SERVICE / CONSULTING

Software development consulting from engineers who ship.

Architecture reviews, tech stack choices, project estimates and AI strategy from senior engineers. Free tech advice during project estimation, and an honest recommendation even if we are not the right team.

01 / OVERVIEW

Consulting

Bad technical decisions are expensive because they are made early and paid for later. The wrong stack. An architecture that cannot scale. An estimate that was a guess. We help you make those decisions with 15+ years of enterprise engineering behind them, across banking, aerospace, identity verification, telecom and e-commerce.

Our promise is simple: we will recommend what is best for you, even if we cannot take on your project. Free tech advice is part of every free project roadmap, and it comes from the senior engineers who would build the software, not from a sales team.

02 / ADVICE

Free tech advice during project estimation

Every project starts with a free roadmap delivered within 24 hours on business days: a detailed cost breakdown, a timeline projection and technology recommendations. That is real consulting, not a sales brochure. If your idea is better served by an off-the-shelf tool, we tell you. If another stack or another team fits better, we tell you that too.

You leave the conversation with a clearer plan, whether or not you hire us. That is the point.

03 / ADVICE

Architecture reviews and tech stack choices

An architecture review looks at your code, infrastructure and delivery process and shows where the risks are: performance bottlenecks, security gaps, scaling limits, dependencies that will hurt next year. You get a prioritized list of findings and concrete fixes, not a slide deck of generic best practices.

Stack choices get the same treatment. Angular or React, React Native or Ionic, Electron or web, cloud or dedicated EU hardware: we compare the options against your team, budget and timeline. We have shipped all of them in production, from a ČSOB trading application to the React Native successor for Rocket Lawyer.

  • Code and architecture reviews with prioritized findings
  • Technology stack selection for web, mobile, desktop and AI
  • Hosting and infrastructure recommendations, including GDPR
  • Second opinions on vendor proposals and estimates
04 / ADVICE

Project estimates and AI strategy consulting

Estimates fail when nobody breaks the work down. We split scope into features and milestones, name the unknowns and price them honestly. You can use our estimate to plan a budget, compare vendors or decide what goes into the first release.

AI strategy starts with your processes and data. We identify where AI actually saves time or money, whether self-hosted models make sense, and what a realistic first project looks like. We run AI in production ourselves, including our Namiru.ai support platform, so the advice comes from practice. When it is time to build, see custom AI development.

FAQ

Questions
answered.

A

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. Tech advice during project estimation and the project roadmap cost nothing and create no obligation. Deeper work, such as a full architecture review of a large existing codebase, is scoped separately, and we tell you upfront before any paid work starts. There are no surprise invoices.
B

What if you are not the right team for our project?

Then we say so. If your project needs skills we do not offer, or an off-the-shelf product would serve you better, we recommend that instead. We would rather give honest advice and earn trust than take on a project we cannot deliver well.
C

What does an architecture review cover?

Code quality and structure, security, performance, scalability, infrastructure, deployment pipeline and technical debt. The result is a prioritized list of findings with concrete fixes and rough effort for each. It is most useful before a big investment, after taking over a codebase, or when delivery keeps slowing down.
D

Can you review an estimate or proposal from another vendor?

Yes. We check whether the scope is complete, the architecture fits the problem and the timeline is realistic. You get a clear list of gaps and questions to ask the vendor. We have no interest in inflating problems; if the proposal is solid, we tell you.
E

Do you give advice on AI adoption?

Yes. AI strategy consulting covers use case selection, data readiness, self-hosted versus hosted models, privacy and GDPR, and build versus buy. We build agents, custom MCP servers and self-hosted AI in production, so the recommendations are grounded in what actually works.
F

Do you sign an NDA before we share details?

Yes, gladly. A large share of our work is under NDA for clients in banking, aerospace, identity verification and telecom. Share as much as you are comfortable with up front, and we will sign an NDA before you send anything confidential.
