We have strong opinions about how software gets built, and we stay flexible about which tools we use to build it. In short: a senior engineer who does the work right — for software teams adding their first AI features, and for small businesses that want real tools, a real website, and AI without the hype. Explained without the jargon, always.
Four ways teams bring us in. Most engagements start as one and grow.
Full-stack web applications, APIs, and SaaS products. Modern tools, designed to scale, documented so your team can own it after we leave.
Database design, system design, cloud architecture. Pragmatic decisions for the problem in front of you — not the latest hype cycle.
LLM-powered features, MCP server integrations, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows. Built on production foundations with source citations, not vibes.
Strangler-fig migrations off aging systems — incremental, low-risk, value first. A rare cross-generational asset: mainframe-era depth, modern delivery.
AI-assisted development is the operating model, not a marketing line. The process is opinionated; the substrate is not.
Our flagship product. Plain-English reports in; classified, deduped, and routed out. Bug intake is a sifting problem, not a storage problem — the LLM is the router, not the human.
Defaults, not dogma. We ship in what the engagement needs — from COBOL to Rust.
Tell us what you're building and we'll tell you, honestly, whether we're a good fit. Cash up front, no equity, no on-spec work.
