Service 01

Custom software development

Systems designed around a specific process rather than adapted from a generic product.

We start from the work the organisation actually performs: the records it keeps, the decisions it makes, and the rules that govern them. Those rules become an explicit domain model with enforced invariants, so invalid states cannot be stored. Implementation proceeds in deployable increments, each one reviewed against the agreed model.

Typical scope

• Domain modelling
• Service and API design
• Business rule implementation
• Automated test suites

Service 02

Web application development

Interfaces that stay fast, accessible, and predictable as functionality accumulates.

Applications are built with server-rendered delivery where first-load speed and indexability matter, and with client-side interaction where the task requires it. Component structure follows a documented design system, and accessibility criteria — semantic structure, keyboard operation, contrast, focus visibility — are treated as functional requirements rather than a later audit.

Typical scope

• Component and design systems
• Server-side rendering
• Accessibility compliance
• Performance budgets

Service 03

Cloud architecture

Environment design that keeps scaling, isolation, and cost under deliberate control.

We define network topology, compute allocation, storage tiering, and identity boundaries as one connected decision. Environments are described in code so they can be recreated, compared, and audited. Cost behaviour is modelled during design, which makes the financial effect of a scaling decision visible before it is deployed.

Typical scope

• Network and identity design
• Compute and storage strategy
• Multi-environment setup
• Cost modelling

Service 04

System integration

Reliable connections between internal systems and third-party services.

Integrations are built contract-first, with schemas validated at the boundary and every exchange logged for reconstruction. Failure handling — retries with backoff, idempotency keys, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation jobs — is specified as part of the design, so partial failures resolve without manual data repair.

Typical scope

• API and event contracts
• Message queues and brokers
• Idempotency and retries
• Reconciliation logic

Service 05

Cybersecurity engineering

Security implemented in the architecture rather than added at the perimeter.

Work begins with a threat model for the specific system: who the actors are, what they can reach, and what damage a compromise causes. From that we implement authentication and authorisation, secrets management with rotation, network segmentation, dependency scanning, and audit logging designed for investigation.

Typical scope

• Threat modelling
• Access control and roles
• Secrets management
• Hardening and audit logging

Service 06

Data platforms and analytics

Pipelines and models where every reported figure can be traced to its source.

Ingestion, transformation, and serving layers are separated, versioned, and tested. Schemas are declared, transformations are deterministic, and data quality checks fail loudly rather than silently degrade a dashboard. Lineage is recorded so that a number in a report can be followed back through each transformation to the originating event.

Typical scope

• Batch and streaming ingestion
• Warehouse modelling
• Data quality checks
• Lineage and documentation

Service 07

DevOps and infrastructure

Reproducible environments and delivery pipelines that make releases routine.

Infrastructure is defined as code, reviewed like application code, and applied through pipelines rather than consoles. Delivery includes automated testing, artefact traceability, staged rollout, and a rehearsed rollback path. Observability — metrics, structured logs, traces, and alerts with agreed thresholds — is part of the same pipeline.

Typical scope

• Infrastructure as code
• CI/CD pipelines
• Container orchestration
• Monitoring and alerting

Service 08

Technical consulting

Independent assessment of architecture, technology choices, and delivery capacity.

We review an existing system and report what we find: structural risks, operational gaps, security exposure, and the cost of each option for addressing them. Deliverables are written documents with concrete recommendations and their trade-offs, usable by both engineering and management readers.

Typical scope

• Architecture review
• Technology assessment
• Risk and gap analysis
• Delivery planning

Service 09

Software modernisation

Incremental replacement of legacy components while the system stays in service.

Rewrites that stop the business are avoided. Instead, boundaries are drawn inside the legacy system, traffic is routed through a controlled layer, and components are replaced one at a time with parallel verification. Data migrations are written to be repeatable and reversible wherever the model allows.

Typical scope

• Dependency mapping
• Strangler-pattern migration
• Data migration
• Parallel-run verification

Service 10

Ongoing technical support

Maintenance and controlled evolution after the first release.

Support covers dependency and platform updates, monitoring review, incident response with written follow-up, capacity planning, and a steady stream of small improvements. The objective is that the client's own team can operate the system, with our involvement reducing over time rather than becoming permanent.

Typical scope

• Patching and updates
• Incident response
• Capacity review
• Knowledge transfer
