Hardcode Consulting

Your vision.
Our execution.

We architect and build fintech systems, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack platforms. Pragmatic engineering. No hype. Delivered.

About

Built on a decade
of shipping things
that actually work.

Hardcode Consulting is a technical consultancy built around one principle: engineering should solve real problems, not impressive-sounding ones.

We've spent nearly a decade building across fintech, mobile, backend, infrastructure, and cloud. From Android apps to remittance platforms moving money across borders. That breadth means we don't get stuck in one way of thinking.

When you engage Hardcode, you're not getting a team that needs hand-holding. You agree on the what. We own the how. That's the value of working with people who've made every mistake already and know which shortcuts are actually traps.

How we work

  • 01

    Tell us the destination.

    Not the route. We'll get you there.

  • 02

    Simplicity over hype.

    Complex tech doesn't always mean better results.

  • 03

    Rules are guidelines.

    We bend them when reality demands it.

  • 04

    Execution is the product.

    Ideas are cheap. Delivery is where experience shows.

  • 05

    Adaptability wins.

    Requirements shift. We adapt faster.

Capabilities

What we build.

We don't offer everything. We offer the things we've done in production, at scale, under pressure.

01

Fintech Systems Architecture

International payments, multi-tenant white-label platforms, remittance systems, and compliance-aware infrastructure. We've built the pipes that move real money.

Payments Remittance Multi-tenant Compliance
02

Backend & Distributed Systems

Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL. Production-grade backends built for multiple regions, high availability, and the kind of load that actually matters.

Java Spring Boot PostgreSQL Multi-region
03

Cloud & Infrastructure

Bare-metal Linux with cloud-native scaling. We skip the Kubernetes theatre when it adds no value. When 3 AM happens, simplicity is what saves you.

04

Mobile Development

Android, iOS, and Flutter. Including white-label fintech apps serving multiple clients on the same platform. Six years of shipping apps that work.

Android iOS Flutter White-label
05

Technical Leadership

CTO-level thinking without the full-time hire. Architecture decisions, team structuring, code review culture, and keeping distributed teams honest.

06

Frontend & Web Platforms

Angular, React, and whatever the problem actually needs. We choose the right tool for the job and build it to last.

What Hardcode
is building next.

Active research and experiments. Not side projects, not tutorials.

Active-Active Multi-Region Databases

Hands-on experiments with global read/write patterns, conflict resolution, and replication strategies. Powerful, but only when the project actually needs it.

Pragmatic Linux Deployments

Refining bare-metal deployment patterns with cloud-native scaling. Faster to debug, cheaper to run, and no Kubernetes YAML to fight at 3 AM.

Workflow Automation with n8n

Internal automations for alerts, data syncs, and service integrations. Versioned, auditable, and built to outlast the person who set it up.

In-house Telemetry

Custom tooling to surface API latency and slow endpoints in real time. Because "it feels slow" is not a bug report.

RAG over Internal Knowledge

Retrieval-augmented generation for FX-rate queries and internal documentation. Practical AI with real use cases, not demos or prototypes.

Track Record

Proof is in
what's been built.

9+

Years in production

Building and shipping across fintech, mobile, infrastructure, and backend. In live systems, not in theory.

3

Continents served

Remittance and payment platforms built for clients across UK, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

6+

Years in mobile

Android, iOS, and Flutter. Including white-label fintech apps serving multiple clients on a single platform.

3 AM incidents survived

The kind of experience that only comes from owning systems in production for years.

What we've shipped

  • Cross-border remittance platforms handling real transaction volume
  • Multi-tenant white-label fintech apps for multiple client brands
  • Multi-region PostgreSQL setups with replication and failover
  • CI/CD pipelines and Linux infrastructure on AWS from scratch
  • Internal tooling, telemetry systems, and workflow automation
  • Mobile apps (Android, iOS, Flutter) shipped to production
"
We don't over-engineer for the sake of trends. If it adds real value, we use it. If it doesn't, we skip it and ship faster because of it.
