Choose the system increment
You prioritize a meaningful system increment. We make domain behavior, integration contracts, operational constraints, and acceptance testable.
Experienced engineers combine AI-assisted development with architectural judgment, review, and verification. We choose tools and delivery practices that help your system meet enterprise-grade expectations while maintaining pace.
The backlog can change. The current sprint scope changes through an explicit trade-off.
You prioritize a meaningful system increment. We make domain behavior, integration contracts, operational constraints, and acceptance testable.
Confirm scope, dependencies, responsibilities, engineering capacity, applicable tool costs, and a commercial cap.
Engineers implement the increment with appropriate AI assistance. Review, behavioral tests, scans, and deployment checks create evidence; agent evaluations apply when the system uses agents.
Review working software in the agreed environment, accept the result, and decide what comes next.
A bounded pilot can evaluate 2–4 delivery loops. Complex architecture and dependencies may need a separately scoped discovery and foundation phase. A 10-day loop is a review cadence, not a promise to complete an entire system in 10 days.
The separation gives your team control without requiring you to coordinate every delivery role.
Controls are tailored to the system’s risk. Architectural judgment determines what needs to be checked, how deeply, and by whom.
Acceptance examples, interfaces, and non-functional constraints.
Pattern conformance and human or AI-assisted code review.
Unit and integration tests, permission and failure-path checks, security and dependency scans, and agent evaluations where applicable.
Infrastructure as code, environment validation, and authorized gates.
Logs, metrics, alerts, recovery guidance, and ownership handoff, with model cost visibility where applicable.
Our initial project-delivery scope is AWS greenfield applications with Python APIs and JavaScript or TypeScript web experiences.
Static web on S3 + CloudFront.
Server-rendered applications on ECS / Fargate.
AWS WAF where required.
Python / FastAPI.
Lambda for bounded, event-driven work.
ECS / Fargate for long-running services.
DynamoDB or Aurora PostgreSQL, chosen for workload needs.
S3, SQS, and EventBridge.
CDK / CloudFormation.
IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager.
CloudWatch + OpenTelemetry.
These are reference options, not a mandatory stack. Latency, scale, consistency, recovery, security, and operations drive the choice. Brownfield modernization, additional clouds, and client-managed execution environments require a separate feasibility review.
In the client’s GitHub Enterprise repository from the start, with protected branches, reviews, and an audit history configured for the engagement.
Production authority stays separate from STW execution. The default requires an explicitly authorized client role and environment approval. Federated, short-lived access and scoped roles avoid static cloud credentials in the reference model.
Data handling, approved model providers, retention, and access boundaries are agreed before launch. Sensitive inputs and actions are assessed against your security requirements; no provider or retention assumption is left implicit.
Source, history, specifications, architecture decisions, API contracts, infrastructure, evidence, and operating guidance remain with you under the project agreement. The exit test is a client engineer understanding, changing, verifying, and deploying the system using documented controls.
A product owner, domain experts, and a security or cloud contact provide the direction and approvals that engineering cannot guess.
Track lead time from scope approval to acceptance, accepted outcomes, escaped defects and rework, architecture and security findings, and your engineer’s ability to make and deploy a change.
Bring a complex system, a demanding delivery program, or a critical engineering gap.
