Software development

Systems that hold up after the launch week

We take a product from requirement to running system — interface, API, data and deployment — and stay on for the changes that follow.

Capabilities

What the work covers

Most engagements use several of these. Very few need all of them at once, and we will say which ones yours does not.

  • Product and interface

    Screens, flows and states worked out before the build starts, so the front end is designed rather than assembled from components as it goes.

    React · Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS

  • APIs and services

    Typed, versioned REST contracts with authentication, validation and error handling designed in — not retrofitted after the first integration breaks.

    Java · Spring Boot · Node.js · Python

  • Data

    Schema design, indexing and migration paths. We model the data before writing the endpoints, which is usually what saves the rewrite later.

    PostgreSQL · MySQL · MongoDB · Redis

  • Mobile

    One codebase across iOS and Android, sharing the same API layer as the web product rather than duplicating business logic.

    Flutter · React Native

  • Cloud and delivery

    Containerised deployments, environment parity and a pipeline that anyone on your team can run. Infrastructure lives in your account, not ours.

    AWS · Azure · Google Cloud · Docker · CI/CD

  • After launch

    Monitoring, fixes and the next round of changes. Handover includes documentation and access, so you are never locked to us.

Approach

How we decide what to build

Three positions that shape most of the technical calls we make.

  • Scale when there is something to scale

    We do not open with microservices and a service mesh. Most products are better served by one well-structured application, with clear seams so services can be split out when traffic or team size actually demands it.

  • Boring infrastructure on purpose

    Managed databases, container images, a CI pipeline and a CDN in front. Predictable, debuggable at 2am, and hireable for — which matters more than novelty once we hand it over.

  • Written down, not just built

    Scope, architecture decisions and runbooks are documented as we go. When you bring in another team later, they should not have to reverse-engineer our reasoning.

Stack

Mainstream tools, chosen on purpose

We work in stacks with long support horizons and deep hiring pools, so your system stays maintainable after we hand it over.

How we work

A delivery process with no surprises in it

Same five stages on every engagement, whether it is a two-week build or a six-month platform.

  1. Discovery

    A call to understand the problem, the users and the constraints you are working within — budget, timeline, existing systems.

  2. Scope and estimate

    We write down what will be built, in what order, and what it costs. You approve the scope before any code is written.

  3. Design and build

    Interface and architecture in parallel, shipped in reviewable increments so you see working software early rather than at the end.

  4. Review and launch

    Testing, fixes from your feedback, then deployment to your cloud account with the pipeline and documentation handed over.

  5. Support

    Post-launch changes, monitoring and fixes. You keep talking to the engineers who built it.

Details

Working with us

The questions that come up on almost every first call.

How do you price a project?

We scope the work into stages and quote per stage, so you can stop, change direction or extend after any one of them. For longer engagements we also work on a monthly retainer.

Can you work with our existing codebase?

Yes. A fair amount of our work is taking over or extending systems someone else built. We start with a review of the code, the data model and the deployment setup before committing to a plan.

Who owns the code and the infrastructure?

You do. Code is delivered into your repository and deployed to your own cloud account from the first stage, not migrated across at the end.

What happens after launch?

We stay on for changes, monitoring and fixes for as long as it is useful. If you would rather take it in-house, we hand over documentation and walk your team through the system.

Have something to build?

Send over what you are working on. We will tell you what it would take, and whether we are the right team for it.
