How we price with the Augmented Consultant model: Senior capacity + AI acceleration = enterprise results at startup speed.
We use two models:
for well-defined scopes (fixed milestones)
for ongoing product evolution (T&M with velocity guardrails)

Free Scope Review2-week Discovery Sprint: requirements kick-off meeting, technical audit, architecture roadmap, initial scope + estimate.
Daily Slack standups, bi-weekly demos, weekly capacity planning. PMs trained in async-first collaboration.
Core overlap hours (9–12 EST / 3–6pm CET), detailed Slack updates, recorded demos for async review.
Detailed story point estimation by senior engineers + 20% buffer. Velocity tracked against historical benchmarks.
Change requests flow through PM → engineering → re-estimation. No surprises via weekly scope reviews.
Flexible reprioritization within sprint capacity. Major scope shifts trigger a new Discovery Sprint.
Named senior engineers from day 1 (6–12+ yrs exp), not juniors learning on your dime.
Yes, embedded model with knowledge transfer, code review, paired programming standard.
Full code audits available. Legacy modernization is 30% of our pipeline.
You own everything we build. Clean IP transfer upon final payment.
SOC2 principles, GDPR compliance, pen testing for regulated industries.
Standard NDAs signed instantly. MSAs with standard terms available.

Book 15-min callWe believe strong engineering should be transparent.
That's why we maintain and contribute to open-source projects that reflect how we design, test, and scale real-world systems.
Designed for
Modern hiring teams that need a scalable, automation-first system to manage candidate pipelines, technical assessments, and decision-making, without vendor lock-in or brittle integrations.
What this shows:
Production-grade architecture: Built using Clean Architecture (hexagonal), with clear separation between business logic and external integrations
Vendor-agnostic design: Assessment providers (e.g. Coderbyte) are fully swappable without impacting core systems
Event-driven, real-time workflows: Webhooks trigger automated updates, scoring, and notifications without manual intervention
Scalable & resilient infrastructure: Reactive, non-blocking backend (Spring WebFlux) designed for high concurrency and reliability
Security & compliance by design: GDPR tooling (data export, erasure), role-based access (JWT), and protected public endpoints
Operational efficiency: Multi-channel notifications, automated data lifecycle management, and integrated workflows (e.g. Asana)
This directly informs how we build for clients:
We design systems that don't break when a vendor changes
We build modular architectures that are easy to extend, test, and hand over
We prioritize automation over manual ops, reducing long-term cost and human error
We implement compliance and data privacy as core features, not afterthoughts
We deliver systems that are observable, maintainable, and built to scale from day one (applied in client platforms across hiring, workflow automation, and internal tooling)
