What you get

Scalable Systems

Architecture that grows without operational chaos.

Reduced Risk

SLOs, observability, and predictable incident response.

Faster Delivery

Clear APIs and service boundaries that speed up teams.

API Design

Contracts, versioning, and service boundaries.

Microservices or Modern Monolith

Right-sized architecture for your context.

Reliability Engineering

SLOs, monitoring, and runbook readiness.

Modernisation

Incremental migrations and platform upgrades.

How we deliver

  • Assess. Evaluate platform constraints, risk, and performance.
  • Define. Create a roadmap with target architecture and milestones.
  • Deliver. Implement incrementally with observability and feedback.

Example engagement

Built and maintained a JVM-based API platform for Cupid Media, including hands-on Java and Kotlin development, JVM performance tuning that absorbed significant traffic growth without proportional infrastructure cost increases, and CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time from multi-day cycles to 30 minutes. Built an orchestration platform for Cupid Media's virtual currency system, developed transactional and campaign messaging integrations with enterprise MarTech platforms, and built an i18n framework supporting 30+ languages including RTL and non-Latin scripts that expanded the addressable market by ~40%.

Separately, engineered and maintained SDK codebases across Android, Flutter, Python, Ruby, and Node.js for Raygun, used by thousands of development teams globally.
