Three layers, and the top one needs the two beneath it

An AI system is only as good as the platform it queries and the cloud it runs on. We take work at any layer, and decline work outside them.

  1. 01

    AI systems you can measure

    Retrieval pipelines, agentic workflows, and LLM applications with an evaluation harness from the first commit. A golden set, a CI gate, a stated pass rate, and named failure modes — because an AI feature nobody can measure is a demo, not a system.

    • Agents
    • Evaluation
    • MCP
  2. 02

    The data and application layer underneath

    SaaS platforms, internal systems, and the integration layers between them: APIs, event-driven backends, tenancy and isolation models, and migration paths out of whatever is there now. Includes deep platform work on Salesforce, Shopify, and Zoho where the constraint is integration, data, or release engineering.

    Cloud that holds under load

    AWS, Azure, and GCP architecture with the operational work included: Terraform modules, CI/CD, progressive delivery, and the observability you need to find a cause before a customer calls. Staged resilience, so you buy the failure modes you actually need.

Start with the smallest useful thing

A two-week architecture review costs a fixed fee and ends in a document you own. If the answer is that you do not need us, that is in the document too.

What happens next

  1. A 45-minute call with the engineer who would lead the work
  2. A one-page scope and fixed price within the week
  3. No procurement theatre and no bench to keep busy
