Work with us
Engineering partners for systems that can’t afford to be wrong.
We help businesses build, connect, automate, modernize and secure the software they run on — and we stay accountable for it after launch.
01 · Build
Custom platforms and business software
Products, internal tools and commerce systems engineered for the way your business actually works.
Who it helps: Founders, operators and product teams who need software shaped around how their business actually works.
Discuss a custom software projectProblems it addresses
- An idea or MVP that has to become a dependable product
- Off-the-shelf tools forcing the business to bend
- Commerce or marketplace requirements no SaaS covers
Typical engagements
- Product discovery and first production release
- Marketplace and multi-vendor platforms
- Native Apple apps (Mac, iPhone, iPad)
- Internal operational tools
02 · Connect
Integrations that remove the busywork
Accounting systems, APIs and data synchronization that stop teams re-keying the same information.
Who it helps: Businesses whose orders, customers and accounting live in systems that don’t talk to each other.
Discuss an integration projectProblems it addresses
- Staff re-keying orders into accounting
- A legacy or desktop system that can’t be replaced yet
- Partners who each speak a different protocol
Typical engagements
- QuickBooks Desktop and accounting integrations
- API design and partner integrations
- Data synchronization and reconciliation
- Replacing file and email hand-offs with services
03 · Automate
Practical AI and process automation
Search, classification and assistants wired into your existing systems, with people kept in control.
Who it helps: Teams that see a clear opportunity for AI or automation but need it to be safe, useful and maintainable.
Discuss an automation projectProblems it addresses
- Repetitive classification, checking or data entry
- Customers who can’t find what they’re looking for
- AI pilots that never make it to production
Typical engagements
- AI categorization with confidence and human review
- Semantic and hybrid search
- Assistants grounded in your own data
- Managed AI through Mai-AI
04 · Modernize
Legacy systems, carefully evolved
Architecture improvements and performance work that keep the business running while the system changes.
Who it helps: Organizations relying on systems that are critical, aging and risky to change.
Discuss a modernization projectProblems it addresses
- Slow, fragile or poorly understood systems
- Branch or edge systems syncing unreliably
- Architecture that blocks the next stage of growth
Typical engagements
- Architecture reviews and modernization roadmaps
- Incremental re-platforming without a “big bang”
- Performance investigation and tuning
- Reliability and observability improvements
Relevant work
05 · Secure & Scale
Payments and transactional integrity
Payment flows, verification and fulfillment that stay correct when volume, retries and fraud attempts arrive.
Who it helps: Businesses moving money or selling limited inventory, where a mistake costs real revenue.
Discuss a security projectProblems it addresses
- Payments marked paid that weren’t
- Duplicate fulfillment under retries or races
- Overselling capacity at busy moments
Typical engagements
- Payment and 3D Secure integrations
- Verified, idempotent fulfillment flows
- Stripe Connect and payout platforms
- Security reviews of transactional code
Production support
Something is broken in production.
We take on a limited number of urgent engagements: diagnosing failures, stabilizing systems and fixing performance problems in software we didn’t write.
Good fit
- Payment, integration or data-sync failures
- Performance degradation or timeouts
- Java, Play, Nuxt/Vue, Swift and SQL systems
- You can grant access to code, logs and environments
How it works
- Submit the issue with “Production issue” selected.
- We reply to confirm whether we can help, our availability and the scope before any work begins.
- Work is billed as a time-boxed diagnostic, then a fix plan.

Explore Mai-AIHow we work
Engineered to last, not just to launch.
Because we operate our own products, we design for the day after launch: monitoring, support, change.
- 1
Understand
We start with the business problem, the people affected and the systems already in place — before proposing anything.
- 2
Architect
We choose the simplest design that will hold up: clear boundaries, explicit failure handling, nothing clever for its own sake.
- 3
Build
Working software early and often, reviewed with you, tested against the cases that actually go wrong in production.
- 4
Operate
We hand over systems your team can maintain — or keep running them for you, monitored and documented.
