The Team
People
A small, senior team. The people you meet are the people who do the work.
The Relationship
Partners, not vendors
We take on a small number of engagements so each one gets our full attention. The companies we work with stay with us — because the work is honest, the communication is constant, and the engineering speaks for itself.
Let’s build something
Tell us about the problem worth solving. We’ll tell you, honestly, how we can help.
Services
How we work together
After a free assessment we recommend one of three engagement tiers — matched to the stage, scope, and stakes of your project.
Pro-bono
Pro-bono Service
Selected mission-driven, student, and early-stage efforts we take on at no cost — because the work matters and the potential is real. We invest our time where a little senior engineering goes a long way, the same spirit behind our mentorship and internship programs.
Nonprofits · students · high-impact early ideas
Pay as you go
Hourly Service
Senior engineering on demand, billed by the hour. Ideal for advisory work, focused builds, code review, architecture guidance, or augmenting your team for a stretch — flexible scope with no long-term commitment, so you only pay for what you need.
Advisory · focused builds · team augmentation
End to end
Project Support Service
A defined engagement with a scoped plan, timeline, and budget agreed up front. We own delivery from architecture through launch — and stay on for the ongoing support that keeps it healthy. Best for products where you want a partner accountable for the outcome.
