Independent technology consulting from senior engineers and architects who have built and run production systems. We help you make confident decisions about architecture, modernization, security and team structure.
An independent review of your codebase, architecture and delivery practices. You get a clear picture of risks, technical debt and what to fix first.
A practical plan to move aging systems onto supported, maintainable platforms without a risky big-bang rewrite. We weigh refactoring, re-platforming and rebuilding for each component.
Part-time senior technology leadership for companies that need strategic direction without a full-time executive hire. We work with founders, leadership teams and boards.
We help you prepare for SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA and similar frameworks by closing technical gaps and putting the right controls in place. We work alongside your auditor rather than replacing one.
A sequenced plan that connects business goals to technology investments over the next several quarters. Each initiative has a rationale, dependencies and rough effort.
Focused advice on a specific application decision, such as selecting a platform, planning an integration or evaluating build vs. buy. Short engagements with a clear written recommendation.
How we modernize a legacy shipment-tracking monolith with the strangler-fig pattern, event-driven integration and cloud hosting, without a risky rewrite.

Technology decisions compound. A rushed platform choice, an architecture that cannot scale, or a security gap discovered during a customer’s due diligence can cost far more to fix later than to address now. Our IT consulting services give you an experienced, independent view before you commit budget and people.
We typically work with:
We read the code, review the infrastructure and look at how software actually gets built and shipped. Interviews tell us what people believe; the repository, pipelines and cloud accounts tell us what is really happening. Every finding in our reports points to specific evidence.
Each recommendation includes the problem, the options, the trade-offs and a rough effort estimate. We sequence work so that quick, high-impact fixes happen early and larger changes, such as a cloud migration, are planned with clear milestones and rollback points.
For legacy systems we usually recommend incremental modernization: wrapping old components behind stable interfaces, replacing modules one at a time and migrating data in rehearsed steps. This keeps the business running and lets you stop or re-prioritize at any point.
A defined audit or strategy project with a set timeline and deliverables, such as an architecture review, a modernization plan or a compliance gap assessment.
Ongoing access to senior architects or a fractional CTO for a set number of hours each month. Suited to leadership support, design reviews and hiring guidance.
When you want the roadmap executed, our custom software development and DevOps consulting teams can pick up the work, keeping continuity between strategy and implementation.
We confirm these factors during an initial call and put them in a written proposal, so you know exactly what the engagement covers, what you will receive and when, before any work begins. If the scope changes midway, we agree on the change in writing first.
If you are facing a technology decision you want to get right, start a conversation with our team.
Clear stages, clear deliverables, and no black-box handoffs.
We meet with leadership, engineers and key users to understand goals, constraints, pain points and the decisions you need to make.
Deliverable: agreed assessment scope and success criteriaWe review code, architecture, infrastructure, delivery pipelines and documentation directly, rather than relying only on interviews.
Deliverable: findings report with evidence and risk ratingsWe turn findings into prioritized options with trade-offs, effort estimates and a sequenced roadmap your team can execute.
Deliverable: architecture blueprint and prioritized roadmapWe stay involved as much as you need, from periodic reviews to hands-on delivery by our engineering teams.

SonarQubeOWASP ZAPMost engagements include discovery interviews, a hands-on technical assessment, a written findings report and a prioritized roadmap. Depending on your needs, we can also stay on to guide implementation or provide the engineering team to carry it out.
Cost depends on the size and number of systems in scope, how much hands-on review is needed, the depth of the deliverables and whether you want ongoing support. We scope assessments as fixed-price engagements where possible, and offer monthly retainers for fractional CTO and advisory work.
A focused audit of a single application usually takes a few weeks, while assessments that span multiple systems and teams take longer. We agree on the timeline and deliverables up front so there are no open-ended engagements.
Yes. We do not resell software licenses or earn referral fees from vendors, so our recommendations are based on what fits your requirements, team and budget. If an existing tool is the right answer, we will say so.
We help you prepare by assessing gaps, implementing technical controls and improving development practices. Formal certification or attestation is issued by an independent auditor, and we can work alongside the audit firm you choose.
A fractional CTO is a senior technology leader who works with you part-time. It is a good fit for startups before a full-time CTO hire, for companies between technology leaders, or when non-technical leadership needs an experienced voice on architecture, hiring and vendor decisions.
