Services

Bounded, concrete, measurable.

Four ways to work together, from a two-week diagnostic to ongoing leadership. Each is scoped up front and judged against outcomes, not hours.

Engineering Velocity Audit

Diagnostic · 2 weeks · fixed fee

A short, low-risk diagnostic for engineering leaders who want to know, with evidence, why their team isn’t shipping as fast as it should.

From £8,000

Full details

Eight capability areas assessed against an anchored rubric
DORA outcome metrics benchmarked against the industry
A written report a board can read and a team can act on
Prioritised roadmap across quick wins, 30 to 90 days, and beyond

CI/CD & Delivery Modernization

Delivery · 8 to 16 weeks · milestone-based

Take a team from “we know our deployment system is holding us back” to “we deploy multiple times a day, safely, with confidence.”

From £35,000, scoped to services and team size

Discuss a modernization

Rebuild the pipeline to fast, reliable best practice for your stack
Automated deployment with progressive delivery and a tested rollback path
Database migration safety and deploy-time observability
Capability transferred to your team, not dependency on me

Architecture Simplification

Structural · 12 to 28 weeks · milestone-based

Reduce the structural complexity that has accumulated in your systems and is now demonstrably slowing delivery. Incremental, never a rewrite.

From £55,000, scoped to problems and teams affected

Discuss an engagement

Map the architecture and name 2 to 4 specific structural problems with real costs
Pilot the first restructure on a bounded slice, then generalise the pattern
Guardrails and ADRs so the structure doesn’t drift back
Verifiable structural targets, tracked delivery outcomes

Fractional Engineering Leadership

Ongoing · monthly retainer · quarterly reviews

Staff+/principal-level engineering judgement for companies that need senior technical leadership but not yet a full-time hire at that level.

Monthly retainer from £10,000

Start a conversation

Strategic engineering input and major architecture/platform decisions
Establishing engineering standards, practices, and delivery discipline
Coaching for EMs, staff engineers, and the CTO/VPE
A defined, capped time commitment of 4, 6, or 8 days a month

Not sure which fits?

Most engagements start with the audit. It answers “what to invest in” before you commit to anything larger. A 30-minute call is the fastest way to find out.
