What You Actually Get When You Hire

Developers Who Learn Your Business

Our developers stay for years, not months. They accumulate deep knowledge of your data models, your APIs, and your business logic.

Pre-Tested Expertise

We don't send developers to clients before testing them on our own projects. CTO-level evaluation, not algorithm matching.

Secure Code From Day One

All developers complete secure coding training. They handle PII properly, manage secrets correctly, and write defensible code.

Senior Manager Service

Every inquiry - before and after you hire - is handled personally by senior managers. Enterprise professionalism, boutique attention.

Pricing Without Platform Markups

Access experienced Python developers from $1,199-$2,499/month. No hidden fees. We can afford to charge less because we retain more.

$100 AI Credits Included

$100/month in AI credits included. Your developer can use Claude, GPT-4, and similar tools (with your consent) for accelerated delivery.

What Your Python Developer Can Build

Upgrade Your Python AI Stack

Code review & hardening
Lock down secrets, sanitize inputs, add type checking, and enforce Pydantic validation across boundaries.
Security & compliance
JWT/OAuth, RBAC, rate limiting, audit logs, and PII/GDPR handling built into your APIs and pipelines.
Improve RAG quality
Fix chunking/metadata, choose embeddings wisely, tighten retrieval, add rerankers - reduce hallucinations and latency.
Observability & error handling
Structured logs, metrics, tracing, and actionable alerts (Sentry/OpenTelemetry) for real production feedback.

Turn proof-of-concepts into reliable AI apps

Build From Scratch

Pragmatic architecture
Bounded contexts, clear service contracts, queue-based workflows where they pay off.
Data & storage design
Postgres first, object storage (S3), vector DB only when it makes sense.
Ship quickly, safely
CI/CD, tests, linters, pre-commit hooks, staging and feature flags to move fast without breakage.
Production-ready from day one
Secrets management, validation, docs, API schemas, and rate limits in place from the start.

From your spec to a production-grade Python service
