What we build,
architect & deliver

Senior-level cloud, AI, and software engineering expertise — without the full-time overhead or agency markup.

01
Cloud Infrastructure

Scalable, resilient cloud architectures on AWS and GCP. From serverless functions to container orchestration to full Infrastructure as Code — optimized for performance, reliability, and cost from the first commit. Designed to handle GA-level load without rearchitecting six months later.

02
AI Integration

Agentic AI systems, LLM pipelines, and AI-powered automation built for real production environments — not demos. Whether you need a custom agent framework, a RAG pipeline, or autonomous workflows, the result runs reliably at scale and integrates cleanly with your existing infrastructure.

03
Software Engineering
</>

Full-stack TypeScript development with modern frameworks, clean API design, and best practices throughout. Code that reads well, tests well, and scales with your product ambitions. From greenfield builds to legacy modernization — maintainability is a first-class constraint, not an afterthought.

Compliance & Security

SOC2 Type II compliance, security best practices, and governance frameworks that unlock enterprise sales. The compliance work that enables a $200K ACV customer is fundamentally different from checkbox compliance — it's a product decision. Designed to be completed without derailing product velocity.

How we work together

Three engagement structures built around your stage and needs — no retainer lock-ins you don't want.

01 — Project-based
Fixed scope delivery

Defined deliverable, timeline, and outcome. Best when you know exactly what needs to be built or fixed and need it done by a specific date.

  • Scoped statement of work
  • Milestone-based check-ins
  • IP ownership to client on delivery
  • Best for: architecture, migrations, builds
02 — Retainer
Ongoing partnership

A set number of hours per month — predictable, prioritized, and always available. Best for teams that need a senior technical resource on call.

  • Monthly hours commitment
  • Priority response SLA
  • Flexible across services
  • Best for: scaling teams, ongoing infra
03 — Technical advisory
Strategy & oversight

Fractional engineering leadership for product and technical strategy. Architecture reviews, team guidance, vendor evaluation — senior judgment when you need it.

  • Bi-weekly strategy sessions
  • Architecture decision reviews
  • Async availability for team Q&A
  • Best for: CTOs, founding engineers

How every engagement runs

01
Discovery

Understand the system, the constraints, and what success actually looks like.

02
Architecture

Design the approach. ADRs, diagrams, trade-offs documented before a line is written.

03
Build

Sprint-based execution. Async-first communication, PR reviews, working software.

04
Harden

Tests, observability, security checks, load testing. Production-readiness is mandatory.

05
Hand-off

Runbooks, documentation, knowledge transfer. No black boxes left behind.
