Data scientists learn to deploy. DevOps engineers discover AI. Consultancies bolt on an AI practice. Our founder has worked in all three worlds since studying neural networks in the 1990s, so we sit with your people, design the system with them, and build AI that is understood, built properly and still running next year.
Deep-stack expertise across the full lifecycle — from embedded silicon to cloud-native orchestration and production AI.
High-resiliency Linux stacks for regulated and critical environments. API modernisation, secure telemetry and hardened builds, from bare metal to containers.
Production AI, not demos: LLM and agentic systems with evals, spend controls and least-privilege access. Neural networks since the 1990s; edge ML where hardware is constrained.
Landing zones, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code and CI/CD across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. Our speciality is getting stalled platforms into production.
Fractional and interim CTO, SOW technical assurance, and AI role-to-project reviews. Delivered directly, or through recruitment and delivery partners under their name.
Decades of safety-critical embedded Linux. Secure boot, RTOS, ARM TrustZone. MISRA C and DO-178 practice for defence, automotive and industrial systems.
Forensic packet-level network analysis for mission-critical environments. Real-time monitoring tooling built on open-source foundations.
Thirty years of engineering in environments where getting it wrong is expensive.
Fixed-scope platform, cloud and AI work with clear milestones, designed to be handed over.
Senior technical leadership without the payroll, for organisations not yet ready for a permanent CTO.
We lead the technical side under your name, and never go direct to your clients.
