we work in three modes.

systems, strategy, craft.

systems

greenfield mvps, backend services, infrastructure, ci/cd, observability. for founders shipping the first version of something — or replacing a fragile predecessor.

typical engagement: 8 to 12 weeks. we scope tightly, ship on time, and hand over with documentation and runbooks. for the next 30 days after launch we are still on call.

strategy

audits, technical due diligence, hiring support, fractional cto. for teams that need direction more than they need another pair of hands.

typical engagement: 1 to 6 months, often less than full-time. we read the code, talk to the team, and write it down. the deliverable is a decision you can defend.

craft

code reviews, refactors, rescue projects, standards setup. for codebases that work but no longer feel safe to change.

typical engagement: 2 to 12 weeks. small surgical changes, with the team, not around them. we leave you with something you would have built yourselves if you had the time.
