Two decades of building engineering organisations from the ground up. One mission: turning ambitious ideas into systems that work.
Today, we lead engineering organisations through the era of AI. The Engineering House is what we do together: partnering with founders and businesses to take an idea from Nothing to Strategy to Architecture to Production to Scale, and build the engineering capability to keep it running autonomously.
- Nothing
- Strategy
- Architecture
- Production
- Scale
We bring deep, hands-on experience across the entire engineering journey. Between us, we have helped organisations scale lending businesses, transform engineering organisations into AI-first teams, architect marketplace intelligence on data at scale, and build and operate backend systems within a global investment bank.
But our advantage isn’t just leadership experience.
We have spent years in the trenches: writing the code, designing the systems, making the architectural calls, building the teams, and carrying the pager when things break.
That gives us a practical understanding of what it really takes to go from a blank page to a production-grade engineering organisation.
You bring the problem. We bring the engineering house.
Associate Director of Engineering
Shikhar Varshney
13+ years · Bengaluru, India
Shikhar leads engineering for a multi product commerce organisation going AI-first, covering technical strategy, organisational design, and execution across product and platform.
Before that he spent three and a half years at a US small business neobank, where he built the credit division’s engineering function from nothing and took its lending product from an idea to $76M in originations inside the first year.
He is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect, and sat on the architecture review board at a product engineering consultancy, where six and a half years took him from senior iOS engineer to engineering manager.

Associate Director of Engineering
Our other engineering partner
11+ years · Delhi NCR, India
He leads engineering at a consumer travel platform across infrastructure, security, the benefits platform, and a beta pod that takes new ideas from prototype to production.
He was solutions architect and acting CTO at a marketplace intelligence company, leading the engineering team that built commerce intelligence over marketplace data at scale.
Before that: a global investment bank, building backend systems and large data tooling for the HR organisation, and six years at an enterprise software firm on lending management products used by banks across several markets.

The team
A team of engineers and QAs works with us, ready to be deployed as the project needs. We staff to the shape of the problem rather than to a fixed headcount, and they arrive as one team under a single technical leadership rather than as individually contracted specialists.
Frontend & Web
Product surfaces that hold up once real users and real data arrive.
- React
- Next.js
- TypeScript
Mobile
Native and cross platform apps, shipped through the stores and kept there.
- React Native
- iOS
- Expo
Data & AI
Pipelines, warehouses, evaluation harnesses, and the agents on top of them.
- Redshift
- LLMs
- Vector DBs
- dbt
Infrastructure & Security
Cloud, CI/CD, observability, and the guardrails that keep releases boring.
- AWS
- Terraform
- CI/CD
- IAM
Quality Engineering
Test strategy, automation, and the coverage that lets a team ship on a Friday.
- Automation
- E2E
- Performance
- Release QA
