Senior Architecture & System Engineering

Software architecture for companies that have outgrown basic development.

We help growing software teams and CTOs make better engineering decisions. We trim moving parts, fix database bottlenecks under load, build production AI evaluations, and scale backends cleanly.

What We Fix

Engineering Bottlenecks We Solve

Founders and CTOs call us when technical debt, database locks under load, or expensive cloud bills threaten scaling.

01 // DATABASE SCALING

PostgreSQL Bottlenecks & Row Lock Contention

Long-running queries inside web requests hold row locks until worker pools freeze. We trace lock times, clean bloat, set up table partitioning, and decouple synchronous database mutations.

Long Queries
Active locks
Decouple
Sidekiq workers
Optimize Schema
Chronological partition
Scaled Postgres
Low CPU usage
02 // AI ORCHESTRATION

Low-Latency AI Pipelines & CI/CD Evaluations

Direct LLM API calls add latency and billing overhead. We drop semantic Redis caches in front of repeated prompts, stream SSE responses, and build programmatic evaluation contracts in CI.

Featured Architecture Case Study

Scaling a live Conversational AI pipeline.

A customer support product was burning thousands on direct GPT-4 API calls. High response latency caused customer churn, while database lockups blocked operations.

We decoupled the pipeline, added semantic Redis caching for repeated prompts, and moved transcript processing to Sidekiq.

In user response latency
45% cut
In OpenAI billing costs
