Independent software consultancy

Practical software expertise, when you need it.

We help businesses plan, build and fix software, from a one-off architecture review to delivering a complete product. Clear advice, honest estimates and working code.

Services

Engagements are scoped to what you actually need: a few hours of advice, a fixed-scope project, or ongoing support.

Custom software development

Web applications, internal tools, APIs and back-end services built to fit how your business works.

Architecture & code review

An independent look at your system's design, code quality, security and scalability, with a prioritized list of fixes.

Cloud & DevOps

Hosting, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and monitoring that make releases routine instead of risky.

Legacy modernization

Incremental upgrades and migrations for aging systems, without a risky big-bang rewrite.

Integrations & automation

Connect the tools you already use and automate the repetitive work between them.

Technical advisory

Fractional CTO support: technology choices, vendor evaluation, hiring help and roadmap planning.

How we work

A simple, transparent process with no surprises.

  1. Discover

    A free initial call to understand your goals, constraints and what's already in place.

  2. Plan

    A written proposal with scope, timeline and cost, so you know what you're getting before work starts.

  3. Build

    Short iterations with regular demos. You see progress early and can change direction as you learn.

  4. Hand off

    Documentation, knowledge transfer and support options. You own the code and everything that goes with it.
