Your vendor took the money and didn't ship. We take over and get it live.

When the agency that built your platform is gone, late, or holding the code hostage, we recover the code, the accounts and the keys, and put it in production. In one week we tell you what's salvageable and what it costs to finish. We also tell you whether it's worth staying with your vendor.

We recovered the UAE's national employment platform after the original vendor never launched it. Today it runs with UAE Pass, around 20,000 registered job seekers and a team of four.

Our principal has run data pipelines at terabyte scale for global telcos, put machine-learning models into production at search scale, and served as CTO across multiple startups. We don't sell hours. We sell a system that works in production.

Stabilise first. Improve second. Add AI last.

Adding AI to a broken system makes it break faster. So we work in the opposite order to most vendors.

  1. 1

    Access

    You give us read access to the repository, the cloud accounts and the domains. If your vendor won't hand them over, we help you get them back.

  2. 2

    Rescue Assessment

    One week, fixed fee. We map what works, what's broken and what's missing. You get a written report with the cost to finish, a verdict on your vendor and what to do first. It's usable with us or without us.

  3. 3

    Recovery

    Fixed price, defined scope. We stabilise it, finish it and ship it. Every milestone ends with a working demo. No hourly billing.

  4. 4

    Keep it alive

    Optional fractional CTO retainer. We run the team, own the roadmap and report to your board. Only then do we add AI.

Fixed scope. Fixed price. In this order.

We don't sell hours. Every engagement has a scope and a price agreed before we start.

AI Sprint

$20K – $50K
4 to 6 weeks · Fixed fee

95% of AI pilots never reach production, and the cause is almost never the model. It's the data and the systems around it. We only build AI on systems that already run: support agents, document parsing pipelines, predictive analytics. Fixed price, measurable ROI.

What we do

Software Rescue & Recovery

When the vendor that built your system is gone or holding it hostage, we recover the code, the accounts and the keys, and put it back in production. Proven on a national platform.

Fractional CTO & Tech Leadership

Technical direction on demand: team structure, engineering standards, and a roadmap tied to business goals.

Data Engineering & Infrastructure

Clean data first. ETL and streaming pipelines built for systems that have to carry AI later.

AI Integration

LLMs and predictive models deployed into operations that already work. Practical use cases only, measured by ROI.

Cloud Architecture

Migration of fragile infrastructure to fault-tolerant AWS and GCP environments.

Dawlati - National employment platform (UAE)

The situation

A large external vendor spent the budget on the UAE's national employment platform and never got it into production. The client had nothing live.

What we did

We took over the codebase, rebuilt the database architecture, moved the infrastructure to AWS and added hybrid search with ML-powered job matching. We integrated UAE Pass, the national digital identity.

House Group - AdTech intelligence

The situation

Unified reporting across ad platforms was impossible. Metrics were aggregated by hand.

What we did

We built a real-time metrics pipeline on Google Cloud Run and Pub/Sub, automated multi-platform dispatching, and put every campaign on one dashboard.
