Technology consulting, development and software (SaaS) services with an approach that takes advantage of the latest trends with the intent to outlast them.
Our experience includes tenture in consequential roles in industries such as:
- FinTech
- eCommerce
- Social Networking
- Mobile Gaming
- and more...
We bring experience from innovative businesses in Silicon Valley, in area such as product, engineering and management.
We have seen businesses go through good times and hard times - from within the beast. These experiences inform a highly pragmatic approach where we can accelerate your business while also protecting it from risks.
Saving Money.
Cost management is a strategy and not something we just do periodically. We've tackled budgets of $10M+ and reduced them by more than half. Budgets have included software, subscriptions, hardware, hosting, and headcount.
If you're on-premise, we can develop a strategy for how you buy servers, storage, and networking equipment. If you're in the cloud, we can build and keep a culture where you're only using what you need to, leveraging committed cost discounts and spot marketplace discounts.
Strategy also extends to staffing. We can help determine a roadmap for your teams - whether it's developers or infrastructure, security, and data. We have created hiring pipelines for domestic, near-shore, and offshore talent. We have hired junior, senior, lead/staff, principals, managers and directors.
Acceleration for Scale.
We are Engineering for Engineering. We speed up the teams that speed up your business. DevOps, IaC, DORA metrics, 12-Factor, are all part of our toolbox.
The infrastructure team is a core enablement for all of engineering.
- Streamlining software development processes (build, test, deploy).
- Enabling insight and governance for your security team.
- Facilitating collection of data for analytics.
- Enabling efficient review of changes by product and QA
We can work closely with your architecture team to establish patterns that match up well with your goals, in order to keep the business moving in the right direction.
Perform to meet Volume.
Architect the world's most trafficked dynamic websites, and ensuring they perform across the globe. We have tuned networks at the edge, database systems at the core, and everything in between.
From the last mile to your datacenter, network architecture isn't just CDNs and BGP anymore. Compute-at-edge and mobile applications offer up ways to deliver your application without the typical network constraints. Utilize our expertise in performance fundamentals and modeling to build an architecture that becomes your advantage.
At the core, your architecture choices will define your scaling limits, developer experience, infrastructure costs and staffing costs. We can help you define an architecture that enables with your product vision - focussing on core goals ahead of ancillary concerns.
Shrink Risk, while Compliant.
Let us help build your security team from the ground up, and deliver recognized progress, leading to low premiums for cyber insurance, fewer incidents and reduced impacts.
While regulations and compliance programs are a good start, they are not enough. Your security program should hold the function of your business as it's core - and should be built to address the problems that you are likely to encounter, and then balanced with outside tools like penetration testing and bug bounty programs.
Privacy regulations are plenty and growing. We have experience with generic customer privacy (CCPA, GDPR), financial privacy (GLBA, PCI), and more. We can help make sure that you achieve compliance with an appropriate but optimized ongoing cost.
Data is an Asset.
Your most informed decisions will be your most effective ones. Harnass the power of all of your data, while keeping tight control over security and privacy.
You shouldn't have to wait days to generate reports and your data pipelines should be near real-time. We can help you employ the latest practices to load data with minimal latency and impact to your production systems (ELT), and then transform the data in your warehouse to be ready for reporting immediately.
With rapid development in AI and Machine Learning, data is a new currency. Enable your data science team with compliant tools that are optimized for them to iterate quickly and deliver results.
AI Automation.
Deploy AI and Machine Learning projects, and set your ML teams up to iterate quickly towards success. We have experience deploying predictive models, computer vision, and more.
While many web applications follow a similar architecture, AI and Machine Learning projects are often unique. We have built novel architectures that are suited specifically to the needs of a particular project - where data scientists, developers and product teams can iterate quickly to deploy solutions that actually accelerate their business.
With our holistic approach to all aspects of engineering, we can help make sure that engineering best practices such as environmental separation and 12-factor methodology are in full effect. You can have cutting-edge AI products with all the configurablity, observability, data collection and reporting that are expected of a modern web application.
