Built deliberately. Shipped honestly.

Five disciplines, one team. We staff each engagement from senior engineers.

Five disciplines.
One senior team.

Start a project

Application Development & Automation

Full-stack web, mobile, and APIs, plus the automation, tooling, and integrations that quietly run the business between your systems of record.

  • Web platforms
  • Mobile (iOS/Android)
  • REST & GraphQL APIs
  • Workflow automation
  • Internal tooling
  • Data pipelines & integrations

Mainframe Modernization

We translate COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, JCL, Rexx, and AS400 workloads into Java, .NET, and cloud-native runtimes, without losing the business logic that took 30 years to write down.

  • COBOL → Java/.NET
  • AS400 lift-and-shift
  • Domain re-mapping
  • Strangler-fig migrations
  • JCL/Rexx replacement

Cloud & DevOps

AWS and Azure. Kubernetes when it earns its keep, serverless when it doesn't. CI/CD engineers actually use, and FinOps so the bill stops surprising you.

  • AWS & Azure
  • Kubernetes & ECS
  • Serverless (Lambda)
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Observability
  • FinOps

Data & Security

Data platforms that make information usable, and zero-trust security postures that keep it safe. Analytics people actually read instead of dashboard wallpaper.

  • Data platforms
  • Data pipelines
  • Zero-trust security
  • Cybersecurity
  • Enterprise architecture
  • Analytics

AI & Machine Learning

The intelligence layer on the systems we build. LLM and RAG grounded in your data, computer vision and forecasting in production, and the MLOps to keep them honest. AI for operations that can't afford a confident wrong answer.

  • LLM & RAG applications
  • Computer vision
  • Forecasting & ML models
  • AI agents & automation
  • MLOps & evaluation
  • Decision intelligence

Method

  1. 01

    Discover & Define

    Two weeks of stakeholder interviews, code archaeology, and risk mapping. We tell you what we found, including the parts you didn't want to hear.

  2. 02

    Design & Plan

    Domain models, system diagrams, migration sequencing. Estimates with confidence intervals, not a single number pulled from a hat.

  3. 03

    Develop & Implement

    Two-week increments shipped to a real environment. You see progress weekly, not at a milestone gate three months in.

  4. 04

    Deploy & Optimize

    Cutover plans with a rollback path. Post-launch instrumentation. We hand you a system you can operate without us.

Start small.
Scale on proof.

Most engagements open with a focused scope, a discovery sprint or a proof-of-concept, so you can see how we work before committing to the whole thing.

Proof before scale

We'd rather prove it than pitch it. A focused proof-of-concept de-risks the big decision before you commit to it.

Senior team, no handoff

The people who scope your project build it. No junior rotation, no handoff, no telephone game.

Fixed scope, honest estimates

Every engagement is scoped and priced for what it actually is: estimates with confidence intervals, not a number pulled from a hat.

You own it at the end

We hand off a system your team can run without us, instrumented, documented, and yours.
