Technical advice on your systems and architecture.

• We review the systems, software and cloud services you use, and give you clear, written technical advice on how to improve, replace or extend them.
• We help you plan the architecture of new software or changes to existing systems before money is spent building them.
• Our advice is technical only. We explain the options, their trade-offs and the risks in plain language, and the decision stays with you.

• A review of an existing application or system, with a written list of problems and recommended fixes in order of importance.
• Planning the architecture for a new piece of software, including how it stores data, how people sign in and how it is hosted.
• Choosing between technical options, such as building a tool or using an existing product, with the trade-offs set out.
• A plan for moving files, data or software from an old system to a new one.
• A review of how your systems handle backups, access and sign-in, with practical improvements.

• Web applications, back-end services and databases, especially TypeScript, Node.js, Python and PostgreSQL.
• Cloud hosting, storage and backups, containers and build pipelines.
• Identity and access, such as two-step sign-in, roles and permissions.
• Advice is written up in a short report you keep, with diagrams where they help.

• We never use your data to train AI or machine learning models without your written consent, and only for your own project.
• We work from documentation, read-only access or screen-sharing sessions where possible, and ask for wider access only when a task needs it.
