Technical leadership for complex systems

12+ years helping banks, councils and tech companies build software that works at scale

  • 12+ years in the industry
  • 6M users on platforms we built
  • 30 largest team led
  • 7 sectors served

We've been doing this since 2013. We work as an embedded technical lead within your team — not as an outsider shipping code, but as someone who sits with your developers and stakeholders to understand the real problem.

Then we design and implement the most appropriate solution. No unnecessary complexity. No architecture astronautics. Just the right approach for the problem at hand.

The approach is personal. We've led teams of 3 and teams of 30. We've worked with event sourcing, identity platforms, real-time messaging, and large-scale eCommerce. Every engagement is different, and that's the point.

Reporting tools we build and run for accountants and finance teams

We expose your operational data — from WorkflowMax and Xero — as a Postgres database and a Power BI connector, so your finance team stops fighting the reporting UI and starts answering the questions that matter.

Integrates with your Xero data and exposes a Postgres database that can be used for Power BI reports — so cashflow, revenue and expense reporting lives in the same stack as the rest of your finance analytics.

See how embedded technical leadership can unlock your team's potential

We've worked inside teams that were smart, motivated, and still stuck. The problem is rarely the developers — it's the absence of someone experienced enough to make the big calls and clear the path ahead.

That's what we do. We step in as your technical lead, take ownership of the architecture, and work closely with your people to build something that holds up not just for the next sprint, but for the next three years.

We do the work so you
don't have to

    Tell us about your project

    A short call to understand the system, the team, and the pressure points. No deck, no sales pitch.

  2. 2

    We scope the engagement

    A clear statement of the problem, the approach, and what success looks like. Fixed expectations before we start.

  3. 3

    We get to work

    Embedded alongside your team. Leading the build, making the calls, and leaving your people stronger at the end.

Let's talk. One conversation could unblock everything.
