Build + Advisory Studio
Your product, engineered to last.
Codefactory is a software studio for custom softwares, AI automation, fintech, crypto, and enterprise solutions. We build, embed, and advise - shipping complete products for teams that just need the software, and senior hands and judgment for teams that have a roadmap to back.

01 Services
Two ways we move the needle
Most engagements are one of two shapes: we build the software - a complete product or a slice of your roadmap - or we help you make the call. Often both.
Build// hands on the work
01
Custom Software Builds
You bring the idea, we ship the product. End-to-end design, build, and delivery for teams that just want working software - not a team to manage.
02
Embedded Engineering
Senior engineers who join your team and own a slice of the roadmap - code, reviews, and on-call, without the ramp-up tax.
03
Solution Architecture
Cloud-native systems on AWS and GCP - payment rails, data platforms, and fraud engines built to scale and survive audits.
04
Platform & Reliability
Observability, CI/CD, and incident discipline - the systems behind 99.99% uptime where downtime costs money.
Advise// judgment in the room
05
Fractional Eng Leadership
A senior EM or principal part-time - roadmaps, KPIs, architecture standards, and the hard calls, on a retainer.
06
Technical Due Diligence
Investing or acquiring? We assess the codebase, architecture, team, and risk, and hand you a decision-grade report.
07
Architecture & Code Review
An independent read on your system before you scale it - bottlenecks, security gaps, and what to fix first.
08
Team & Hiring
Interview loops, levelling frameworks, and coaching that turn engineers into seniors and leads people believe in.
02 Engagements
Ways to work with us
Scoped to the problem, not the calendar. Pick a shape - or talk to us and we'll recommend one.
Project Build
For teams that just want the software. We scope it, build it, and ship it - you get a finished product, not a team to run.
- Fixed scope & price
- Design through delivery
- Production-grade & documented
- Yours to run after launch
Embedded Squad
A senior pod that plugs into your team and ships production-grade work from week one.
- 1 to 3 senior engineers
- Owns a roadmap slice
- Your tools, your standards
- Clean hand-over built in
03 What we deliver
The outcomes we're hired for
Most engagements come down to one of these. The proof is in the systems we leave behind - and the teams still running them.
Build · Regulated
Audit-ready
Systems that survive scrutiny
KYC/KYB, compliance, and reporting engineered for fintech, crypto, and enterprise - tested, observable, and ready for the regulator on day one.
Build · Platform
Built to scale
From prototype to real load
Cloud-native architecture and monolith-to-microservices migrations that hold up when traffic, data, and the team all grow at once.
Build · Handover
You own it
No black boxes left behind
Documented, observable systems your engineers can run and extend long after the engagement ends - never a dependency on us.
Advise · Diligence
De-risked
Decisions you can defend
Technical due diligence and architecture reviews that turn unknowns into a clear, costed plan for founders, boards, and investors.

From airports and banks to field-services and energy firms - a few of the organisations we've built and advised for.
04 Approach
How we keep it honest
The studio runs on a few non-negotiables. They're why clients bring us back.
01
Senior, end to end
The people who scope your work are the ones who build it. No junior bench, no bait-and-switch.
02
Production-grade by default
Tested, observable, documented. We come from regulated fintech, so "works on my machine" was never an option.
03
We leave no trace
A good engagement ends with a system your team understands and can run without us - not a dependency on the contractor.
04
Straight talk
You get the honest read, not the comfortable one - on scope, risk, and the things that will bite you in six months.

"Good engineering is a people business that happens to involve computers. We optimise for both."
How we're built
Senior people on the work - not a bench
Codefactory is small on purpose. You work directly with senior engineers and a founder who has led teams through regulated builds, audits, and the kind of growth that breaks systems - never a sales layer handing you off to juniors.
When a project needs more hands, we bring in extra senior engineers from a tight, trusted network - only when the work calls for it. That keeps quality high and keeps the people you talk to the people who build.
05 Process
First call to clean hand-over
Talk
A short call to understand the problem, the constraints, and what success actually looks like.
Scope
We write down the outcomes, the shape of the engagement, and what done means - before any code.
Build
Senior engineers ship in tight loops, production-grade from the first commit, with visible weekly progress.
Hand over
Documented, observable, owned by your team. You keep a system you understand, not a black box.
