Small firm, real receipts.

A handful of recent engagements, told plainly. Client names are anonymized where the NDA requires it — everything else is exactly as it happened.

Retail SaaS release process modernization
Retail SaaS · Rochester, NY

From weekly deploys to on-demand in six weeks

A 42-engineer team was releasing every Wednesday with a two-hour freeze window. We rebuilt their GitHub Actions pipelines, introduced a merge queue, and moved their integration tests off the critical path.

Result: 4 deploys/week → 11/day. Rollback rate dropped from 14% to 3%.

Logistics platform Kubernetes stabilization
Logistics · Columbus, OH

Turning a Kubernetes migration around, mid-flight

Client was 60% through a self-managed Kubernetes migration and burning three engineers' full time keeping it upright. We paused the migration, moved workloads to EKS with Karpenter, and rewrote their Helm charts as a single umbrella.

Result: On-call pages down 58%. Two engineers redeployed to product work.

Fintech TPM engagement
Fintech · Boston, MA

A fractional TPM for a cross-team compliance push

SOC 2 Type II deadline in 90 days, four squads, no shared roadmap. We embedded a TPM two days a week, rebuilt the tracking spreadsheet as a real Linear workspace, and ran weekly leadership syncs.

Result: Type II report delivered 11 days ahead of schedule. Zero critical findings.

Manufacturing software monorepo project
Industrial software · Buffalo, NY

Untangling a five-year-old Nx monorepo

Twenty-two packages, no clear ownership, 45-minute CI runs. We introduced CODEOWNERS across the tree, cut CI time with affected-only builds, and coached the leads on maintaining boundaries.

Result: CI down to 8 minutes median. First-time PR pass rate up from 41% to 79%.

Series-A startup audit engagement
Series-A SaaS · Austin, TX

A two-week audit that killed a $400k project

Client was about to spend two quarters on a "platform team" build-out. Our audit showed the real bottleneck was PR review policy, not tooling. We wrote it down honestly.

Result: Project scrapped. Client hired us for a six-week workflow fix instead.

Healthcare tech migration
Healthtech · Nashville, TN

A calm Bitbucket → GitHub Enterprise migration

168 repositories, active development, hard cutover date. We wrote the migration scripts, ran three practice migrations on weekends, and executed the real cutover in a four-hour Saturday window.

Result: Zero engineering-hours of downtime. Nine open PRs preserved end-to-end.

In their words

What clients say after we've left.

They spent the first three days just listening. Everything after that was calibrated. I've hired big-name firms twice and got half the value at four times the cost.

Sarah Whitfield
Sarah W.VP Engineering, retail SaaS

We got a real report — 18 pages, with citations to specific PRs and incidents. It was the first honest read of our codebase we'd ever gotten.

Marcus Delano
Marcus D.CTO, logistics platform

The TPM they placed with us knew our codebase within a week. Executives finally got reporting they trusted, and engineers got someone who could actually unblock them.

Priya Chen
Priya C.Head of Product, fintech
