IT Consulting
We come in when a system is slow, expensive, or fragile and the team is too close to it to see why. You get a written diagnosis and a plan you can execute — not a slide deck we present once and disappear.
Problems we solve
You probably recognise at least one of these.
The roadmap keeps slipping
Every quarter ends with less shipped than planned, and no one can point to where the engineering time actually went.
Nobody can explain the architecture
The one engineer who held the whole system in their head has left, and the diagram on the wiki is two years stale.
Cloud spend grows faster than usage
The bill doubled while traffic stayed flat, and finance is asking a question no one on the team can answer yet.
A rewrite is on the table
Someone proposed rebuilding from scratch. You need an outside read on whether that is brave or a mistake before you commit a year to it.
What you get
Concrete deliverables, not a statement of intent.
Architecture review
A written assessment of how your system actually runs: data flow, failure modes, and the three changes that would matter most.
Technology decision records
Short documents that capture each major choice and its tradeoffs, so your next hire understands why the system is the way it is.
Prioritized roadmap
A sequenced plan with rough effort estimates, ordered by risk and payoff. Not a wish list.
Build-vs-buy analysis
Honest math on whether to write it, license it, or leave it alone — with the real cost of each on the table.
Team and hiring advice
What roles to hire next, what to keep in-house, and what is safe to contract out.
A working session, not just a report
We walk your team through the findings live and answer the follow-up questions, because a PDF alone rarely changes anything.
How it works
A short, sequenced engagement.
- 01
Listen
One to two weeks of interviews with engineers, product, and whoever pays the bills. We read the code and the incident history alongside the conversations.
- 02
Diagnose
We map the system as it actually behaves, not as the diagram claims, and rank the problems by what they cost you in money and time.
- 03
Recommend
You get a written report and a live working session — findings, options, and a sequenced plan you own.
- 04
Support
We stay reachable while you execute and review the first changes before they reach production.
Tech stack
Tools we reach for — chosen per project, never for their own sake.
- AWS
- GCP
- Azure
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- PostgreSQL
