Software built by people who run it in production
DevToDesk is a small, senior engineering team working in banking, insurance, payments, and HR technology. We take on the kind of work where the business rules matter as much as the code — and we stay with it after go-live.
What we take on
Five service lines, scoped to what we can genuinely staff with senior engineers. If a request falls outside them, we will say so.
Product & Web Engineering
End-to-end builds — from a greenfield product to a new module inside an existing platform.
- Greenfield web and internal product builds
- Feature development inside existing enterprise platforms
- REST API and microservice design
- Frontend builds in React, Next.js, and Angular
- Database design, migrations, and query optimisation
BFSI Platform Engineering
Domain-heavy work in banking, insurance, payments, and finance — where the business rules are the hard part.
- Core banking and payment processing modules
- Policy administration and claims workflow systems
- KYC, AML, and identity verification flows
- Regulatory and compliance reporting pipelines
- Reconciliation and settlement engines
AI & Automation Engineering
Applied AI inside real products — retrieval, agents, and automation that holds up in production.
- LLM and RAG pipelines over internal knowledge bases
- Vector database design and retrieval tuning
- Agentic workflows with Semantic Kernel and MCP
- Document processing and intelligent intake automation
- AI-assisted internal tooling
Dedicated Engineering Teams
Senior engineers embedded in your team, working to your process and your board — ramped up in weeks, not quarters.
- Full-stack engineers embedded in your sprints
- Short-term capacity for a fixed delivery window
- Code review and architecture support for in-house teams
- Handover and documentation built into every engagement
Support & Maintenance
Ongoing ownership of systems already in production — so nothing quietly rots after go-live.
- Dependency, framework, and security patching
- Monitoring, alerting, and incident response
- Performance profiling and cost optimisation
- Legacy modernisation, done incrementally
Three ways to work with us
Commercials are quoted after a scoping conversation — we would rather understand the problem than publish a number that turns out to be wrong.
Fixed-scope project
A defined deliverable with a known end state
We scope the work together, agree a milestone plan, and deliver against it. You get a fixed set of deliverables and a fixed commercial envelope.
Quoted per project after a scoping call
Dedicated pod
Ongoing delivery alongside your in-house team
A small team of our engineers works as an extension of yours — your backlog, your ceremonies, your definition of done. Scales up or down with a notice period.
Monthly, per engineer, with a minimum term
Support retainer
Systems in production that need a steady hand
A reserved block of engineering hours each month for maintenance, incident response, and small enhancements, with an agreed response window.
Monthly retainer against a reserved hour allocation
Current & recent engagements
Most of our client agreements carry confidentiality terms, so engagements are listed by domain and scope rather than by name. We are happy to make reference introductions under NDA.
Insurance
Policy administration and claims intake platform, rebuilt module by module alongside the client’s in-house team.
Payments
Transaction reconciliation and settlement reporting for a mid-size payments platform.
HR Technology
End-to-end hiring CRM — candidate pipeline, workflow automation, and integrations with third-party job boards.
Banking
Digital KYC and customer onboarding flows, including identity verification and AML screening integrations.
From first call to handover
Discovery call
A 30-minute call to understand the problem, the constraints, and whether we are the right team for it. No obligation, and we will say so if we are not.
Scoping & proposal
We write down what we heard — deliverables, assumptions, timeline, and commercials — so there is a single document you can hold us to.
Build & review
Short delivery cycles with a working review at the end of each one. You see progress continuously rather than at the end.
Handover & support
Documentation, a walkthrough with your team, and an optional support retainer. The system stays yours, not ours.
Let's scope your project
A 30-minute call to understand what you are building and whether we are the right team for it. No obligation, and no pitch deck.
