Custom software,
built the way it should be.
We build production software for companies whose operations don't fit off-the-shelf tools. Bespoke internal systems, data platforms, and line-of-business apps — engineered to last.
Operations, finance, and product leaders at established companies — the people who know the problem exactly, but need a serious engineering team to make it real.
There are plenty of people who can ship a prototype. We're who you call when it has to survive production.
Internal platforms
Operations tools, admin consoles, workflow engines. The software your team uses every day to run the business — built around how you actually work, not how the SaaS vendor thinks you should.
Data & integrations
Pipelines that move data between the systems you already have. ETLs, APIs, sync layers, reporting surfaces. Built to be boring, observable, and correct.
Product engineering
Customer-facing applications with real uptime, real auth, real observability. When a prototype needs to become something your customers can rely on.
A small team, the full distance.
We don't hand work off between designers, juniors, and account managers. The people who scope the project are the ones who write the code and own the outcome.
Discovery
Week 0Two calls, sometimes three. We learn the business, the constraints, the existing stack. You get a written scope with an honest cost and timeline — or an honest "this isn't the right fit for us" and a referral.
Foundations
Week 1–2Architecture, data model, deployment pipeline. We build the thin slice that proves the shape is right. You see running code, not slides.
Weekly increments
OngoingEvery week ends with something deployed. Short written update, short loom, working URL. No surprise invoices, no surprise delays — and if something is off-track, you hear it from us first.
Yours to keep
HandoverYour repo, your cloud, your domain. Full documentation, onboarding for your team. We stay on retainer if you want ongoing work, but you're never locked in.
What we believe, and what it means for your project.
Boring is a feature
We choose proven stacks. Postgres, not the latest database. Server-rendered when it can be. Your software should still run, unchanged, in five years.
Ship weekly, ship small
Big-bang releases hide risk. Short increments expose it. You see progress every week, and course-correct before it's expensive.
Own the whole stack
We write the app, the infrastructure, the migrations, the observability. One team, one set of tradeoffs, one person to call when something breaks.
No lock-in, ever
Your code, your cloud, your domain. We write for the next engineer — yours or ours — to pick up without a tour guide.
Two ways to start.
A defined project, shipped
You know what you need. We scope it, price it, and deliver it — typically 6 to 14 weeks end-to-end. One price, one timeline, no hourly creep.
- Written spec & fixed fee
- Weekly demos
- Full handover + 30 days support
An embedded team, monthly
You have ongoing work — a roadmap, not a single project. We become the engineering function for that scope, with predictable capacity and no per-ticket haggling.
- Dedicated hours per week
- Direct Slack / calls
- Rolling monthly terms
Tell us what's not working.
A paragraph is enough. We reply within a business day with either a call invite or an honest “not for us” and a referral to someone better suited.
