Engagements

Work we can point to.

The institutions we work for keep their software out of the headlines, so we describe the work with identifying details removed. Named references are available under NDA to qualifying clients.

A mortgage & insurance advice service

Fintech & Financial Services
Running the platform end to end
Challenge
A service offering free residential mortgage and insurance advice to an audience underserved by traditional advice needed its entire platform run reliably, without building an engineering team of its own. Advisers and clients depend on it every day.
Approach
We run the whole platform: hosting, releases, monitoring and support, plus the ongoing development that keeps it moving. In effect, we are their engineering function.
Results
A platform that stays up and keeps improving, first-time buyers and advisers served without interruption, and a founder free to grow the business rather than manage infrastructure.
  • Platform operations
  • Full-stack
  • Hosting & monitoring

A Fortune 100 medical-device manufacturer

Health & Medical
Operating a national partnership platform
Challenge
A partnership programme rewarding hospitals for their commitment runs at national scale, with over a hundred hospitals and tens of millions of pounds in value in play, and has to stay transparent, equitable and compliant at every step.
Approach
We run the system behind it: the platform that tracks commitments, awards and redemptions across every participating hospital, engineered for the auditability and compliance the healthcare sector demands.
Results
A programme operating dependably across more than a hundred hospitals, tens of millions in value administered transparently, and investment reaching frontline services without compliance risk.

A wellbeing & self-development startup

Wellbeing & Consumer
Release management & technical supervision
Challenge
A pre-launch startup turning world-class self-development advice into an app that helps people actually apply it needed disciplined releases and technical oversight, without the overhead of a full in-house engineering function.
Approach
We took on release management and ongoing supervision of their team: owning the path to production, setting the cadence and quality bar, and mentoring their developers as they built toward launch.
Results
Predictable, low-drama releases, a team working to a clear standard, and founders free to focus on product and audience instead of delivery mechanics.

A personal-finance fintech startup

Fintech & Personal Finance
Embedded engineering for a personal-finance platform
Challenge
Their whole advantage is closing the gap between customer insight and shipped product, a gap most institutions still measure in fiscal quarters. To hold that edge they needed engineering capacity that could keep pace with product, without a lengthy hire-and-onboard cycle.
Approach
We embedded developers directly into their team, augmenting delivery capacity from day one: building alongside their engineers, matching their stack and standards, and scaling up as the roadmap demanded.
Results
Features moving from insight to production in days rather than quarters, sustained delivery through a critical growth phase, and capacity that flexed with the roadmap instead of fixed headcount.
  • Team augmentation
  • Embedded engineering
  • Fintech
  • Product delivery

An environmental technology company

Environment & Climate
Environmental monitoring & mapping platform
Challenge
Environmental groups working with volunteers needed a single place to monitor sites, map findings and make sense of the data, work that was scattered across field notes, spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
Approach
We built an integrated platform bringing monitoring, mapping and data interpretation together, designed for volunteers in the field as much as analysts at a desk.
Results
Volunteers and coordinators working from one platform, field observations turned into interpreted data, and a foundation the company could grow across new groups and sites.
  • Platform engineering
  • Mapping & GIS
  • Data interpretation
  • Environmental tech

A medtech scale-up

Health & Medical
Technical leadership & developer tooling
Challenge
A remote engineering team needed structured technical leadership. Developers were losing hours to context-switching, with delivery expected to continue at pace.
Approach
We took on technical leadership of the team: async standups to cut meeting overhead, and tooling that removed the daily distractions costing hours of development time, while continuing to build hands-on.
Results
A measurable drop in context-switching, hours of developer time returned each week, and sustained delivery velocity alongside the leadership role.
  • Technical leadership
  • Async delivery
  • Developer tooling

A hyperlocal marketing agency

Marketing & Advertising
Hyperlocal campaign platform & client sites
Challenge
A London agency running hyperlocal advertising for hospitality, tourism and healthcare brands needed technology that could target and measure campaigns at neighbourhood level, and deliver client sites at pace.
Approach
We built the tooling behind their hyperlocal campaigns and the sites they ship for clients: targeting, delivery and measurement in one place.
Results
Faster campaign delivery, sharper local targeting, and reporting that let the agency prove results to its brands.
  • Web platform
  • Campaign tooling
  • Analytics
  • Marketing tech

A consumer software platform

Mobile & Consumer SaaS
Mobile platform modernisation & release automation
Challenge
A legacy mobile app was falling behind platform requirements, had no automated testing, and relied on manual deployments, causing delays and app-store compliance failures.
Approach
We modernised the codebase onto a current, supported toolchain, built automated release pipelines for both app stores, introduced a full testing suite, and cleared every outstanding compliance issue.
Results
A modernised app on a supported toolchain, manual releases gone, test coverage established across the codebase, and store compliance resolved.
  • Mobile
  • CI/CD
  • Automated testing
  • Release engineering

A quantity surveying & project management practice

Construction & Property
Project information system for a surveying practice
Challenge
A long-established practice running concurrent projects for major leisure, retail and commercial brands across the UK and Europe was tracking cost and progress across disconnected documents, with no single view of a project.
Approach
We built a project information system that brought cost, programme and reporting into one place, alongside a refreshed digital presence reflecting three decades of reputation.
Results
A single source of truth across live projects, faster reporting to clients, and a digital presence aligned with the calibre of the brands they serve.

An escape-room software provider

Leisure & Hospitality Software
Mobile app development for a leisure platform
Challenge
A global provider of escape-room software (waivers, team photos and marketing) needed a mobile app operators could rely on in a busy, high-turnover venue environment.
Approach
We developed the mobile app, building check-in, waiver and photo capture into a fast, dependable experience for operators and their customers.
Results
A mobile app extending the platform into the venue, smoother check-in and customer capture, and a foundation for the marketing features that drive operator growth.
  • Mobile
  • iOS & Android
  • App development
  • Leisure tech

A specialist technology & insurance recruiter

Insurance, Data & Technology
Information systems & sites for a specialist recruiter
Challenge
A recruiter working across insurance, data and technology needed systems and a digital presence that matched its promise of deep market expertise and measurable results.
Approach
We built their information systems and sites: the tooling behind day-to-day recruitment and the public presence that wins mandates.
Results
Recruitment running on systems built for the work, a credible digital presence, and honest, measurable delivery the firm could point to.
