Your technical co-founder for hire.
Senior product engineering for startups and scaling teams. We own your product end to end: architecture, backend, infrastructure, delivery.
Cheap agencies give you junior developers behind a brand name. You get code, but not ownership. Decisions get deferred, architecture gets shaky, and six months in you're managing the team instead of building your business.
We work differently. The senior engineer who scopes your project is the one who builds it. One person, full context, full accountability, like having a technical co-founder without the equity conversation.
Who we work with
Founders building v1
You know what you want to exist. We figure out how to build it and make it real.
Product teams shipping new surfaces
You need senior engineering capacity without a six-month hiring process. We plug in, ship, and transfer knowledge.
Companies modernising legacy systems
You need to migrate without a risky rewrite. We've done it in production, with near-zero downtime.
What we build
Product Engineering
From blank repo to production. APIs, data systems, backend logic, and enough frontend to ship. We've taken an ad platform from MVP to scaled production and built marketplace backends handling 500K+ listings.
Backend Systems & Integrations
APIs, data pipelines, multi-provider integrations, and the infrastructure your product runs on. Designed to be maintainable and scalable, not just functional today, but durable under growth.
System Modernisation
Monolith to microservices. VMs to managed cloud. Legacy PHP to domain-oriented Node.js services. We de-risk the transition so you get modern infrastructure without the rewrite gamble.
Fractional Engineering
For product teams that need a senior engineer embedded in their workflow, contributing to architecture decisions, shipping features, raising the quality bar. We've done this as the technical owner on a product team, not as a contractor filling a seat.
How we work
Three steps. No fluff.
Scope
We define the problem, the architecture, and the deliverables before writing code. You know what you're getting and what it costs.
Build
The senior engineer builds it. Modern tooling, including AI, keeps the throughput high. Every decision is owned by a human. You see progress weekly.
Own
We don't disappear after launch. We support what we build, monitor production, and iterate as your product evolves.
Why not a cheap agency?
You get the senior engineer, not the sales deck. At agencies, the experienced person sells the project. Juniors build it. Here, the person you talk to is the person who architects and ships your product.
One senior engineer > five juniors without context. Modern tooling means a senior engineer can move fast on the work that scales: boilerplate, tests, documentation, exploration. The decisions that matter : architecture, trade-offs, production reliability, stay human.
Ownership, not deliverables. Agencies deliver tickets. We own outcomes. If the architecture isn't right, we fix it. If the system breaks, we're accountable. No finger-pointing, no change orders for things we should have caught.
Tell us what you're building.
We take on a small number of engagements at a time. If you're building a product, modernising a system, or need senior engineering capacity, let's talk.
