01
Embedded expertise
We become part of your team; pairing with developers, reviewing architecture decisions, and building long-term capability alongside delivery.
Embedded expertise for evolving complex software systems
We help mid-sized businesses modernise legacy platforms safely; without stopping delivery. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with your teams, we turn technical debt into lasting capability.
Does this sound familiar?
Your platform is holding you back. Every feature takes longer than it should. Simple changes feel risky.
Technical debt has compounded. The codebase is hard to understand. New developers struggle to contribute safely.
You need to modernise, but can't stop. A big rewrite isn't an option. The business can't wait months for results.
You lack in-house architecture expertise. Your team is capable, but needs guidance on evolutionary patterns and long-term strategy.
These are the challenges we help solve - not with reports and recommendations, but by working embedded with your teams to deliver real, incremental change.
How we work
We don't hand you a slide deck and leave. We embed with your teams, working shoulder-to-shoulder to deliver evolutionary, safe change.
02
Evolution, not revolution
No big rewrites. We modernise incrementally using proven patterns: seam creation, bounded contexts, and safe refactoring at pace.
03
Business-aligned change
Every technical decision serves a business goal. We prioritise improvements that reduce risk, increase delivery speed, or unlock new capabilities.
04
Knowledge transfer built in
We're not building dependency. We work with your people, mentor teams, and ensure your developers own the modernised system when we leave.

Repurposing a product to enter a new market
Problem
A company with a profitable advice-generating product (1M requests/day) identified a strategic opportunity in batch processing for a new market. The legacy core couldn't support the new model, requiring replacement while maintaining the existing product. The organisation was also undergoing structural changes.
Approach
We embedded within the existing team to implement new features whilst carefully migrating or bypassing parts of the legacy application. Using the Strangler Fig pattern, we gradually improved architecture, maintainability, and sustainable pace — all while enabling the team to take ownership of future improvements.
Outcome
- 8 months from inception to new product launch
- 15x performance improvement on half the servers
- 3x growth in original product requests after migration
- 3 years on new product profitable and on track for 10M/day target
