We're a small team of senior engineers who believe the best work happens when you care about what you're building.
From strategy to security, we meet you where you are.
Every company's challenges are different. We bring deep expertise across four disciplines — and the judgment to know which one you actually need.
Fractional CTO
Technical Leadership
Your team needs senior technical leadership, but a full-time CTO hire isn't the right move yet. We step in — guiding architecture decisions, mentoring your engineers, and keeping your technical strategy aligned with where the business is going.
AI Infrastructure
ML & LLM Systems
You've proven the concept. Now it needs to work at scale, in production, every day. We build the infrastructure that turns AI prototypes into reliable products — model serving, fine-tuning pipelines, and everything in between.
Automation
Workflows & AI Agents
The work that's slowing your team down — the manual handoffs, the repetitive processes, the tools that don't talk to each other — we build systems that handle it, so your people can focus on what actually moves the needle.
Cybersecurity
Audit & Compliance
Whether you need to pass your first SOC2 audit or just want to know where the gaps are, we run thorough assessments and give you a clear, prioritized plan — not a 200-page report that collects dust.
Deep expertise. Narrow focus.
Each engagement is scoped to a single discipline, led by someone who's done it before. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Fractional CTO
We join your standups, review your architecture, help you hire the right engineers, and make sure your tech strategy keeps pace with your growth. Think of it as a technical co-founder — on your schedule.
AI Infrastructure
From prototype to production: we build model serving, fine-tuning pipelines, RAG systems, and inference optimization. When your AI needs to work reliably at scale, that's where we come in.
Automation & AI Agents
We map your team's most painful workflows, design AI-powered automation, and build systems that run themselves. Then we stick around to make sure they keep running.
Cybersecurity
We audit your systems, find the vulnerabilities, and build a prioritized remediation plan. If you need compliance documentation for SOC2, HIPAA, or ISO — we handle that too.
Your team, extended. Not replaced.
We don't hand you a deliverable and disappear. We work alongside your people — in your tools, on your cadence — until the work is done and your team can carry it forward.
Embedded in your workflow.
Same repo. Same Slack channels. Same sprint. We show up like a colleague, not a contractor — because the best work happens when there's no distance between the people doing it.
Structured around the work.
Some challenges need a CTO on retainer. Others need a focused eight-week sprint. We figure out what the work requires and build the engagement around that — not the other way around.
Focused by design.
We work with a small number of clients at a time so we can give each one the attention they deserve. If we take you on, you'll feel it.
A few of the teams we've helped.
Most of our work is under NDA. Here are some of the challenges we can tell you about.
From zero CTO
to Series B.
A Series A team with funding and vision but no senior technical leadership. We stepped in, redesigned the architecture, hired three engineers, and built the culture that carried them to their next round.
40 workflows.
Zero babysitting.
A 200-person company buried in manual handoffs. We mapped every painful workflow, designed AI-powered automation for each one, and gave them back two full-time roles — without cutting a single job.
SOC2 in 12 weeks.
First try.
Investors wanted compliance and the clock was ticking. We ran a full security audit, closed 23 critical vulnerabilities, and built the documentation that got them through on the first attempt.
Relationships over transactions.
Senior from day one
Every person we put on your project has years of hands-on experience in their discipline. You'll work directly with the people doing the work — not a sales team that disappears after kickoff.
Outcomes you can measure
Before we start, we agree on what success looks like. Clear deliverables, realistic timelines, and honest check-ins along the way. If something isn't working, you'll hear it from us first.
Built for the long run
Most of our clients work with us for six months or more. Not because they're locked in — because the relationship keeps delivering value. That's the kind of partnership we optimize for.
Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you how we can help.
No pitch deck, no sales funnel. Just a real conversation about the challenge you're facing and whether we're the right team to help. If we're not, we'll point you to someone who is.
