Boutique engineering for complex systems

Engineering for complex products and risk-sensitive technical decisions.

We support founders and technical leaders with feasibility work, architecture, and end-to-end delivery—particularly where constraints, integrations, security, and reliability are decisive.

R&D → Prototype

De-risk before you commit.

Architecture

Make decisions that scale.

Implementation

Build what matters first.

Operational support

Stabilize and evolve.

Clarity under uncertainty.

We’re engaged when the path forward needs validation—technically, operationally, and commercially—whether early, before major commitments are made, or later when an existing system needs to be stabilised, understood, and corrected.

Exploratory R&D and feasibility

When you need evidence before committing scope, timeline, or implementation approach.

Complex architecture and integrations

When reliability, maintainability, and compatibility with existing systems are non-negotiable.

Production readiness and launch risk

When performance, stability, and operational readiness must be designed and validated early.

Security and assurance

When data access, identity, and operational integrity require a deliberate design and review.

Typical entry points include feasibility work, an architecture review, a prototype build, or a focused delivery phase.

Approach

Structured, calm execution.

Clear phases, defined ownership, and fewer surprises.

Engagements begin with a focused feasibility or architecture phase, before any delivery is considered.
You’ll speak directly with the engineers doing the work.

We work with early-stage teams, scale-ups, and small organisations where technical decisions have long-term impact.

01

Understand the problem

Align on constraints, stakeholders, success criteria, and non-negotiables.

02

Reduce uncertainty

Validate assumptions through feasibility work, targeted prototyping, and technical analysis.

03

Design the system

Define architecture, responsibilities, and interfaces that support long-term maintainability.

04

Implement with intent

Deliver the smallest complete system that meets requirements and avoids unnecessary scope.

05

Support launch and evolution

Ensure operational readiness, stabilization, and a clear path forward post-delivery.

Remote-first by default. On-site by arrangement.

Technical scope

Wide capability. Narrow intent.

We keep scope tight and outcome-driven — capability breadth exists to remove constraints, not add complexity.

Product & system architecture

System architecture, APIs, distributed components, and operational readiness.

Web & mobile implementation

Web and mobile implementation with a focus on performance, maintainability, and long-term ownership.

AI & intelligent automation

Applied machine learning and automation, including LLM integrations where they provide measurable value.

Real-time & connected systems

Real-time communication, device integrations, and connected systems with reliability constraints.

Distributed ledger systems

Smart contracts, audits, wallets, and verification use cases where decentralization is a concrete requirement.

Product design and UI systems

UX and UI systems, prototyping, and design support used to reduce rework and speed technical alignment.

Experience across early-stage products, regulated environments, and production systems — references available on request.

Contact

Get in touch.

If you’re dealing with a complex product or technical decision, we’re open to an initial discussion to assess fit and next steps.

When it makes sense to reach out

Typical entry points include feasibility work, architecture reviews, or a focused delivery phase where technical decisions materially affect outcomes.

We work primarily with EU-based clients. Engagements are remote-first, with on-site work by arrangement.

We focus on situations where we can add material value, and we’ll be direct early if it’s not a fit.

All work is led and delivered by senior engineers with 12+ years of production experience.
