What we do, in full

Each engagement is scoped to one or more of these. If what you need is not listed, ask — it may still be something we do.

Custom software development

Business systems built around how you actually work, not the other way round.

  • Discovery with the people who will use it, before a line is written.
  • Architecture chosen for your team to run, not for our résumé.
  • Delivered in increments you can use, with a demo at the end of each.
  • Handed over with documentation, tests and a walkthrough.

Web applications

Customer portals, dashboards and internal tools, delivered as fast, secure web apps.

  • Modern stacks (React, Next.js, .NET, Node) with server-rendered pages where speed matters.
  • Authentication, roles and audit trails from the first version.
  • Responsive by default: the same app on a phone, a tablet and a desk.
  • Accessibility checked, not assumed.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps, native or cross-platform, from the first screen to the store listing.

  • Cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) when one codebase is the right call; native when it isn't.
  • Offline-first where the app will be used away from a good connection.
  • Push notifications, deep links and app-store submission handled end to end.
  • The backend built alongside, or connected to the one you have.

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure that deploys itself: pipelines, cloud environments, monitoring and cost control.

  • CI/CD pipelines so every change is tested and deployed the same way, every time.
  • Environments described in code (Terraform, Bicep, Docker) and reproducible on demand.
  • Monitoring and alerting that tells you before your customers do.
  • A monthly look at the cloud bill, with recommendations.

Integrations & APIs

Connecting the systems you already have, through APIs that are documented and versioned.

  • ERPs, CRMs, payment providers, messaging gateways, identity providers.
  • Public APIs designed for other people's developers, with documentation they can use.
  • Data migrations planned, rehearsed and verified before the switch-over.
  • Retry, idempotency and reconciliation built in, because networks fail.

Maintenance & support

Keeping what we built, or what you inherited, secure, updated and running.

  • A named contact and an agreed response time.
  • Dependency and security updates applied on a schedule, not when something breaks.
  • Small improvements delivered continuously, without a project around each one.
  • A quarterly review of what to keep, fix or retire.

Consultancy

Independent technical advice when you need a decision made well, not a project started.

  • Architecture and code reviews of what you have, with a written report you can act on or hand to another vendor.
  • Technical due diligence before an acquisition, an investment or a large vendor contract.
  • Roadmaps, build-versus-buy decisions and vendor selection, with the trade-offs laid out plainly.
  • A fractional CTO or technical lead for companies not ready to hire one full time.
