Service - Embedded Software Development for Existing Teams

Who This Is For

This service is for teams that already have a real product, platform, or internal system and need more engineering capacity inside the work, especially when you want senior judgment and up-to-date delivery practice, not only extra capacity.

It fits best when:

• The roadmap is active but velocity is too low
• The codebase needs experienced attention, not just more hands
• Delivery pressure is rising and hiring would take too long
• You want someone who can contribute quickly without needing heavy supervision

Typical Signals This Is The Right Service

• Important work keeps slipping because the team is stretched
• Technical debt is slowing delivery more than it should
• There is a backlog of known work that needs ownership
• The team needs a senior contributor who can both build and think
• You need momentum now, not after a long recruitment cycle

What I Actually Do

I embed into your existing environment through a dedicated weekly retainer and take responsibility for real delivery work.

That can include:

• Owning a stream of implementation work
• Helping stabilise messy parts of the codebase
• Supporting architecture and technical decision-making
• Working alongside your existing developers
• Translating business pressure into practical engineering action

How Delivery Runs Week To Week

The rhythm is intentionally simple:

• We align on the active priorities
• I work within the agreed communication and planning cadence
• You get direct communication in the channels we agree
• Progress, blockers, and risks stay visible
• The next useful slice of work stays clear
• Urgent work is handled through explicit re-prioritisation, not hidden overcommitment

Every active engagement includes daily communication touchpoints in some form, even when the main build work is async. The retainer can be more embedded and daily, or more async with scheduled checkpoints, depending on what your team needs.

What You Need To Provide

To get useful delivery moving quickly, you should be able to provide:

• Access to the relevant systems, repos, or tooling
• Clear decision-makers for priorities and approvals
• Enough context on the product, team, and constraints
• A workable communication path for questions and updates

What You Receive

• Reserved senior engineering capacity inside your existing work
• Clear daily communication and visible progress
• A known weekly retainer rather than improvised availability
• Delivery support that can flex with changing priorities
• Clean handoff context if the engagement pauses or ends
