An engineering team for ambitious AI-era companies. We've shipped products to 30+ countries and run engagements for fintech, agencies, and consultancies in the UK, EU, and India.
Domains we've shipped in
Client names withheld under NDA · references on request
Citation-enforced retrieval, multi-model routing, and continuous evals on Langfuse — so the model stops being a guess.
Kafka Streams, Postgres + pgvector, Cloudflare Workers, AWS SST. Architectures that survive the IPL match-day spike, not just the demo.
Three.js explainers, voice-first UIs in Hindi/English/Hinglish, Next.js 15 with strict TypeScript and design that doesn't look generated.
Prototype to production
We don't hand off a half-finished prototype. Every engagement ends in production code, observability, and a runbook your team can operate. Founder-tier engineers from day one — no juniors hidden behind the brand.
Two-week paid audit ending in a written diagnosis with a sequenced fix list. You own the document.
Two-week sprints with a Friday demo. Production-grade tests and observability shipped from sprint one.
We can run it for you, or hand the keys to your team with full documentation when ready.
Boring tech where boring works, new tech where new genuinely wins. We don't bill for slide decks.
Engineering depth
Our pattern: cite, verify, refuse. Every claim ships with a chunk-ID. Answers without retrieval support are rejected at the streaming boundary, not surfaced to the user.
# RAG with citation enforcement
async def answer(query: str) -> Answer:
chunks = await retrieve(query, k=12, rerank="cohere-v3")
if len(chunks) < 3:
return Answer.refuse("insufficient grounding")
model = router.choose(query, budget="basic") # claude / gpt-4o / gemini
stream = await model.stream(prompt(query, chunks))
async for token in stream:
if citation_violated(token, chunks):
return Answer.abort("hallucination detected")
yield tokenBuilt & running
Sunja's own products — the proof that we build and operate AI-native software at scale, not just consult on it.
AI tutor for India's competitive exams. Citation-grounded answers in Hindi, English, and Hinglish — used by 10,000+ aspirants.
K-12 textbook chapters reimagined as cinematic 3D worlds, with an embedded AI tutor that grades open-ended answers. Used by learners across 30+ countries.
An AI-powered news platform that ingests, deduplicates, and editorially grades news with a confidence-scored publishing gate.
Capabilities
Every line below is something we've shipped to production users — not a list copied from a job board.
Citation-enforced RAG. Multi-model routing across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini. Semantic caching over Postgres + pgvector. Continuous evals on Langfuse that gate every prompt change in CI.
How we engage
We're a small senior team. Pick the shape that fits the work. Each option has a clear scope, deliverables, and exit criteria — no hourly billing surprises, no slide decks billed for.
Talk to us2–4 senior engineers, full ownership of a product surface, daily standups with your team.
Clearly bounded deliverable — RAG pipeline, mobile app, infra rebuild — for a fixed fee and timeline.
Founder-level architecture, hiring loops, and unblocking — without the full-time hire.
A paid diagnostic with a sequenced fix list. You own the document either way.
Selected work
We don't ship demos. Every project below went to production with paying users, regulated workloads, or both. Client names withheld under NDA.
Backend architect and database owner for an SMB cash-flow platform — bank aggregation via Open Banking, transaction reconciliation, and forecasting with audit trails. Currently shipping a new accounting-software integration and analytics enhancements, at startup speed via an AI-assisted coding workflow.
Migrated a founders-network members directory into a hardened, audit-trailed portal with EU data residency for GDPR compliance.
A three-system integration for a UK field-services operator — keeps Salesforce, JobLogic, and a workforce-locations system in sync without duplication or loops.
An A/B testing and personalization platform built on Cloudflare's edge — sub-50ms responses globally, capacity-planned for India banking-scale traffic during major event campaigns.
Real-time profit dashboards for multi-channel sellers — unifies Shopify, Google Ads, and Meta Ads into one view that updates in seconds, not hours.
A 2-hour capture-the-flag assessment for junior full-stack engineers — replaced an IoT startup's generic LeetCode loop with something that actually predicts on-the-job ability.
What you get
Most of what's billed in this market is junior labour and slide decks. We charge for senior engineers shipping production code. No padding, no bench, no farmed-out subcontractors.
