01 · Senior engineering, when you need it

We build software for small teams with big ideas.

A small consultancy with staff-level depth, focused on a handful of clients at a time.

Senior judgment, and the hands to act on it.

Some teams need an architecture call made well. Some need a real build shipped on a deadline. Some need a site that feels custom without a custom budget. We take a few at a time and stay close to each one.

  • a. Founders building without a senior engineer in the room, against a real deadline.
  • b. Teams checking the plan before they build. Architecture, API design, hiring.
  • c. Mission‑aligned organizations. Regenerative economy, climate tech, environmental and social nonprofits, peer homesteads.
  • d. Solo professionals and small businesses who want a site that feels theirs.

Three ways to work with us.

Each engagement is scoped to the problem in front of you. We start with a call, agree on shape and price, and begin.

S/01

Technical advisory

A few hours a week, one to three months. For when the call is worth a senior voice.

For example
  • Reviewing an architecture before you commit to it.
  • Designing an API surface a team will live with for years.
  • Evaluating senior engineering candidates.
  • Untangling a scaling or reliability problem.
  • Acting as a fractional senior voice in technical decisions.

S/02

Build engagements

Longer, project‑based work. We take a defined project from plan to production, for small teams on a real deadline.

For example
  • A backend and SDK built from scratch.
  • An integration with AI and agentic tooling.
  • A data pipeline.
  • A migration a team can’t staff: REST to GraphQL, monolith to services, chain integrations.
  • Taking a prototype to production.
Shape Project‑based · defined scope · shipped
S/03

Websites & presence

Custom‑feeling sites for solo professionals, small businesses, and indie founders, without the cost of a bespoke build.

For example
  • A portfolio or booking site for a solo professional.
  • A marketing site for a small business.
  • A landing page for a launch.
Shape Fixed price · optional maintenance

If your problem doesn’t match a shape above, that’s a fine reason to write.

A working stack, built on resilient and fault‑tolerant systems.
