WE CODE FIRE

# Principal and senior engineers who embed with your team and  ship what matters.

26 years of building what others couldn't, fixing what others broke, and shipping what actually matters. AI/ML, full-stack, infrastructure — we've seen the problem you're about to hit, and we know how to solve it.

## Major Aerospace OEM

On-device machine learning, computer vision systems, and recommendation engines for a major aerospace manufacturer. Production ML at the edge where reliability isn't optional — the kind of work that separates real ML engineering from demo-day prototypes.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

## We've seen the problem you're about to hit.

### "We have an ML initiative and nobody senior enough to lead it."

You can't hire fast enough and you can't afford to learn by failing in production. We bring 8 years of production AI/ML — computer vision, NLP, pipelines, edge deployment — and we're shipping code in your repo within days.

### "We're shipping but we need senior firepower — yesterday."

Your team is good but stretched. You need principal-level engineers who can drop into your codebase, your standups, your Slack — and be productive in days, not months. We embed until the work is done and leave your team better than we found it.

NEW

### "Our vibecoded app just got hacked."

You shipped fast with AI-generated code. Now something's broken — or about to be. We audit the architecture, security, and maintainability of your codebase and give you a prioritized plan to fix it. 26 years of knowing where the bodies are buried.

### "We need a technical co-pilot who's been through this before."

Architecture going sideways. Team scaling faster than your processes. Vendors pitching AI solutions you can't evaluate. You don't need another full-time exec — you need 26 years of pattern recognition, available when the decisions matter.

HOW WE WORK

## We embed. We ship. No handoffs.

We don't throw deliverables over a wall. Our engineers join your standups, your Slack, your codebase. We're on the team until the work is done — and we leave your team better than we found it.

### Understand

We dig into your codebase, your architecture, your constraints. No generic discovery phases — we get specific fast.

### Embed

Our engineers join your team. Same tools, same rituals, same accountability. Indistinguishable from your own people.

### Ship

Production code, not slide decks. We measure success by what's running, not what was presented.
