What we do

A senior team for every part of your stack.

We don't sell hours — we ship outcomes. Each engagement is staffed with practitioners who have run these systems at scale, not generalists reading from a deck.

Cloud & Platform Engineering

Multi-account AWS landing zones, Kubernetes, IaC with Terraform & Pulumi, FinOps that actually cuts your bill.

  • • AWS, GCP, Azure migrations
  • • Platform engineering & IDPs
  • • Cost optimization & FinOps

Applied AI & ML

From RAG copilots to production training pipelines — we de-risk the model choice and ship something measurable in 90 days.

  • • LLM apps, RAG & agents
  • • Eval harnesses & safety
  • • ML platforms & MLOps

Cybersecurity & Compliance

SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP readiness with the same people who'll fix the findings. Threat modeling that survives contact with reality.

  • • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness
  • • Penetration testing
  • • Identity & zero-trust

Data Engineering

Lakehouse architectures, streaming pipelines, contract-driven warehouses. Your analysts stop firefighting and start shipping insight.

  • • Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery
  • • dbt & data contracts
  • • Streaming with Kafka / Flink

Product & Design

Discovery sprints, prototypes that ship, design systems that scale across portfolios. Lovable UX, backed by research.

  • • Product strategy
  • • UX research & service design
  • • Design systems

Fractional CTO / VPE

For Series A–C teams without a full-time tech leader. Roadmap, hiring, vendor calls — we hold the seat until you fill it.

  • • Technical due diligence
  • • Eng org design
  • • Architecture review boards

How we work

Embedded teams, transparent prices, no theater.

We embed 2–6 person pods that own a problem end-to-end. You see the same faces in standup as on the deploy. Status is pushed to a shared dashboard, not a slide deck.

See the engagement playbook
  1. 1

    Discovery (1–2 weeks)

    Stakeholder interviews, system inventory, success metrics. Fixed-fee, written deliverable, no obligation to continue.

  2. 2

    Pilot (4–6 weeks)

    Smallest meaningful slice in production. Proves architecture, builds team muscle, exposes the real constraints.

  3. 3

    Scale & Transition

    Pair with your engineers, hand off the runbooks, leave the system better than we found it. Optional retainer for advisory.

From our clients

The work speaks for itself. Here's what they say about it.

"Ivate cut our AWS bill by 41% in a single quarter while we were doubling traffic. The pod stayed embedded long enough to teach our team how to maintain the savings."

VP Infrastructure, NorthBank

"We needed to ship a regulated AI product in a market we didn't fully understand. They brought the evals, the safety reviews, and crucially — the willingness to say no to bad ideas."

CTO, Helix Diagnostics

"The honest answer is they made our engineering team better. Code reviews are sharper, our incident retros actually produce changes, and we hire to a higher bar now."
