Senior development · AI-augmented delivery
The judgment of a senior engineer.
The speed of AI.
Bespoke software built by someone who's been doing this for over a decade — supercharged by agentic AI workflows. Complex projects, shipped faster, without cutting corners on quality.
Led by James Drummond · Johns Hopkins Agentic Engineering (in progress)
AI lets anyone generate code.
Experience decides whether it works.
The sweet spot isn't choosing between a seasoned senior and a fast AI-powered shop. It's getting both — from the same person.
What we do
Built for complex projects.
Shipped at startup speed.
Services aimed at growth-stage companies and established businesses where getting it right matters — and where experience is the difference between shipping and rebuilding.
Bespoke software development
Full-stack web applications and SaaS products, from first commit to production. TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, and the modern ecosystem — built to last.
AI & agentic workflow consulting
Show your team where AI tools and agentic workflows can cut weeks off delivery. Practical, opinionated advice from someone using these tools every day in production.
Architecture & technical strategy
Review existing systems, plan new ones, and de-risk the hard decisions. The perspective of someone who has built at every scale — from solo SaaS to enterprise.
Rapid prototypes & MVPs
Get to something real in weeks, not quarters. AI-augmented development makes lean feasibility work and validated MVPs dramatically more affordable.
The quality of a senior team.
The cost and speed of a lean one.
Reliable software, delivered faster than traditional agencies — without the inexperience that usually comes with a lower price tag.
Led by James Drummond
Over a decade building software that had to work.
James Drummond is a senior full-stack developer with experience at some of the most demanding environments in software — London financial services, enterprise music industry, million-visitor e-commerce, and a SaaS product he built, scaled and sold.
He now combines that judgment with agentic AI workflows that multiply output without multiplying risk. James is currently completing a Certificate in Agentic Engineering from the Johns Hopkins Department of Engineering— staying on the absolute edge of what's possible with AI in production.
Track record
Software that actually shipped.
Not side projects. Real systems, used by real customers, at real scale.
