What we do

We keep the team small and the outcomes big. Drop us into a complex problem—architecture, security, or delivery—and we’ll leave your people stronger than we found them.

Architecture & Design

System design, domain modeling, cloud architecture, performance and cost optimization. Clear diagrams, pragmatic patterns.

Hands‑on Engineering

Senior engineers who code. Short‑term delivery sprints, refactors, integrations, and instrumentation with real momentum.

Security Reviews

Threat modeling, secure‑by‑default patterns, code & cloud posture reviews, and practical remediation plans.

Training

Workshops on architecture fundamentals, defensive engineering, and incident‑ready operations. Built for busy teams.

Observability

Tracing, metrics, logs. We wire up actionable telemetry so you can see production clearly—and sleep better.

Audits

Independent assessments of systems, vendors, and processes with crisp reports and prioritized actions.

Recent outcomes

Names withheld by NDA. The results speak for themselves.

Financial Services

Cut cloud spend by 42%

Re‑architected ingestion pipelines, right‑sized databases, and implemented autoscaling with SLOs.

E‑commerce

Checkout latency ↓ 65%

Introduced caching & idempotent APIs; added distributed tracing to burn down hotspots.

SaaS Platform

Security posture uplift

Threat modeling, defense‑in‑depth review, and rollout of secret hygiene playbooks.

How we work

Fast to start. Low friction. Clear impact.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    90‑minute deep dive to map goals, risks, and constraints. We outline a punchy plan.

  2. 02

    Delivery Sprint

    1–4 weeks of focused architecture and hands‑on engineering with daily progress.

  3. 03

    Debrief & Next Steps

    We hand over clear docs, diagrams, and a prioritized backlog your team can run with.

Training & Security Audits

We run practical workshops and independent audits. Your team leaves with habits that stick and a roadmap that actually gets done.

  • Architecture fundamentals for real‑world teams
  • Secure development practices & threat modeling
  • Cloud posture reviews (Azure & AWS)
  • Observability: tracing, metrics, logs that matter

A senior strike team

We keep our core team intentionally small (3 senior engineers) and collaborate with trusted specialists. You get direct access to the people doing the work—no telephone game.

We’ve spent years in the trenches across finance, retail, manufacturing, and SaaS. We know how to ship value quickly and safely.

Core capabilities

  • .NET 8/9/10, Node, Python
  • Azure, AWS, Kubernetes
  • Event‑driven & distributed systems
  • Data ingestion & streaming
  • Identity, secrets, and zero‑trust
  • Instrumentation & tracing
