Specialist software and hardware development
We're a Kent consultancy building custom web platforms and the hardware behind them. You work directly with the engineers writing the code, from the first conversation through to launch and support.
What we do
Two disciplines, one team that ships both
We build the software and, when a project needs it, the hardware it runs on. Honest advice first, then development through to launch and support.
Web platforms & software
Custom web apps and back-ends for high-traffic commercial workloads and internal tooling.
- Next.js front-ends
- Python (FastAPI, GraphQL) and Rust services
- PostgreSQL, queues and edge deployment
Hardware & IoT
Schematic and PCB design through to firmware, connectivity and edge deployment.
- KiCad schematic and PCB design
- Firmware in embedded Rust and C
- Cellular, Bluetooth Mesh, Docker and Balena
Phone-recycling platforms
A long-running technical partner to online phone-recycling merchants.
- Comparison back-ends and offers engines
- Merchant dashboards and operations tooling
- Compare and Recycle, Handtec, Clove Recycling
How we engage
Three ways to work with us
Pick the shape that fits the work. We're happy to start with a conversation and tell you which one makes sense.
Project work
Fixed-price development against an agreed scope. We plan it, build it and see it through to a tested, deployed release, with clear milestones at every step.
Consultancy
Scoping, planning, architecture review and second opinions, often before a line of code is written. We're happy to advise on a project we don't end up building.
Retainer
A set allocation of our time each month for maintenance, small features, advice and quick turnarounds, without re-quoting every task.
Selected work
Platforms we've built and still run
Compare and RecycleThe UK's leading recycling comparison platform
We build and run the whole platform: a Next.js storefront, a FastAPI GraphQL backend and Rust services handling 600,000+ requests a day.
Living PillarsCellular irrigation controllers for Canary Wharf
Custom controller hardware, embedded firmware, a Rust cloud platform and a dashboard for hundreds of planted columns, including Canary Wharf's London estate.
Eagle EyePrice intelligence across a building-supplies group
Continuous competitor price scraping, normalised into one schema and surfaced through a dashboard that drives pricing decisions.
Start a conversation
Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you the honest version
Bring a rough idea or a finished spec. We'll talk through the approach, where the risk sits and what it takes to ship, before anyone commits to a line of code.
