Fractional infrastructure engineering, technical leadership, and code audits — without the up-front cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Bring senior engineering judgment to whatever stage your team is at.
Independent. Senior. Calibrated to your stage.
What we do
Ten ways to put experienced engineering judgment behind whatever you're building right now — pick the one that fits.
Integrate DevOps practices, infrastructure optimization, and SRE expertise for scalability and reliability — without the up-front cost and commitment of a full-time engineer.
Accelerate your engineering team with ongoing oversight, guidance, and regular reviews of application and infrastructure architecture.
A short-term emergency replacement for your technical leadership in order to maintain engineering velocity during an unexpected vacancy.
Ensure your software investments are sound with our thorough application review and due-diligence process.
Benefit from the power of generative AI by integrating AI tools into your existing workflows.
Optimize your application's performance and identify bottlenecks with our in-depth performance review.
Elevate early and experimental applications into robust, production-ready systems designed to meet enterprise demands.
Work with your team to modernize your legacy applications and reduce ongoing costs.
Get a third-party review of your infrastructure design and cost.
Integrate cutting-edge generative AI functionality into your existing applications without sacrificing your existing product roadmap.
How we work
Every engagement is shaped to the problem in front of us. The shape below is what most of them look like.
We start with a focused conversation about where you are, what's hurting, and what 'good' looks like for your team. No templated discovery, no fishing for billable hours.
We propose a clear engagement — fractional, project-based, or short-burst — with the deliverables, timeline, and decision points written down before anyone signs.
We embed with your team or operate independently, depending on what the problem needs. Senior engineers, calibrated to your codebase, with bias toward shipping.
Every engagement ends with documentation and knowledge transfer your team actually uses. We're successful when you don't need us in the room anymore.
Capabilities
Go, ConnectRPC, gRPC, REST. Production-grade APIs that age well.
AWS, GCP, and Cloudflare. IaC with Terraform, deployed by hand or by pipeline.
Postgres, Temporal, event-driven workloads. Schemas that survive contact with users.
CI/CD, observability, on-call hygiene. Less heroics, more boring reliability.
LLM integrations, agent tooling, evaluations. Useful AI features, not demos.
Code review, threat modeling, third-party due diligence for your investments.
Engagements
We're a small studio and most of our work is under NDA. Here are representative engagement shapes — replace with named case studies once clients are ready to be referenced publicly.
Fractional infrastructure lead during a six-month scale-up. Hardened CI/CD, set up observability and on-call, and migrated a legacy deployment pipeline to Terraform-driven infrastructure.
Engagement shape — replace with a named case study before launch.
Turned a working AI-assisted prototype into a deployable, testable, and observable application. Documentation handed off so the founding team could ship features without us in the room.
Engagement shape — replace with a named case study before launch.
Independent technical due-diligence for an institutional investor. Delivered a written report covering code quality, infrastructure posture, security exposure, and team operating maturity.
Engagement shape — replace with a named case study before launch.
