Technical Consulting

Sometimes the most useful thing we can do is not build something new, but tell you honestly whether what exists is sound — or bring in a senior engineer for a few months rather than a whole new team. Technical consulting covers architecture review, technology selection, team augmentation, and codebase health assessments for teams at any scale.

What we do

We review existing architecture and codebases and give a direct assessment of where the risk actually is — not a generic best-practices report, but specific findings tied to your system. We help with technology selection when a team is choosing a stack, a database, or a cloud provider and wants an outside opinion informed by having actually shipped on the options being considered. And where a team needs more senior capacity without a lengthy hire, we augment directly, working inside your existing process rather than around it.

Why this is credible

Every recommendation we make is grounded in things we’ve actually built and operated: production APIs and dating platforms, an AWS-certified cloud practice, AI pipelines running in production, and contract engagements inside larger engineering teams at companies like Discovery Networks and SEGA Europe. See the Work page for the specific projects this experience comes from. We’re not consulting from a framework we read about — we’re consulting from systems we’ve run.

How we work

We start with a scoped review — codebase, architecture, or a specific decision — rather than an open-ended engagement, so you know what you’re getting before committing further. Team augmentation is staffed by the same senior engineers who do our project work, not a separate bench, which means the person reviewing your architecture is the same calibre of person who’d be asked to build it.

What you get

A clear, specific assessment you can act on, or a senior engineer embedded in your team for as long as the gap needs filling. Either way, the goal is to leave your team more capable than we found it, not dependent on us to stay that way.

If the outcome of a review is new development work, that flows naturally into Backend Development, Cloud & Infrastructure, or whichever of our other services fits what the review found.
