A business platform
A customer-facing site or application, scoped in phases over four to ten weeks.
Practice 01 ยท Software engineering
Software engineering that survives production.
We design, build and maintain the software a business runs on: platforms, internal tools, integrations and automations.
What we do
In this practice.
- Business websites and web platforms
- Internal tools and dashboards
- APIs and backends
- Integrations and workflow automation
- Modernization of legacy systems
- Maintenance and reliability work
- Open source contributions and tooling
- Digital strategy and long horizon operations
- Computing and engineering support for research projects
This list is a sample, not a limit. If your task lives in software, we scope it.
How we approach it
Working principles.
01
Production first
We ship what can be operated, monitored and maintained. Demos are not deliverables.
02
Documented
Code, decisions and access are documented before handover.
03
Direct
You talk to the engineers building the system, not to a layer of account managers.
Typical engagements
Ways this usually starts.
An internal tool
A focused tool that removes manual work, usually two to six weeks.
Rescue and maintenance
We take over a system that stopped moving: stabilize, document, then improve.
Deliverables
What you get.
- Source code in a repository you control.
- Architecture and setup documentation.
- Deployment and environment configuration.
- A handover walkthrough with your team.
- A defect window as defined in the statement of work.
Inputs
What we need from you.
- The business goal and who will use the software.
- Existing systems, data and integrations involved.
- Access to environments when the build starts.
- One decision-maker on your side.
Process
How it runs.
01
Discovery and architecture
We map the goal, the constraints and the shape of the system before writing code.
02
Weekly increments
Working software every week, reviewed with you.
03
Hardening
Tests, error handling and security checks before launch.
04
Documentation and handover
Setup guides, credentials and a walkthrough.
05
Optional maintenance
Monitoring, updates and improvements under a monthly engagement.
