Forward Engineering
Engineers in your team, not consultants in a meeting.
We work inside your team rather than adjacent to it: same repository, same standup, same on-call reality. Recommendations that nobody has capacity to execute are not a deliverable.
The problem
Traditional consulting delivers a document and leaves. The recommendations are sound, nobody has capacity to act on them, and six months later nothing has changed except the invoice.
What we deliver
- Embedded senior engineers working inside your team, your tools and your standups
- Greenfield system design and build, from specification through production
- Legacy modernization — re-platforming, decomposition and technical debt reduction
- Knowledge transfer as a deliverable, so capability stays after we leave
- Technical leadership and mentoring for growing engineering teams
- in production engineering
- 20 yrs
- engineers embedded in your team

Questions
- How is this different from hiring a contractor?
- Scope and seniority. You get an engineer who has run production estates for two decades and can make architectural calls, not a pair of hands waiting for tickets. You also get our network behind them when a problem needs a specialist.
- What is the minimum engagement?
- Embedded work needs enough continuity to be worth the onboarding — typically a month or more. Shorter pieces are better served by our architecture or review engagements.
- Do you work remotely?
- Yes, by default. We are based in Zagreb and work with teams across the EU and further afield. On-site is available where an engagement genuinely calls for it.
