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

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.
