What we do
Six practices. One standard: senior.
Every engagement is staffed by consultants with a decade-plus of scar tissue. No hand-offs, no benches, no learning on your dime.
Cloud & DevOps Engineering
Ship faster with resilient, cost-aware cloud platforms. We design, migrate and automate infrastructure on AWS, Azure and GCP.
- Cloud migration & landing zones on AWS, Azure & GCP
- Kubernetes platforms (EKS/AKS/GKE) built the GitOps way
- CI/CD pipelines, progressive delivery & feature flags
Custom Software Development
Web platforms, APIs and internal tools engineered for longevity — from product strategy to production support.
- Product discovery, UX workshops & rapid prototyping
- Laravel, Node.js, React & Vue engineering pods
- API design, event-driven architecture & integrations
Data Engineering & AI Solutions
From scattered spreadsheets to trustworthy analytics and applied AI — pipelines, warehouses and LLM products that earn their keep.
- Data platform builds: ingestion → warehouse → BI
- dbt-based modelling with data quality contracts
- Streaming & real-time analytics with Kafka / Kinesis
Cybersecurity & Compliance
Practical security that passes audits and stops attackers — penetration testing, zero-trust rollouts and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness.
- Penetration testing & adversary simulation
- Zero-trust identity: SSO, MFA, least privilege & PAM
- SOC 2, ISO 27001 & Cyber Essentials programme delivery
How we work
A process you can watch in real time
No black boxes. Every phase has named outputs, and you see working software from week two onward.
-
01
Discover
A two-week sprint mapping goals, constraints and success metrics. We interview stakeholders, audit the current estate and leave you with a written opportunity map — whether we work together after or not.
- Stakeholder interviews
- Technical audit
- Success metric definition
- Opportunity & risk map
-
02
Architect
We design the solution at the right level of detail: architecture decision records, delivery plan, team shape and budget. Every choice is written down with trade-offs explicit.
- Architecture decision records
- Delivery roadmap
- Build vs buy analysis
- Fixed-quote proposal
-
03
Deliver
Two-week increments, demo every fortnight, live progress dashboard throughout. You watch working software appear instead of reading status reports about it.
- Fortnightly demos
- Shared progress dashboard
- Weekly written summaries
- Continuous pairing
-
04
Empower
Handover is engineered from day one: documentation, runbooks and training sessions so your team owns everything. Success means not needing us next quarter.
- Documentation & runbooks
- Team training sessions
- 30-day hypercare included
- Ongoing support options
Proof, not promises

Toolkit
Boring where it counts, sharp where it pays
We pick technology for your constraints — not our CV. These are the platforms we run deepest on.
Client voices
Don’t take our word for it
Unedited words from the people who signed off our invoices — and would do it again.
“ByteDots didn’t just fix our platform — they changed how our engineers think about shipping. Eight deploys a day, zero drama, and our PCI audit was a formality for the first time ever.”
Sarah Chen
CTO, Northwind Pay
“The first consultancy we’ve hired that left us stronger than they found us. Our own team now runs the platform confidently, and the documentation actually reflects reality.”
Marcus Bell
VP of Engineering, Vantage Retail Group
“They understood HIPAA deeply enough to move fast without cutting corners. Our board saw live dashboards within six weeks and the funding round went remarkably smoothly.”
Dr. Elena Petrova
Chief Digital Officer, Mediloop Health
“SOC 2 in ninety days while still shipping features. Their security team speaks fluent engineering, which meant zero friction and an audit report with no exceptions.”
James Whitfield
Founder & CEO, Lumen Analytics
