Engagement Shape

One headline engagement, three ways we go deeper. Most enterprise relationships start with the first and grow into the rest.

Fractional CTO Where most engagements start

The senior technical voice you'd hire if you could find them.

Senior technical leadership embedded with your team. Architecture decisions, technology strategy, and the kind of judgment you'd hire if you could find the person.

  • Architecture reviews + decisions of record
  • Technology strategy + buy-vs-build calls
  • Hiring panel + technical interview design
  • Board-ready engineering reporting

AI consulting & engineering

Frontier-model integrations, agentic systems, custom RAG and evals. We don't just talk about AI - we ship it into production for the companies whose names you know.

Cloud infrastructure & hardening

AWS, GCP, the works. Reviews, refactors, and the kind of quiet, paranoid engineering that keeps critical infrastructure boring - exactly how it should be.

On-call execution

When the threats get weird and the timelines get short, we're the team that picks up. Weekday evenings, weekends, launch windows - we've done the hard ones.

Why Enterprise Teams Pick Us

Fast where it counts. Quiet where it matters.

  1. 01

    We protect what matters most

    Some of the most-targeted brands on the internet trust us with the systems behind their public surface. We won't name them on a landing page - that's sort of the point - but the work speaks for itself.

  2. 02

    We move at the speed of executive priorities

    When the CEO needs an answer by Monday, we don't book a discovery call for next quarter. Sprint cycles measured in weeks. Decisions measured in hours.

  3. 03

    We're paranoid in the right ways

    Threat modeling, dependency reviews, blast-radius analysis, and the rest of the unsexy work that means the call you never had to make is the one your CISO appreciates the most.

War Stories

The hard ones, delivered.

Threat response

Held the line against nation-state threat actors.

When sustained, sophisticated activity targeted a top-tier venture firm's cloud infrastructure, our team led containment, hardening, and the ongoing posture work that followed. Six years in, zero business-disrupting incidents and zero customer-facing fallout.

High-stakes release

On stage with IBM, not behind a feature flag.

Built and shipped a production release in lockstep with IBM's flagship annual keynote. An unmovable date, a global audience, and zero tolerance for staging-only demos. The talk went out live and so did the product.

Architecture review

Cleared a Fortune 100 security review on the first pass.

Designed infrastructure that walked into a Fortune 100 enterprise security review and walked out with zero blocking findings. The kind of architecture that makes a CISO's day quiet - exactly how it should be.

Note from Connor Available

Hey -

If you've scrolled this far, you've probably already self-qualified. The companies we work with don't need to be sold - they need to know we'll show up.

So here's the offer. 30 minutes. No pitch deck. Bring the messy version of the problem - the one you'd normally only describe in a leadership offsite - and I'll tell you whether we can help.

If we can't, I'll tell you who can.
