What we build

Data Engineering & BI

Data pipelines, warehouse modeling, and real-time dashboards that turn scattered operational data into decisions.

☁️

Cloud & DevOps

Cloud migration, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — built for reliability and cost control.

🏭

Industrial Automation & IoT

Industry 4.0 projects: PLC programming, machine retrofits, sensor networks, and real-time production monitoring.

Your legacy system still runs your business.
We make sure it keeps running — on modern technology.

We modernize legacy business systems without losing data and without stopping your operation. Thousands of European companies still depend on software written in Delphi, VB6, Oracle Forms, classic ASP, or Microsoft Access — systems that work, but that fewer and fewer people can maintain, and that block integration with the modern tools your business needs.

Our approach is the strangler pattern: we put a modern layer alongside the existing system and migrate one module at a time, while the old application keeps serving your users. Each step is small, testable, and reversible. There is no risky "big-bang" rewrite and no weekend cutover where everything must go right.

  • Incremental migration — the business never stops
  • Deep experience with Oracle and SQL Server databases, including schema migration and data integrity validation
  • We can also take over maintenance of the existing system while the migration runs
  • All business rules documented as we go — your company stops depending on one retired developer's memory

Typical migrations

Delphi desktop app Modern web application
VB6 / Access Cloud SaaS with API
Oracle Forms Web UI on the same Oracle DB
Classic ASP .NET / Node.js services
On-premise server AWS / Azure / GCP

A production system you can open right now

Most agencies ask for a logo wall. We would rather show you a system that is live, under load, and running unattended — because that is what tells you whether we can actually build.

Every night the pipeline scrapes ten suppliers across six different platform types, normalises inconsistent product data, resolves barcodes, recalculates pricing and stock, generates listing copy with an LLM, and pushes the differences to the marketplace API — then serves the public catalogue and checkout from the edge. It runs without anyone watching it.

Engineering capacity that stays behind your logo

If you are a European or US agency turning down work because you cannot staff it, we take the build — under your brand, inside your process, on your client's terms.

We already work as the delivery team behind other people's client relationships. That means we optimise for making you look good, not for being visible.

Dedicated capacity

One or more senior engineers embedded in your team, your sprints, your repo, your standups. Monthly rate, month-to-month.

Fixed-scope delivery

You hand over a spec, we deliver against it. Fixed price, fixed deadline, you keep the client conversation.

Legacy rescue

The Delphi, VB6, or Oracle Forms project your team does not want to touch. We take the old stack so you can sell the new one.

What we commit to in writing

The things that actually worry you when you subcontract.

We never approach your client Non-solicitation clause, signed before the first call. Your client stays your client, during and after.
White-label by default Your brand on the deliverable, your email in the commits if you want it. We are not listed anywhere as the vendor unless you ask us to be.
Full IP assignment All code and documentation transfer to you on payment. No retained licence, no reused components you did not agree to.
Your process, not ours We join your Jira, your Slack, your review rules and your definition of done. Onboarding is our problem, not yours.
One invoice, in EUR or USD Monthly, from a registered company, with the documentation your accounting needs. No per-hour micro-billing to reconcile.
Zero-risk start

Have an idea stuck on paper? We'll fund the first step.

We build a working prototype of your idea at zero cost, in up to two weeks. You see real software running — not a slide deck — and you only invest if you approve the result. It is the simplest way to test both your idea and us, before any money changes hands.

  • Working prototype in up to 2 weeks
  • Validate the concept before committing budget
  • NDA signed before we hear a single detail
  • No commitment, no fine print

The offshore price point, without the offshore friction

Nearshoring to Brazil gives European and US companies senior engineering at competitive rates — while keeping daily collaboration inside your working hours, in fluent English, with a Western work culture.

🕒

Real timezone overlap

Brazil sits at UTC-3: the same working day as the US East Coast and 4–6 shared hours with Central Europe. Compare that with India or Southeast Asia, where your afternoon question is answered while you sleep.

🗣️

Everything in English

Specs, meetings, code, commit messages, and documentation are all in English — written to be read by your team, not translated after the fact when someone needs to take over.

🤝

Western work culture

Blumenau was founded by German immigrants and remains one of Brazil's most European cities. Directness, punctuality, and saying "no" when something is a bad idea are part of how we work.

💶

Competitive rates in EUR/USD

Brazilian cost structure means significantly lower rates than Western European or US contractors — billed cleanly in your currency via international invoice, with no local bureaucracy on your side.

🎓

Senior-only team

Your project is not a training ground. The engineers who scope your project are the engineers who build it — trained at UFSC, one of Brazil's top engineering universities.

🎯

No account managers

You talk directly to the engineer writing your code. No layers of project coordinators translating (and losing) your requirements — decisions get made in one conversation, not five.

Frequently asked questions

How do payments work?

We invoice internationally in EUR or USD. You receive a standard invoice and pay by international wire transfer, Wise, or Stripe. No Brazilian bank account or local paperwork is needed on your side — for you it works exactly like paying any other supplier.

What timezone do you work in?

We work in the Brazilian timezone, UTC-3. That gives us a full working-day overlap with the US East Coast and four to six hours of overlap with Central Europe, so meetings, code reviews, and urgent fixes happen inside your business hours — not the next morning.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. We sign an NDA before any technical discussion, and we are comfortable working under your standard contract templates and data-protection requirements. Your source code, data, and business information remain your property at all times.

How does the free MVP work?

You tell us your idea, we agree on a focused scope, and we build a working prototype in up to two weeks at zero cost. If you approve the result, we plan the full project together. If you don't, you owe us nothing — there is no commitment and no fine print.

Can you take over or modernize our legacy system?

Yes — legacy modernization is one of our core services. We take over systems written in Delphi, VB6, Oracle Forms, classic ASP, or Microsoft Access, keep them running, and migrate them incrementally to modern web and cloud technology without losing data and without stopping your operation.

What technologies do you use?

We work across the modern stack: Python, TypeScript and Node.js, React, .NET, Java, Flutter, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We also integrate large language models into products and internal workflows. We pick the stack that fits your project and your existing team — not the other way around.

Let's talk about your project

Tell us what you are building — or what you need to modernize. You will get a reply from an engineer, not a sales script, usually within one business day.

We sign an NDA before you share anything confidential. No newsletter, no CRM sequence.
