Software engineering & outsourcing

Complex architectures, built on any stack.

We design, build and run complex software: booking engines over millions of hotels, a public blockchain network, health-data and AI research platforms. The stack follows the problem, never the other way round.

Our thesis

Why an SEO agency builds software

Technical SEO at scale is not a checklist. It is rendering pipelines, crawl budgets, page speed, structured data, site migrations and log analysis across millions of URLs. That is software engineering, done under the strictest reviewer there is: a search engine that re-tests your site every day.

The skills that make a large site rank are the skills that make a large system work.

So our engineering and our search work reinforce each other. Every platform we build is fast, crawlable and measurable from day one, and every search engagement is backed by people who can change the code, not just report on it.

Search engineering and software engineering overlap Search engineering Software engineering Crawl & indexingStructured dataSearch analytics Distributed systemsBack officesAI integration PerformanceArchitectureData pipelinesAutomation
One team, two disciplines that share the same foundations.
PerformanceCore Web Vitals and high-load back ends are the same craft: caching, rendering, lean payloads.
ArchitectureInformation architecture for search and system architecture for software both decide what scales.
DataSearch analytics and product analytics run on the same pipelines, models and dashboards.
Capabilities

What we build

From the first architecture sketch to years of support, with one accountable lead.

Architecture & solution design

System design, data models, integrations and security from the first workshop, documented so your team can own it.

Web platforms & portals

Customer-facing platforms and portals that are fast, accessible and search-ready by default.

Back-office & business systems

Internal tools, workflows, CRM and reporting that replace spreadsheets with software.

Data, analytics & AI

Pipelines, dashboards, machine learning and AI features embedded in your product and operations.

Distributed & high-load systems

Networks, nodes, bridges, explorers and RPC infrastructure built for uptime under load.

Integrations & automation

APIs, payment and supplier integrations, and the automation that connects your systems.

How we design

Simple, observable, built to be supported

We choose the simplest architecture that fully meets the requirement: open technology, few moving parts, backups and monitoring from day one. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to break and a lower cost to run.

Engagement

Ways to work with us

Project delivery

A defined scope delivered end to end: design, build, launch and handover.

Team extension

Senior engineers who join your team and work in your tools and rhythm.

Support & evolution

Ongoing maintenance, monitoring and improvements after launch, on a simple retainer.

Leadership

Who leads the work

Nikola Alexandrov is our lead engineer and solution architect. He built the LockTrip travel platform and the Hydra Chain network, and he leads every engineering engagement personally, from architecture through build, testing, launch and support, with a small senior team.
