Build
Product & engineering
Hands-on development. Architecture review and rebuild. We write code, ship features, run the incidents. Not advisors at a distance.

Built by people who’ve
shipped the thing.
Two decades of product development, engineering leadership, and strategy. The CTO at 2am during the incident, the strategist with the roadmap. The work is better when one team does both.

What we do
Three modes of engagement, one operator.
Lead
Fractional CTO
Technical leadership a scaleup needs without a full-time hire. Strategy and pull requests. Board updates and bug fixes.
Advise
Strategy & advisory
Transformation roadmaps that survive contact with reality. Technical due diligence for PE and VC, in partnership with Philipps & Byrne.
Where we go deep
Industries we know from the inside.
Technology & startups
Architecture that survives growth
Platform architecture, scaling pains, technical hiring. Venture-backed growth, and what investors look for.
E-mobility & connected vehicles
Firmware that outlives the OEM
Embedded Linux, vehicle telematics, OTA at cellular-realistic sizes. Open-source firmware deployed on real vehicles, every day.
Public sector & civic tech
Boring infrastructure, built right
Federal archives, council records, open data. We run Quellenportal for the Bundesarchiv and MeinBezirk for civic council documents.
Healthcare & life sciences
Regulated software, shipped
Interim CTO and CPO for medical-device companies. EU MDR and FDA submissions. Software as a Medical Device, IEC 62304, ISO 13485.
Retail & e-commerce
Black Friday-grade systems
Performance work, personalisation, platforms rebuilt for 10× traffic. When milliseconds compound, rigorous execution wins.
Finance & insurance
Compliance meets velocity
Legacy modernisation, real-time trading, risk and KYC systems. Innovation that does not put the firm in front of a regulator.

A first conversation costs nothing.
A 30-minute call to understand your situation and whether we are a fit. No deck, no follow-up sequence.
