Engineering across the spectrum.
Oui, c'est cool.
A boutique engineering consultancy. From reliability to AI, we take you from A to B — pragmatically, and with the receipts.
What you hire us for
Two things we do repeatedly, and have the engagements to show for it.
Cloud platforms on GCP & AWS
Environments you can reproduce, a delivery path you can trust, and infrastructure your own team can operate after we leave.
- Terraform-built multi-environment foundations
- Cloud Run, Kubernetes, and managed load balancing
- CI/CD with keyless auth and real smoke tests
- CDN and edge auth for private media
- Runbooks, diagrams, and ownership maps
LLM & retrieval products that survive production
Not a demo. Retrieval that stays accurate, an evaluation suite that catches regressions, and the security posture an enterprise will actually approve.
- Hybrid vector + full-text retrieval with RRF fusion
- LangGraph orchestration and streaming answers
- Golden-question evaluation suites, incl. multilingual
- MFA, rate limiting, and region-pinned data
- Terraform, Cloud Run, and pgvector underneath
How we engage
Pick the shape that fits the problem — we'll tell you honestly if it's the wrong one.
Project
A scoped build with milestones you can hold us to. Best when the destination is clear and you need it built right the first time.
Retainer
Ongoing ownership of a platform, a pipeline, or an on-call posture. Best when the thing exists and now has to keep working.
Fractional
An embedded senior engineer or engineering lead, part-time. Best when you need the judgment more than the headcount.
Client work
Engagements we've shipped — every one of them a referral. Anonymized, but the architecture is real.
Enterprise AI chatbot
A MFA-protected RAG assistant on GCP — Claude answers grounded in a curated knowledge corpus.

View on GitHub →The full spectrum
Senior people who have actually run the thing they're advising you on, assembled per engagement. Everything we take on sits somewhere along here.
SRE
Production you can sleep through. SLOs, observability, incident response, and toil reduction that keep systems fast and on their feet.
DevOps
Ship faster, safely. CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and release automation that turn deploys into non-events.
Cloud
Right-sized foundations, architecture, migration, cost control, and security across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes.
Full-stack engineering
From database to UI. Well-tested services, clean APIs, and interfaces your users and your team will actually enjoy.
AI
Practical AI that ships. LLM apps, agents, and retrieval built on the latest models — grounded in real evaluation, not hype.
