Interview Preparation

We all have to go through job interviews from time to time. We all experience stress while preparing and during the interview itself.
With over 15 years of IT consulting experience, our team has conducted and participated in hundreds of job interviews.
We’ll help you get ready for the technical part of the interview and suggest questions to ask a potential employer to understand if the company is right for you.
We can also conduct a mock interview with our specialists so you can test your skills if needed. You can learn more about our technologies and languages stack here.

Architectural Reviews

The four pillars on which every software architecture is built are: fault tolerance, scalability, performance, and security.
Striking a balance between all these aspects is a complex task that isn’t always optimally addressed.
That’s why it’s advisable to conduct an architectural review before the development process begins.
We’ll help you identify bottlenecks in your existing architecture and suggest improvements if necessary. More

Code Reviews

Code quality is an important aspect of the development process. It’s a broad concept that includes such metrics as cleanliness, clarity, and test coverage.
Clean code is a pleasure to work with for you and your colleagues. Clean code is easy to maintain and develop, and well-tested code requires no comments and helps avoid many unpleasant bugs before handing it off to your testing team.
Our IT consultants have extensive hands-on experience in software development and code reviews.
We can conduct a professional code review for you, and if necessary, help you understand all the intricacies of this process, explaining what aspects to pay attention to, and how to painlessly integrate code review into your daily work to improve delivery process.

Performance Reviews

Conducting a performance review is an important milestone in careers of your employees.
The review should result in a roadmap that will help formulate goals for the employee’s future development and reward results already achieved.
We have developed unique metrics for professional IT performance reviews.
Our specialists participated in development of performance evaluation systems and are well-versed in all the intricacies of organizing and conducting this process.
We will help you objectively evaluate the performance of your employees and provide comprehensive consulting services on this matter.

Delivery Management

The software delivery process is the entire journey of bringing a software product to users, from its initial conception through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
Delivery management involves coordinating multiple teams and disciplines. All aspects like DevOps, continuous delivery, development, testing should be well-organized and work smoothly together to deliver high-quality software quickly and reliably. 
The release process deserves special attention as a final and one of the most important steps of software delivery.
The release manager is responsible for ensuring the agreed-upon scope of new features is delivered to the client on time.
Our IT consultants are always ready to help you establish delivery and release processes, develop the whole stack of required documentation, and provide release manager support if needed.

System Design

Fault tolerance, scalability, performance, security, and maintainability—all these and many other qualities make up the architecture of a software system.
The right choice of architecture plays a key role in the success of your product.
Like the foundation of a building, system architecture determines how strong, stable, and comfortable your home or office will be.
We offer both cutting-edge and time-tested architectural solutions to suit your needs.
Which database should you choose?
Will your API handle the spike of visitors during the holidays?
Which cloud provider is right for you?
Our specialists will help you address all of these and many other questions.

Technical Assessment

To understand whether a candidate is right for you, it’s necessary to conduct both hard and soft skills assessment.
Existing automated technical skills assessment systems often don’t reflect a specialist’s actual ability to solve everyday problems.
It’s unlikely that your employees spend their days reinventing complex sorting algorithms or randomly iterating through arrays.
Our IT consultants have extensive experience interviewing and selecting engineering professionals of all levels, from junior to system architect.
We know the right questions to ask and what to pay attention to in order to unlock the full technical potential of your future employee or colleague without stress.
As for soft skills, you can also rely on our professional IT consulting services.

Our specialists will help you optimize and automate your workflow where possible, saving you significant time for dealing with truly important issues.
