01
Custom software development
Applications built around a specific operational problem rather than adapted from a generic product. We start from the workflow the software has to support, model the data behind it, and implement the system in units that can be tested and released independently.
- Domain modelling and data design
- Backend services and business logic
- Automated test coverage for critical paths
02
Web application development
Browser-based systems for internal operations and customer-facing use. We pay attention to the parts users feel: predictable navigation, states that survive a page reload, accessible markup, and performance on ordinary devices and connections.
- Responsive, accessible interfaces
- Server-rendered pages where indexing matters
- Session, permission and error handling
03
Cloud and infrastructure solutions
Environments defined in code so they can be rebuilt, reviewed and reasoned about. This covers networking, compute, storage, deployment pipelines and the monitoring needed to understand how a system behaves in production.
- Infrastructure as code and reproducible builds
- CI/CD pipelines with staged releases
- Backups, restore rehearsals and alerting
04
System architecture
Structural decisions made explicitly: where boundaries sit, how services communicate, which data is authoritative, and what happens when a component is unavailable. Architecture work is delivered as written documentation alongside diagrams, not as a verbal agreement.
- Component and data-flow documentation
- Failure-mode and dependency analysis
- Migration paths for existing systems
05
API development and system integration
Interfaces that let existing systems exchange data reliably. We define contracts first, version them deliberately, and handle the unglamorous parts of integration properly: retries, idempotency, partial failures and reconciliation.
- REST and event-based interfaces
- Third-party and legacy system connectors
- Contract documentation and validation
06
UI/UX implementation
Translating design intent into working interfaces without losing detail. We implement layouts as responsive systems rather than fixed screens, keep interaction states consistent, and verify behaviour with keyboard navigation and screen-reader semantics.
- Design system and component implementation
- Accessibility and focus management
- Cross-device layout verification
07
Software modernisation
Bringing older systems into a maintainable state without a risky rewrite. Typically this means characterising current behaviour with tests, isolating parts behind clear interfaces, and replacing them incrementally while the system stays in service.
- Codebase assessment and risk mapping
- Incremental refactoring and strangler patterns
- Framework, runtime and dependency upgrades
08
Quality assurance
Testing arranged so that it catches the failures that actually occur. Unit tests protect logic, integration tests protect boundaries, and end-to-end checks cover the few flows whose breakage would be most damaging.
- Test strategy suited to the system's risk
- Automated regression suites in CI
- Defect analysis and prevention
09
Security-focused engineering
Security treated as a set of engineering requirements. Authentication and authorisation are designed rather than bolted on, input is validated at trust boundaries, secrets are managed outside the codebase, and dependencies are monitored for known issues.
- Access control and least-privilege design
- Secret management and configuration hygiene
- Dependency and configuration review
10
Technical consulting
Independent assessment when a decision is expensive to reverse: platform selection, build-versus-integrate questions, scaling constraints, or a second opinion on a proposed architecture. Findings are delivered in writing with the reasoning included.
- Architecture and code review
- Technology selection analysis
- Planning support for migrations
11
Maintenance and optimisation
Ongoing care for systems that are already live: applying updates, tuning slow queries and endpoints, reducing operational noise, and keeping documentation aligned with what the system actually does.
- Performance profiling and tuning
- Scheduled dependency and platform updates
- Monitoring, logging and runbook upkeep
