Johannesburg · London · Engineering for Regulated Industries
Software that works in regulated industries.
We build and run production-grade platforms for regulated businesses in South Africa and the UK, where getting it wrong is expensive.
Selected Work
Platforms in production.
Platform Engineering · POPIARegulated SA Fintech Platform
Production-grade multi-tenant platform for a South African fintech, with POPIA compliance designed in from the schema up. Built, deployed, and owned end to end.
Compliance · MCOBMCOB-Compliant Mortgage Technology
Mortgage technology for an FCA-regulated UK lender meeting Consumer Duty obligations, audit trails on affordability assessments, ESIS generation, and customer communications.
What We Do
Nine ways we work with you.
Platform Engineering
Production-grade SaaS and internal platforms. Architecture, build, and ongoing ownership from database schema to deployment pipeline.
Explore 02AI Integration
AI that fits into your existing stack. Document processing, RAG pipelines, and workflow automation, with POPIA and FCA guardrails built in from day one.
Explore 03Technical Strategy
The CTO perspective without the full-time salary. Architecture decisions, vendor evaluation, and technical due diligence on a retainer your finance team can approve.
Explore 04Compliance Systems
Software that passes the audit before the auditors arrive. POPIA, FCA, MCOB, and FSCA requirements built into the architecture, not bolted on after.
Explore 05Performance Tracking
Dashboards, analytics pipelines, and reporting systems that give leadership real numbers, not summaries of summaries built on stale exports.
Explore 06AI Agent Systems
Purpose-built AI agents for operations, document handling, internal routing, customer triage. Production-grade systems, not proof-of-concept demos.
Explore 07Web Design & Campaigns
Agency-grade web design for companies that cannot afford generic. Marketing sites, campaign pages, and digital presence built to convert.
Explore 08Managed Microsoft 365
We own your Microsoft environment and run it to an audit-ready standard, secure, compliant, and ready for scrutiny, every month.
Explore 09Retainer Partnership
A dedicated engineering team, billed monthly. No project-end exits. No knowledge transfer taxes. Your platform, continuously owned by the team that built it.
ExploreWho We Work With
Built for businesses under real scrutiny.
Regulated fintech & lending
South African and UK financial services firms where POPIA, FSCA, FCA, and MCOB obligations are not optional, and where a failed audit is an existential event.
Operations-heavy businesses
Companies drowning in document handling, routing, and manual triage who need production AI and platforms that hold up at operational scale, with full audit trails.
Founders scaling past the prototype
Teams who built something that works but now need it to survive production, architecture, compliance, and ownership from a team that stays for the long run.
From the Blog
What we're writing about.
AI for OperationsMoving AI agents from proof-of-concept to production.
The gap between a demo that impresses and a system that runs 50,000 times a month without supervision is not a matter of scale. It's a matter of design.
Platform EngineeringWhy we build regulated platforms on Azure, not AWS.
Tenancy, identity, and compliance posture decide the stack long before performance does. For regulated workloads, that answer is rarely AWS.
Compliance EngineeringConsumer Duty at the code level: what it actually requires.
Consumer Duty is usually read as a policy document. Most of it is, in fact, a set of engineering requirements waiting to be written down.
