// SOFTWARE · AI · RESCUE

We build software that survives contact with production.

A senior engineering and AI team for companies that need it done right — and for founders who need their AI-built MVP rescued, hardened, and scaled.

What we do.

Senior engineering across the full stack — from rescuing AI-built MVPs to standing up the systems that keep them running.

01 · BUILD

Custom Software Development

Web apps, APIs, and backend systems built to last. Type-safe, well-tested, easy for the next engineer to read.

TypeScriptGoPostgres
02 · AI

AI Integration & Agents

LLM features, RAG pipelines, agents, and automations wired into real products — with evals, guardrails, and budgets.

RAGAgentsEvals
03 · ZERO-TO-ONE

MVP & Product Build

Zero-to-one builds for founders, done with senior hands. Ship something investors and users can actually use.

Next.jsAuthPayments
04 · SCALE

Cloud, DevOps & Scaling

Infrastructure that doesn't fall over. CI/CD, observability, and the boring discipline that keeps pagers quiet.

// OUR APPROACH

Senior engineers. No hand-offs to juniors.

01 / METHODread()

Read before we write.

We audit and understand the system before touching it. No heroics, no rewrites for sport — just enough context to make the right call the first time.

02 / SHIPPINGship()

Production-grade increments.

Small, tested, deployable steps — not big-bang rewrites. Every Friday, something measurable is closer to done and visible in production.

03 / AI POSTUREai.assist()

AI where it earns its place.

We use AI to move faster, but humans own the architecture and the quality. The codebase has to make sense without the model in the room.

// AI, DONE SERIOUSLY

We build with AI — without the theatrics.

No glowing brains. Just AI features that work in production.

01.rag

RAG & knowledge retrieval

Answers grounded in your own docs, with citations and freshness controls — not hallucinations.

pgvector · hybrid search
02.agents

LLM agents & tool use

Models that actually use your APIs and finish multi-step tasks — with retries, budgets, and audit trails.

tool-calling · traces
03.workflows

Workflow automation

Replace fragile Zaps and scripts with reliable, observable pipelines that handle real volume.

queues · idempotent jobs
04.evals

Fine-tuning & evals

Models that fit your domain, with a test suite that catches regressions before users do.

LoRA · eval harness
05.voice_docs

Voice & document AI

Turn calls, PDFs, and scans into structured data your systems can actually query and act on.

ASR · OCR · extraction
06.perf

AI cost & latency optimization

Cut token spend and p95 latency — without giving up quality. Right model, right place, right cache.

routing · caching · batching
// PROOF

Work that held up.

A few engagements where the numbers stayed good after we left the room.

RESCUE

Rescued a Lovable-built MVP and scaled it to 20k users.

Founder shipped a working demo in a weekend, then watched it buckle at 200 concurrent users. We re-architected the data layer, locked down auth, and added the test harness that should have been there from day one.

FINTECH

Cut API latency 70% on a payments platform.

Profiled the hot path, killed three round-trips, and moved the heavy work off-request. p95 went from 1.4s to 410ms with no infra rewrite.

AI AGENT

Built the agent that closes 38% of their support tickets.

RAG over four years of ticket history, tool-calling into their billing API, and a strict eval harness. The team kept the hard cases; the agent took the rest.

They came in, read the codebase before saying a word, and shipped the fix the next sprint. That's the bar now.

// HOW ENGAGEMENTS RUN

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. Step 01 · Week 0

    Discovery & audit.

    We understand the goal and the existing code before we write a line. Stakeholder interviews, a full repo read, and a written diagnosis.

    deliverable audit doc
  2. Step 02 · Week 1

    Plan & scope.

    Clear milestones, fixed expectations. You see the plan, the trade-offs, and the price before anything ships.

    deliverable milestone plan
  3. Step 03 · Weeks 2–N

    Build & ship.

    Production-grade increments and weekly demos. Each week ends with something measurable, deployed, and reviewable.

    cadence weekly demos
  4. Step 04 · Ongoing

    Scale & support.

    We stay on to harden and grow it — SLOs, on-call, and the quiet, boring work that keeps it running.
