# Motty — Software, Infrastructure & Technical Consulting

> A software studio building considered, durable software for teams who value craft, clarity, and longevity over churn.

## Software, built with intention

Custom software development and technical consulting for teams who value craft over complexity.

Small engagements. Deep involvement. One or two clients at a time — never a portfolio of polite neglect.

## Services

Four kinds of work, all of them done well.

### 01 · Custom Application Development

Production web applications, internal tools, APIs, and developer platforms — built end-to-end with modern stacks. Code we'd be proud to inherit five years from now.

- TypeScript · Rust · Go
- Node · Postgres
- Web · API · Internal tools

### 02 · Cloud, Infrastructure & Observability

Production infrastructure, container platforms, and the metrics stack to know what they're actually doing. We've run full Prometheus / Thanos / Grafana setups end-to-end — including custom AWS collectors to pull metrics from fleets of instances — and the IaC discipline that keeps it all reproducible.

- Kubernetes · Terraform
- AWS · GCP
- Prometheus · Thanos · Grafana
- Dashboards, alerting, long-term metrics storage
- CI/CD pipelines

### 03 · Technical Consulting

Architecture reviews, technology selection, and engineering strategy. We help leadership teams make the calls that matter before the wrong ones get made.

- Strategy
- Architecture review
- Technical due diligence

### 04 · Team Augmentation

Senior engineers who embed with your team, raise the floor, and leave behind a stronger codebase and clearer practices than they found.

- Senior engineering
- Fractional CTO
- Code review and mentorship

## Studio

Most software is written in a hurry, by people who are not in the room when it matters. We try to do the opposite — to listen carefully, think slowly, and ship things that still make sense a decade later.

We are a small team on purpose. We take on one or two engagements at a time, work directly with founders and engineering leaders, and leave projects in a state we would be glad to inherit.

**Principles**

- Craft over churn.
- Quiet over loud.
- Clarity over cleverness.

**By the numbers**

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Engagements since 2012 | ~15 |
| Years operating | 14 |
| Longest single engagement | 2 years (exclusive) |
| Client retention to date | 100% |

## Process

A straightforward way of working — and sticking to it.

1. **Listen.** We start with the business, the users, and the constraints. Good software begins with the right questions, not the right framework.
2. **Plan.** Architecture, scope, and trade-offs on paper before in code. We map the path so the build is the easy part.
3. **Build.** Iterative development with weekly visibility. You're not waiting six weeks to see what we've been doing.
4. **Deliver.** Launch, hand-off, and the kind of ongoing support that means we still answer the phone in year three.
