Advanced Data Engineering

From raw telemetry to executive dashboards. The pipelines, warehouses and tooling that turn operational data into decisions.

What we do

We build data platforms that survive contact with reality. Not proof-of-concept slideware, but the real thing: ingestion, quality, warehousing, analytics, monitoring, on-call. Sized to your operation, not the vendor’s SKU list.

Capabilities

  • Data platform architecture — Airflow, dbt, warehouse design (Snowflake / BigQuery / self-hosted Postgres / MariaDB).
  • Pipeline engineering — batch and streaming ingestion, quality checks, lineage.
  • BI & analytics — Looker, Metabase, or custom Astro dashboards for exec/ops teams that shouldn’t have to learn SQL.
  • Legacy modernization — replacing brittle Excel-and-batch-scripts with proper pipelines, without breaking the operations that depend on them.
  • MLOps — feature stores, model deployment, drift monitoring for aerospace-grade workloads (deterministic, auditable, explainable).
  • Data governance — cataloguing, PII handling, retention, access control.

How we work

  • Small, senior, hands-on. The engineer you meet is the engineer writing the code.
  • Measurable outcomes. Every focused engagement ends with a shipped platform slice + numeric target hit.
  • Aerospace-grade rigor by default. Config management, environments, disaster recovery are non-negotiable — not upsells.
  • Sized to your operation. SME building a first analytics stack, mid-market group consolidating a warehouse, or large group modernizing a legacy pipeline — same operating model, different scope.

Stack we’re fluent in

Grouped by the job each one does, because a flat run of seventeen names tells you less than five short lines do.
