Services

Nine things we are
brought in for.

Every engagement starts with a free five-minute call, then a written quotation with fixed scope. No discovery invoices, no open-ended retainers you did not agree to, and hardware markup kept lean.

On the ground

The work, as it actually gets done

These are the environments we are called into. The photographs are left in the colour they were taken, because a blue server tower that has been tinted sepia is not the room we work in. The edge that faces the copy dissolves into the page rather than sitting in a box on it.

Database & Data Pipelines

Tuning a live database and standing up an ingestion pipeline are the same job seen from two ends. We take the slow query apart, find out why it is slow, and fix the cause rather than the symptom. Then we build the path that feeds it.

  • PostgreSQL
  • Oracle
  • Kafka
  • NiFi
  • dbt

02

Telecom & Fibre Optics

Backbone design, FTTH delivery, splicing, optical power management and carrier transmission across OLT, NetEngine 8000, DWDM, OSN and STM platforms. Measured on site, not assumed from a spreadsheet.

  • FTTH
  • DWDM
  • OLT
  • OSN
  • OTDR

03

Switching & Routing

The layer between the fibre and the server. Segmentation, routing, failover, and a network that behaves the same at 03:00 as it does at 10:00 on a Monday.

  • Cisco
  • MikroTik
  • Juniper
  • VLAN
  • BGP

IT Support & Maintenance

Linux and Windows estates, monitoring, patching, incident response and documented handover. The reason problems stop happening, rather than just stop mattering.

  • Linux
  • Windows
  • Grafana
  • Prometheus
  • Patching

3D Design & Visualisation

Rack elevations, room layouts and as-built drawings produced before anything is ordered, so the thing that arrives is the thing that was designed. Rendered in-house, and handed over as a pack you can build from.

  • Blender
  • AutoCAD
  • 3D Renders
  • Walkthroughs

06

Web, Embedded Systems & IoT Development

Websites and applications that load fast, read well, and can be maintained by your own team afterwards. And the firmware behind the connected things: boards built and burned on our own bench, sensors read properly, and the data landing somewhere it can be acted on.

  • Arduino
  • ESP32
  • Raspberry Pi
  • MQTT
  • Home Assistant

Database Performance

Queries that used to take minutes now take seconds. We find the bottleneck (missing indexes, bad execution plans, resource contention) and fix it, with measured before-and-after evidence.

  • PostgreSQL
  • Oracle
  • SQL Server
  • MySQL
  • MongoDB

High Availability & DR

Failover clusters, replication, and backup strategies that actually work when you need them. Includes live restore tests against your stated RTO and RPO.

  • Failover
  • Replication
  • Patroni
  • PgBackRest
  • Restore Testing

Migrations & Upgrades

Move between platforms, versions and clouds with zero downtime. Compatibility matrices, validated cutover playbooks, full rollback plans, and no surprises on migration day.

  • Oracle → Postgres
  • SQL Server
  • Version Upgrades
  • Rollback

Pipelines & ETL

Robust ingestion and transformation using NiFi, Kafka, Spark and dbt. Designed for scale, observability and recovery, not just happy-path throughput.

  • Apache NiFi
  • Apache Kafka
  • Apache Spark
  • dbt

Architecture Review

End-to-end review of topology, schema design, capacity planning and security posture. A clear report with actionable recommendations, not just theory.

  • Capacity
  • Security
  • Topology

3D Design & Visualisation

Rack elevations, fibre routes and site layouts rendered in 3D, so proposals and handover packs are understood before they are signed.

  • Blender
  • AutoCAD
  • 3D Renders
  • Walkthroughs

Web, Embedded Systems & IoT Development

Fast, accessible websites and web applications for businesses, institutions and NGOs, and the firmware and connected devices behind them. Built to load fast, rank well, and be maintainable by your team after handover.
