

  • Contentful-certified delivery, with editors in mind.
  • Services in C#, F#, Laravel or Node.js, documented and tested.
  • Your repository, your CI, handed over cleanly.

CLOUD + INTEGRATIONS

Cloud and integrations that stay out of your way.

Serverless and container setups with queues, databases and monitoring, sized for what you run today. Storefronts, payments and CRMs connected so data flows without manual work.

  • Sized for today, ready for growth.
  • Monitoring and runbooks from day one.
  • Commerce, payment and partner APIs wired together.

FROM A CLIENT
They took over a codebase nobody wanted to touch and had it shipping every week within a month. It felt like hiring two senior leads, not an agency.
