What we do

Most of our work is long-term. We join a team, build the hard parts and stay to keep them running.

Software engineering

Backends, web apps and integrations, built to be maintained by your team after we hand them over.

  • APIs and platform backends
  • Web and admin applications
  • Payments, identity and integrations

AI in your product

Language models connected to your own data and workflows, with the checks that make them safe to put in front of customers.

  • Search and assistants over your documents
  • Automation of manual review work
  • Evaluation and cost control

Technical advice

An outside view before a big decision: architecture, vendors, security or a system that is getting hard to change.

  • Architecture and code reviews
  • Technical due diligence
  • Roadmaps and hiring help

How a project runs

The same four steps whether it lasts a month or a year.

  1. Step 1

    Talk

    A call about the problem, the deadline and what already exists.

  2. Step 2

    Scope

    A written plan with what we will build, how long it takes and what it costs.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    Short cycles, working software every week and access to everything we write.

  4. Step 4

    Run

    We hand it over with documentation, or keep running it for you.

Our products

We also build and sell our own software. It keeps us honest about what it takes to run a product every day.
