Engagements
Engage Dexels for one difficult decision, continuing technical leadership or complete system delivery. The senior engineer who assesses the problem remains involved in the work that follows.
Ways to work with Dexels
Dexels can review one critical decision, provide continuing technical leadership or take responsibility for a complete delivery. In every case, clients work directly with the senior engineer responsible for the result.
An independent assessment of an architecture decision, AI use case, database, integration or production risk. Dexels delivers a clear recommendation, the reasoning behind it and a practical course of action.
A concentrated engagement for a database, performance, integration, recovery or system-modernisation problem. Dexels investigates the cause, defines the remedy and works on the critical implementation where required.
A senior Dexels engineer works with the client one or two days each week. This is suited to organisations that need recurring architecture leadership, difficult technical decisions, implementation review or direct support for a CTO or engineering lead.
A fixed amount of time from a named senior engineer is reserved for one client each month. The capacity can be used for difficult implementation, system modernisation, database work, integration and decisions that require continuity.
Dexels takes responsibility for the architecture and agreed implementation of a system. Senior engineers lead the work, build critical components and involve additional specialists only when the scope requires them.
An independent examination of a platform, source code, databases, operations and engineering organisation. Intended for boards, investors and acquirers that need to understand technical quality, risk and future investment.
How we deliver
We can lead the build, work inside your engineering team or solve one specific problem. A client can enter at any stage, and the engineer who makes the decisions stays involved in what follows.
Advise, architect, build and operate form one continuous line. A client can enter at any of the four stages, and the same principal engineer stays involved across the stages that follow.
One of our principal engineers leads the design and implementation. Scope, team and release responsibility are agreed before work starts.
We work alongside the client's developers. Dexels takes responsibility for the architecture and agreed technical components while knowledge stays inside the team.
A principal engineer joins a programme to solve a specific database, integration, performance or modernisation problem.
Enterprise AI means AI built into an organisation's existing applications, data and operating processes. We decide where it is worth using, design how it should work and build it.
Use-case selection, readiness assessment, AI architecture, retrieval-augmented generation, assisted workflows, evaluation, human approval and AI-enabled applications.
Four layers: sources and systems of record, governed access and retrieval, models and business rules, then the applications and human decisions on top. Security, evaluation, monitoring, cost and ownership apply across every layer, not to one of them.
We design and build the applications, services and data platforms that a business depends on, and we change long-lived systems in stages rather than replacing them by default.
Applications, integration, distributed services, APIs, message-based systems, data models, Oracle and MongoDB work, performance, resilience and modernisation.
Applications, clients and partner systems exchange data in both directions with a layer of business services and rules. That layer, not the interface, holds the behaviour. APIs, events, retry, replay and audit are how it is reached. Databases, document stores and reporting sit behind it.
We build systems where devices, radio and software have to agree with each other in a physical operating environment, from event sites to connected health at home.
Devices and gateways, wearables, mobile applications, ultra-wideband, Bluetooth Low Energy, satellite positioning, mobile networks and near-field communication, positioning, identity, telemetry and platform integration.
Four tiers. Representative device and radio technologies at the bottom, then gateways and network, then the platform that holds data and rules, then the applications operators use. Measurements travel upward and configuration and commands travel back down.
Focused engineering reviews
A review takes two to three weeks. It ends with a recommendation, the reasoning behind it and a sequence of work the client can act on.
A choice between build, buy or modernise, tested against the systems and constraints that already exist.
Whether the data, permissions, interfaces and evaluation needed to run the use case in production are in place.
Data model, queries, indexes, workload, failure handling, backup and recovery in Oracle, MongoDB and relational systems.
Interfaces, message flow, failure behaviour and the operational risks that appear under real load.
A senior engineer will review the problem and tell you directly whether Dexels is the right fit.
