This is the practice the rest of the company was built on top of. The technology list is not the interesting part, what matters is whether the thing works, gets used, and can still be changed a year from now.
A feature list is easy to satisfy and easy to get wrong. We start from what the product is supposed to change for the person using it, then work backwards into the build.
Dashboards, portals, internal tools and customer platforms. React and Next.js on the front, Node or Python behind, with the state and performance work that stops complex screens from getting slow.
React Native and Flutter for most products, native Swift or Kotlin where the platform APIs demand it. Store submission, release channels and crash reporting included rather than assumed.
Research, flows, prototypes and a design system engineers can build from without guessing. Designers sit inside the build team, not upstream of it.
The half of a product nobody demos: payments, CRM, ERP, identity, messaging, and the third-party service whose documentation was last accurate in 2019.
Schemas designed for the questions you will ask in year two. Most of the painful rewrites we get called into started as a data modelling decision, not a framework choice.
Taking over a codebase from a team that has moved on. Comprehension and risk pass first, stabilise what breaks most often, then improve incrementally. A rewrite is a last resort, not an opening position.
Tested on the hardware and network speeds your users actually have, not just the newest phone on office wifi.
Documented, conventional and tested. The next engineer to open the repository should not need a call with us first.
Performance budgets set early and checked in CI, because retrofitting speed into a mature product costs several times what building it in did.
A named engineering lead who knows your product, stays on it, and answers the awkward questions directly rather than routing them.
We pin down the users, the jobs and the constraints, then write a build plan with a fixed first milestone. Anything we think you should not build gets said out loud here.
A working deployment at the end of every sprint on an environment you can click through. Scope changes are welcome and always arrive with their trade-off attached.
Release, monitoring, and a backlog reprioritised from what real usage shows rather than what the original plan assumed.
