◆  Software & data consultancy

Hard problems, solved with data and principled engineering.

We help teams build data platforms, systems and software that stay correct, fast and understandable as they grow. Our engineering practice was shaped by over a decade at high-growth startups and quantitative trading firms.

01  Services

Where we can help.

/ data

Data engineering & platforms

Pipelines and storage you can trust: well-modelled, observable and cheap to run.

  • Batch & streaming pipelines
  • Warehouse & lakehouse design
  • Data quality, lineage & testing
/ analysis

Quantitative analysis & tooling

Turning messy data into decisions, with the rigour of a trading desk.

  • Research & backtesting infrastructure
  • Metrics, experimentation & forecasting
  • Internal tools for analysts
/ systems

Software architecture & delivery

Systems designed for correctness and performance, then built and shipped.

  • Backend services & APIs
  • Performance & reliability work
  • Rescuing and refactoring legacy code
/ advisory

Technical leadership

Senior judgement when you need it, without a full-time hire.

  • Architecture & due-diligence reviews
  • Fractional tech lead
  • Hiring & mentoring engineers
02  Approach

Principled engineering, in practice.

P.1

Measure before you build

Decisions start from data. We find out where the real bottleneck or risk is before writing a line of code.

P.2

Correctness is a feature

In trading, a subtle bug costs money in milliseconds. We bring that discipline: tests, invariants and reproducibility by default.

P.3

Simple beats clever

The best system is the one your team can understand, operate and change long after we've gone.

P.4

Ship in small steps

Startup speed with production standards: frequent, reversible changes that deliver value early.

P.5

Leave the team stronger

We document, pair and hand over properly, so the knowledge stays with you.

03  Background

Two worlds, one standard.

Startups

Building products from the first commit, scaling systems and teams through growth, and making pragmatic trade-offs when time and money are tight.

We know how to move fast without leaving a mess for the next engineer.

Quantitative trading firms

Working on systems where performance, correctness and data quality are not optional, and where every decision is measured.

That rigour carries into every engagement, whatever the industry.

04  How we work

Engagements that fit the problem.

Discovery

A short, fixed-scope review of your system, data or roadmap, ending in a clear written plan.

Build

Hands-on delivery of a defined project, embedded with your team or working independently.

Advise

Ongoing senior support on a retainer: architecture, code review and technical direction.
