Data engineering & AI projects

Turning your data into something your product and your team can trust

Our work covers both sides of the equation: helping you build reliable AI products and helping your engineering team use AI safely and effectively. We treat AI as an engineering problem, not a magic trick.

Data engineering and AI

AI for products

Making AI features real, reliable and shippable

Most AI products collapse long before a model ever sees production. A clever model on top of messy, drifting, unowned data becomes a maintenance nightmare. So we start where it actually matters: your data.

Getting your data to a trustworthy state

Reliable AI only works when the underlying data behaves predictably. That means data you can explain, trust and audit, supported by ingestion that does not quietly swallow garbage on a bad day. It also means pipelines that run the same way everywhere, not just on the machine of the one engineer who remembers how it works, and ownership that survives handovers, holidays and the inevitable team change.

We help you establish what "good enough" actually means for your product and create the monitoring and processes to recognise the moment when your data stops being good enough. The aim is not perfection. The aim is stability you can build on without crossing your fingers.

Pragmatic, stack-agnostic engineering

We are not religious about tool choices. Your constraints, team and maintenance reality determine the stack. Depending on your situation, that might mean:

  • Lightweight Python services with a sane ingestion layer
  • Airflow orchestrating a proper data pipeline
  • Spark when volume forces your hand
  • Snowflake when your warehouse needs to become a real product backbone

The logo does not matter. What matters is that the system is understandable, observable and owned by the people who will live with it.

From early idea to shipped AI feature

We take you from 'we'd like to do something with AI' to 'customers rely on this every day'. That means making the right decisions early and building the boring-but-essential machinery around it.

Data pipelines that work

Ingestion that does not lie. Pipelines that run everywhere, not just on your laptop. QA gates that catch issues before they contaminate your roadmap.

Classic machine learning

When you need prediction, classification or recommendation, we help you choose the right approach, build the training pipeline and deploy models that actually work in production.

RAG & LLM systems

If your product needs real-time knowledge or smart retrieval over messy corpora, we build RAG systems, vector databases, hybrid search and evaluation loops that work outside the demo.

Monitoring & drift detection

We treat retrieval quality with the same seriousness as data quality: measurable, monitored, never hand-waved just because the prototype looked clever.

AI for engineering teams

AI as leverage, not chaos

AI will not magically fix (or replace) a team. But used well, it removes friction and gives good engineers the leverage they deserve. Used badly, it turns your codebase into AI-generated duct tape. We have seen both. Our job is to get you the first one.

AI tools that help, not slow down

We help integrate productivity tools like Cursor or Windsurf with intention rather than hype. CLI agents that handle refactors, scaffolding and migrations.

PR review bots done right

Bots that catch the boring stuff consistently, so human reviews stay focused on architecture, correctness and intent.

Documentation that sticks

Documentation helpers so knowledge stops evaporating the second someone goes heads-down on a feature.

Clear boundaries

We define what belongs to AI and what must stay human, where guardrails live, and how to review AI-generated code without lowering standards.

Workflow integration

We embed with your team, pair, and actively shape the workflow around your standards. Healthy AI adoption is a workflow problem, not a tooling problem.

Long-term code health

We prevent the "six months later everything feels cursed" syndrome. The outcome is a team that ships faster without losing control of its codebase.

Making practical automation part of daily engineering

AI tools that help your team, not slow them down.

AI becomes valuable when it quietly removes friction instead of becoming a novelty toy everyone pokes at for a week. We help integrate real productivity tools like Cursor or Windsurf with intention rather than hype.

We set up CLI agents that take refactors, scaffolding, migrations and boilerplate work off your plate. We add PR review bots that catch the boring stuff consistently, so human reviews stay focused on architecture, correctness and intent. We even integrate documentation helpers so knowledge stops evaporating the second someone goes heads-down on a feature.

This is not about replacing engineers. It is about protecting their flow, their craft and their ability to build well.

Embedding the right guardrails

Healthy AI adoption is a workflow problem, not a tooling problem.

We embed with your team, pair, and actively shape the workflow around your standards. We help you define:

  • What belongs in AI and what belongs in humans
  • Where guardrails live
  • How to review AI-generated code without eroding quality
  • How to prevent "six months later everything feels cursed" syndrome

The outcome is a team that ships faster, learns faster and does not lose control of its own codebase.

Why work with us

Whether you are building AI features into an existing SaaS or launching an AI-first product from scratch, we bring senior product and engineering judgement to the full chain.

Happy clients

We work with companies that want to get their data and AI right. Here are examples of how our approach translated into real results.

Keeping buildings and spaces in good, safe and clean condition

Fixform

Keeping buildings and spaces in good, safe and clean condition

After their technical co-founder departed unexpectedly, we stepped in with two staff engineers to build a quality-first MVP using Inertia.js, Vue, and Laravel. We established robust CI/CD pipelines, implemented comprehensive testing, and mentored the team through knowledge transfer.

One app to run your real estate agency

SweepBright

One app to run your real estate agency

We helped develop their comprehensive platform through API-first development in PHP/Laravel, enabling real estate agents to manage listings, engage leads, and automate matching. We established the technical team from the ground up with pair programming, code reviews, and comprehensive documentation.

Frequently asked questions

No. You need good enough data that is owned, understood and monitored. Perfection is a myth. Predictability is the goal.

Ideas and insights

Getting started with performance testing

Performance bugs erode trust quietly until users explode. Three pragmatic steps help you catch slowdowns early: explore real bottlenecks with Sentry, test with production-sized data, and add lightweight API load tests.

How to pragmatically leverage AI as a startup

If you believe what you see on LinkedIn, startups don't need employees anymore, real founders just have agents building their companies. You write a prompt, fire off the agent, and wait for customers. In reality, you get a vague workflow that produces a mediocre demo at best.
