Forward-deployed engineering, amplified.

Top-tier engineers embedded in your business and your engineering teams, amplified by AI agents. We solve the problems that matter, and transform how your organisation builds software.

Less overhead. More essence. Faster value.

// what we do

Two transformations, hand in hand.

We've spent a decade transforming how businesses run. Now we transform how their software gets built, starting with ourselves.

01 · since 2015

Solve the business problem.

Forward-deployed delivery on the problems that move your business: new products, core systems, integrations, data that finally connects across departments. From first conversation to production in weeks, not quarters.

02 · now

Transform the engineering.

For organisations held back by heavy, traditional delivery. We embed with your engineers and move them to modern, test-driven, cloud-native and AI-amplified ways of working. We leave your team stronger and independent.

> We start with a business problem, because that's the only honest way to show what modern engineering can do. The transformation follows the result.

// why it's different

The old model is heavy. Ours is short.

Agentic AI now does the high-volume work that used to need headcount. What stays scarce is judgment: understanding the business, architecture, taste, accountability. So that's all we keep.

Engineers sit at the problem. No relay chain, and your team keeps the pace after we step back.

01

Talent first

Seniority is measured in problems solved, not years. We hire for talent, attitude and integrity, and train for skill and excellence.

02

AI-amplified

Agentic engineering is how we work every day, from discovery to production.

03

Forward-deployed

Embedded in your business and your teams. We own the problem end to end, with no analyst relay.

04

Yours, not ours

No platform, no lock-in. Open, long-lived technology. Code, data and know-how are yours.

// how we work

How we work.

  1. 01

    Embed

    Engineers, not account managers, spend the first days inside your business and your teams.

  2. 02

    Frame

    We agree the problem, constraints and success metric in plain language, and get to the essence.

  3. 03

    Ship early

    Working software in users' hands in days, in production in weeks.

  4. 04

    Compound

    Agents keep tests, docs and migrations current, so velocity doesn't decay. Your team learns the way of working along the way.

Holistic by design

Because we sit inside the business, we see more than the ticket in front of us. We answer the questions nobody thought to ask, connect data and efforts across departments and assignments, and point out when the real problem is somewhere else.

Outcomes, not specifications

Bring us a goal and a metric, not a 200-page spec.

Every engagement makes the next one better

What we learn in the field goes back into our playbooks, agents and patterns. The knowledge compounds; client code and data stay the client's.

Who does what

AI handles volume; our engineers own judgment, architecture, security and accountability. Every change that ships is reviewed and owned by a named engineer.

$ cat stack.md
No silver bullets. Architecture and fit for the job matter more than any single technology. Most of what we build runs on proven, mainstream stacks such as Java and Spring, .NET, TypeScript and React, PostgreSQL and Kubernetes, because they are well understood, easy to hire for and built to last. Where the agentic world calls for small, fast, low-latency services, we reach for Go or Rust. Whatever we build, you own and can maintain without us.

// the team

In any great adventure that you don't want to lose, victory depends upon the people that you choose.— Eric Idle, Monty Python's Spamalot

A mix of seasoned architects and engineers fresh out of university, from Charles University (MFF UK), Czech Technical University (ČVUT), the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) and beyond. We don't measure seniority by age, but by the problems someone can solve. We value integrity, talent, respect and passion, and speak English, Czech, Slovak and the occasional French.

// careers

Seniority is measured in problems solved.

Fresh out of university or twenty years in: if you solve hard problems, own them end to end and care about doing it right, you'll fit. Real responsibility from day one, direct client impact, no career-ladder bureaucracy, and the best agentic tooling there is, alongside peers who care about the craft.
