AI engineering for production.
We help ship AI past the demo, into systems your customers depend on, your budget can sustain, and your team can still understand six months later.
For engineering teams at banks, fintechs, and startups where the cost of breakage is real.
What we do
Every engagement is principal-led. No pyramids, no juniors, no handoffs.
AI Cost Optimisation
2-4 weeks
Where your AI spend is coming from and how to bring it down. Token-level analysis, model routing, prompt efficiency, caching, local vs cloud inference evaluation, and implementation of the changes that move the needle.
For teams whose AI costs have outgrown their forecasts.
Get in touchEU AI Act Readiness Assessment
4 weeks
The EU AI Act translated from policy into engineering work. Inventory of your AI systems against high-risk classification, gap analysis against Article 6/9–15 requirements, technical documentation review, and a remediation plan you can execute before August 2, 2026 enforcement.
For teams whose compliance team is asking questions engineering can't yet answer.
Get in touchAgent Architecture & Deployment
4-8 weeks
Agent architecture from design through production. Failure mode analysis, tool integration, observability, evaluation harness, and deployment. Whether that means reviewing an existing system or building it right the first time.
For teams whose agents work in demo and fail in ways nobody can explain.
Get in touchFractional Principal Engineer / CTO
Retainer
Ongoing principal-level engineering judgement on tap. Architecture reviews, technology evaluations, executive briefings, AI-driven development coaching, and async availability for the questions that don't justify a full-time hire.
For companies that need principal-level thinking on AI without the headcount.

Founded by Wille Faler, Principal Engineer with 20 years of building production systems at banks, fintechs, and startups.
Most AI consulting is sold by partners and delivered by juniors. This isn't that. Every engagement is principal-led. No pyramids, no juniors, no handoffs.
Remote-first. Designed to deliver results, not billable hours.
