Engineering for serious software
Software architecture and engineering for companies that cannot afford to get it wrong.
We partner with venture-backed startups, growth-stage businesses, and the firms that fund them. Architecture, hands-on engineering, and platform work — at the pace modern AI now makes possible, with the rigor that complex systems still demand.
What we do
Four practice areas, one bar: senior engineers, AI-augmented workflows, and problems where the stakes justify the investment.
-
Architecture & Technical Strategy
System design, technology selection, and pragmatic scaling roadmaps for engineering leaders who need a senior outside perspective — including the AI questions you cannot duck anymore.

Our platform
Waimea
Waimea is a multi-tenant application platform where AI agents do the building. Describe what you need; the agents wire up tables, views, forms, and workflows on a real PostgreSQL database — with real permissions, real audit, and a real API. Operational software, shipped at the speed of conversation.
