Real Problems. Real Results.
A selection of engagements that illustrate how we work and the outcomes we deliver.
FinTech Platform Modernisation
Client: A mid-stage financial technology company processing payments across Southeast Europe.
Challenge: The legacy monolith was reaching its limits — deployment cycles took weeks, scaling was expensive, and developer productivity was declining as the codebase grew.
What We Did: We worked alongside the client's engineering team to decompose the monolith into a set of focused microservices, introduced CI/CD pipelines, and established automated testing practices that gave the team confidence to ship faster.
Results:
- Deployment frequency increased from bi-weekly to multiple times per day
- Infrastructure costs reduced by 35% through right-sized services
- Developer onboarding time cut from 3 weeks to 5 days
Healthcare Security Compliance Programme
Client: A regional healthcare provider handling sensitive patient data across multiple facilities.
Challenge: An upcoming regulatory audit revealed significant gaps in the organisation's security controls and documentation. They needed to achieve ISO 27001 readiness within six months.
What We Did: We conducted a comprehensive gap analysis, developed the required policy framework, implemented technical controls for data protection, and trained staff on security awareness and incident response procedures.
Results:
- Achieved ISO 27001 certification on the first audit attempt
- Identified and remediated 23 critical security vulnerabilities
- Established ongoing security review processes that survived beyond the engagement
E-Commerce Delivery Transformation
Client: A fast-growing e-commerce company whose development teams were struggling with missed deadlines and unclear priorities.
Challenge: Despite talented engineers, the organisation's delivery was unpredictable. Teams operated in silos, work-in-progress was excessive, and stakeholder confidence was low.
What We Did: We introduced Kanban-based flow management, established cross-functional delivery squads, and worked with leadership to create a transparent prioritisation framework. Coaching was hands-on and embedded within teams over a three-month period.
Results:
- Lead time for features reduced by 60%
- Work-in-progress limited from 40+ items to under 15
- Stakeholder satisfaction scores improved significantly within one quarter
SaaS Product Architecture & Launch
Client: A startup building a B2B SaaS platform for supply chain visibility.
Challenge: The founding team had domain expertise but limited technical leadership. They needed to go from concept to a production-ready MVP that could handle real enterprise clients.
What We Did: We defined the system architecture, set up the development environment and CI/CD pipeline, and led the build of the core platform alongside two developers from the client's team. We also established coding standards and review practices that would scale with the team.
Results:
- MVP launched on schedule and onboarded first paying customers within 8 weeks
- Architecture supported 10x growth without major rework
- Client successfully raised their Series A with the product as proof of execution
Drone Surveillance Prototype for Border Security
Client: A European defence agency exploring autonomous surveillance capabilities for border monitoring operations.
Challenge: The agency needed a proof-of-concept system that could ingest live video feeds from multiple UAVs, apply basic anomaly detection, and present a unified tactical picture to operators — all within a tight six-week feasibility window.
What We Did: We designed and built a working prototype integrating real-time video stream processing, a lightweight machine learning pipeline for motion-based anomaly flagging, and a map-based operator dashboard. The system was demonstrated using simulated feeds and validated against the agency's operational scenarios.
Results:
- Functional prototype delivered within the 6-week deadline
- Demonstrated processing of 8 concurrent video streams with sub-second latency
- Prototype secured follow-on funding for a full-scale pilot programme
Zero-Trust Network Architecture for a Financial Group
Client: A mid-sized financial services group operating across three EU countries with a mixed on-premises and cloud infrastructure.
Challenge: Following a near-miss phishing incident, the board mandated a shift to a zero-trust security model. The existing flat network architecture, legacy VPN access, and inconsistent identity management made lateral movement trivially easy for any compromised account.
What We Did: We conducted a comprehensive network segmentation assessment, designed a zero-trust architecture based on identity-aware proxies and micro-segmentation, and led the phased implementation across the group's critical systems. We also rolled out conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, and continuous monitoring.
Results:
- Eliminated lateral movement risk across 90% of the network within 4 months
- Reduced VPN-related support tickets by 70% by replacing legacy VPN with identity-aware access
- Passed an independent penetration test with zero critical findings post-implementation
