In plain words
We build web apps, mobile apps and the systems behind them, and connect them to the software you already use.
- Who it's for
- Businesses and government departments that need custom software or an extra development team.
- How to start
- A scoping call and a fixed-price first release, or a dedicated team that joins your sprints.
Words on this page, explained
- Cloud:
- Software that runs on servers in a data centre, reached over the internet, so you don't run servers yourself.
- API:
- A defined way for two software systems to talk to each other automatically.
- ERP:
- Your main business system for stock, orders and accounts (for example SAP or Tally).
- SaaS:
- Software you subscribe to monthly instead of buying and installing.
We design and build cloud platforms, APIs, data pipelines and the web and mobile apps on top of them. Logging, alerting and access control go in with the first release, not after the first incident. The ECHS appointment, medicine and monitoring systems we built for HQ TASA are examples.
Software & cloud · one platform
From six tools to one screen.
Orders in a spreadsheet, stock on chat groups, approvals lost in email. We replace the patchwork with one system that everyone opens in the morning.
Operations · before and after
Before
- Orders in a shared spreadsheet
- Stock updates on chat groups
- Approvals buried in email
- Reports typed every Monday
- "Is it dispatched?" calls
- Three logins, no single truth

- Approve two purchase orders
- Weekly report sent itself at 7 am
- Before: 6 places to look, and nobody sees the whole picture.
- After: one screen, live numbers, and a short list of what needs you today.
What you’re seeing: the same business before and after. Drag the handle, or press the buttons, to compare a day run on spreadsheets, chats and calls with a day run on one screen.
For engineers
Typical build: a cloud-native back end in Go, Java or .NET with a single API, event streams for live updates, role-based web and mobile apps, and connectors into your ERP, WMS or POS. Infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability and cost dashboards from day one.
Half before, half after
Why teams call us
- 01
Systems that slow down as you grow
We design for the load you expect next year, then measure it.
- 02
Data stuck in silos
ERP, POS, WMS and spreadsheets that don't talk. We build the pipes and the single view.
- 03
Legacy applications nobody wants to touch
We modernise long-lived .NET, C++ and MFC applications step by step, without a risky big-bang rewrite.
How we work
From first workshop to running in production.
- STEP 01
Assess
Current architecture, costs, risks and the quickest wins.
- STEP 02
Design
Domain model, APIs, data flows, security and the cloud landing zone.
- STEP 03
Build
Services, front ends and pipelines with automated tests and infrastructure as code.
- STEP 04
Migrate
Strangler-pattern migrations, data backfills and parallel runs.
- STEP 05
Operate
Monitoring, alerting, cost reviews and on-call support if you need it.
What you get
Deliverables, not slideware.
- Production services
- APIs and workers with tests, logs, metrics and traces
- Infrastructure as code
- Terraform or Pulumi for every environment
- Data platform
- Pipelines, warehouse models and dashboards
- Security baseline
- IAM, secrets management, OWASP checks and audit logging
- Cost report
- Where the money goes and how to cut it

Software & cloud development: common questions
Which cloud do you recommend?
The one your team can run. We're strongest on Google Cloud and AWS and work on Azure for clients who are already there.
Can you modernise our MFC or WinForms application?
Yes. We usually wrap it with APIs first, then move features to a modern front end in slices.
Do you do big data?
Yes. Spark, BigQuery and streaming pipelines, from ingestion to dashboards.

Where this sits in the stack
Six blocks on one die. One team across all of them.
We work across .NET, C, C++, MFC, Go, Java, Python, Node.js, React and Spark, on GCP, AWS and Azure, plus embedded C on RTOS and embedded Linux. Pick a block to see where it fits.
Hover, tap or tab through the blocks. Lit copper shows which blocks work together.
