Senior Thinking.
Without the Bloat.
Backend architecture, frontend delivery, and technical advisory for small and medium businesses that need senior engineering without a full-time hire. We embed in your workflow, review your systems, and deliver code that holds.
Engineering That
Ages Well.
Most SMBs do not need a full-time senior engineer. They need one badly — for a few months to set the architecture right, review what the team has built, and make the key technical decisions that will matter in two years.
That is what we are. Senior engineering thinking, embedded in your workflow, without the overhead of a full-time hire. We work in Go and Node.js on the backend, React and Next.js on the frontend, and bring the same production standards to every engagement.
We do not parachute in, write some code, and leave. We stay long enough to make sure what we built holds — and that your team understands it well enough to maintain it.
Senior Engineering.
Done Properly.
Backend Architecture
System design, API architecture, database schema design, and service decomposition. We make the decisions that are hard to undo later — and we make them correctly the first time.
Frontend Development
Production-grade React and Next.js applications. Component architecture, state management, performance optimisation, and accessibility — built to scale without a rewrite in six months.
API Design & Development
RESTful and GraphQL APIs designed for longevity. Versioning strategy, authentication, rate limiting, documentation, and integration patterns that do not create problems for the next engineer.
Technical Architecture Review
A thorough review of your existing codebase, architecture, and infrastructure. We identify the real risks, the hidden technical debt, and the changes that will matter most in the next 12 months.
DevOps & Infrastructure
Docker containerisation, CI/CD pipeline setup, environment configuration, and deployment automation. We set up the infrastructure so your team can ship confidently without manual steps.
Ongoing Technical Advisory
Regular technical guidance for founders and product teams who need a senior engineer in their corner — without the full-time salary. Technology decisions, hiring briefs, vendor evaluation, and code direction.
Our Approach
How We
Consult.
We do not arrive with a framework. We arrive with questions. What is the system trying to do? Where is it failing? What does the team already know?
Only once we understand the context do we recommend anything.
Systems & Codebase Review
We start by understanding what exists. Codebase review, architecture assessment, infrastructure audit. We document what is working, what is not, and what will break under scale.
Technical Roadmap & Prioritisation
We produce a clear technical roadmap — what to fix first, what to build next, and what to leave alone. Prioritised by business impact, not engineering preference.
Embedded Delivery
We do not just advise. We build. Working alongside your team or independently, we deliver production-ready code with documentation, tests, and clear handoff so nothing lives only in our heads.
Knowledge Transfer & Handoff
Before we leave, we make sure your team owns what we built. Walkthrough sessions, documentation, and architecture diagrams. The goal is a team that does not need us anymore — and knows how to maintain what we built.
What We
Work With.
For Teams That
Need Senior Help.
Startups that need architecture done right
You are moving fast but you want to move fast without creating technical debt that will cost you ten times more to fix in 18 months. You need someone who has made these decisions before.
SMBs with junior teams
Your developers are capable but junior. You need a senior engineer to set the standards, review the work, make the architectural calls, and mentor the team without replacing them.
Teams inheriting a messy codebase
You have taken over a system you did not build. It works but nobody fully understands it and everyone is afraid to touch it. You need a clear picture of what is there and a plan to improve it safely.
Founders making technical decisions
You are non-technical or early in your technical journey and you are making technology decisions that will matter for years. You need honest guidance from someone with no incentive to oversell.
Work With Us
Your Way.
Project Based
A defined scope, a fixed price. Best for specific deliverables — a backend service, a frontend application, an API, a technical audit. You know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before we start.
- Technical scoping document upfront
- Fixed price and delivery timeline
- Code review and testing included
- Full handoff with documentation
Monthly Retainer
Most PopularOngoing senior engineering support on a monthly basis. Best for teams that need continuous delivery, regular code reviews, architectural guidance, and a senior engineer available when decisions need to be made.
- Dedicated hours each month
- Priority response time
- Backend and frontend covered
- Monthly planning and technical review
Advisory Call
A single focused session for teams that need expert input on a specific technical decision, architecture question, or codebase review. Clear, honest recommendations with no ongoing commitment required.
- 60 or 90 minute session
- Written summary after the call
- Technical recommendations included
- No commitment to continue
