Build the system. Engineer-shipped, end to end.
Web apps, platforms, data pipelines, infra. Designed and built by senior engineers. Production-ready on day one. Fast to iterate. Boring to maintain. Won’t need rescuing later.
Senior engineers for the AI era.
We build new products — and rescue code.
We ship your MVP in three weeks at a published price — and come in when the AI-written stack won’t hold or the team needs an adult in the room.

Your MVP, live in 3 weeks — $9,500 fixed.
One named senior engineer builds it. Senior peers review it. You own every line.
Bigger than a fixed package? Same five questions — you get a straight custom quote instead.
- The build Production web app — up to 5 core features, user accounts + admin, up to 3 integrations (Stripe, email, AI APIs).
- The substance Security done right, senior peer review, real production setup — CI, staging, monitoring. By the team that audits AI-written code for a living.
- The process Scope locked in writing by day 3. Live demo every week. Milestones 30/40/30. 30 days post-launch support.
- The honest line We build with the same AI tools the no-code builders use — supervised by the people who fix what unsupervised AI breaks.
Know what’s broken — and what it costs to fix.
One senior engineer reads your codebase end-to-end and delivers a report you can act on.
Rather talk it through first? Start the conversation.
- Report 20–25 page written report — security, architecture, production-readiness, AI-tool fingerprint.
- Effort per finding Every finding comes with effort in engineer-days. Not just severity — what it actually costs to fix.
- Rescue quote Fixed-price quote for the rescue project, baked into the deliverable. The audit is a decision tool.
- Walkthrough 60-minute live walkthrough call. Go through every finding, ask anything, leave with a plan.
Four shapes we see every week.
If any of these sound like you, we already know the shape of the problem.
-
01
The founder who shipped on the cheap — and now it’s breaking under real users.
-
02
The team that vibe-coded the whole stack — and can’t untangle it without an actual engineer.
-
03
The team adopting AI across engineering — and wants an operator in the room while they do it.
-
04
The startup that needs an embedded engineering partner — not another contractor who disappears at handoff.
Pick a play. Or call and describe the fire — we’ll know the shape of it.
Untangle the stack an AI wrote.
Changing anything breaks three other things. We read the whole thing, map the mess, and cut a path forward that a human can maintain without the agent holding the pen.
Fix the broken dev loop.
CI that drags, deploys that wobble, infra nobody wants to touch. We find the cost per week and remove it. Then we write down what changed so the next engineer doesn’t re-break it.
Stand up AI pipelines, under supervision.
Agents, coding copilots, CI/CD with AI in the loop — set up by people who shipped before AI existed. You get the speed without inheriting the aftermath.
Rescue the dev team.
Lead quit. Juniors are over their head. Nobody knows what prod is actually doing. We pair, mentor, and put the steering wheel back in someone’s hands — yours, not ours.
Rebuild tracking that doesn’t lie.
Half-broken tracking costs more than missing tracking. We rebuild it — events, funnels, dashboards — so the numbers you argue about are the numbers you have.

Pick the shape that fits.
A play tells us what to fix. The shape tells us how we sit alongside you while we fix it.
Project
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed ship date. Done, documented, out. Good for the specific fire.
Retainer
Reserved senior hours per month. Anything on the list above — or whatever surfaces. No ticket queue, no round-robin.
Embedded partner
A senior engineer sitting inside your team for the quarter. Reports like staff. Leaves behind a team that can do it without us.
Not our first rodeo. Not even our tenth.

Juniors on the account
- We read the code before we quote a number.
- No hand-offs at milestone — we stay until your team can run it.
- We push back. You don’t hire us to nod.
- We fix root causes. Not symptoms.
- Every number we claim, we can point to.
- Every engagement ends with a “what next” conversation, not a disappearing act.
Five names. All senior.
Not a roster we assembled. A team we built.

Tell us what’s broken.
We’ll tell you if we can help.
30 minutes, no pitch. Come with a problem — we’ll come with questions, and an honest answer on whether we’re the right team for it.
