Four engagements. Every one engineered to the same bar.
We don't sell hours or "team augmentation." Every engagement has a written spec, a fixed scope, a founder review, and a runbook on the way out.
SaaS & MVP Development
Production-grade products from zero. Auth, billing, multi-tenant data, observability — wired correctly the first time. We ship the boring parts well so the interesting parts can compound.
- Auth + RBAC (organizations, roles, invites, audit log)
- Multi-tenant Postgres schema with row-level security
- Stripe billing (subscriptions, metering, invoices, dunning)
- Observability baseline (Sentry, OpenTelemetry, structured logs)
- Branch previews + CI gates + automated deploys
Complex Backend & API Architecture
When the integrity of the data is the product. Schema design, queueing, rate-limiting, idempotency, audit trails — all the things that turn a prototype into a system that holds up under load and audit.
- Domain model + ERD reviewed and signed off before code
- Idempotent write paths with retry-safe semantics
- Background jobs + scheduling (Postgres-backed, observable)
- Public API: OpenAPI spec, contract tests, versioning policy
- Audit logs you can defend to a regulator
QA & Reliability Engineering
Most "QA" is theatre — green checkmarks that don't catch real bugs. Our retainer puts a real test pyramid in place, gates CI on it, and budgets perf and error rates. No release without a passing pyramid and a rollback plan.
- Type-checks → unit → integration → contract → e2e pyramid
- Performance budgets enforced in CI (LCP, INP, P95)
- Synthetic monitoring + alert routing + incident playbooks
- Weekly reliability report with regressions, near-misses, fixes
- On-call rotation support if needed
Code Rescue & Growth Engineering
Inheriting a broken codebase, slow shipping, or a stalled launch? We come in, diagnose, stabilize the critical path, then accelerate. No drama, no "rewrite everything" — just the surgical interventions that unblock you.
- 2-week diagnostic: codebase audit, infra audit, risk register
- Stabilize critical paths (checkout, auth, payments, data)
- Replace what's costing you and keep what's working
- Knowledge transfer + paired reviews with your team
- Optional ongoing engagement after stabilization
Not sure which engagement fits? We'll figure it out together.
15 minutes. We'll listen, scope honestly, and tell you if we're not the right fit.
