Software and organisationsthat grow at the pace you want.
We build software, products and AI agents. We join your teams to unblock delivery, reduce technical debt and scale engineering. Not just developers: consultants who build.
They chose to scale with us
The problems we solve
every day in software companies
At first everything works: the product grows, the team expands, the roadmap fills up
Then change gets harder
Every change is a risk and delivery loses predictability
and that's where we step in
How we engage
The same technical expertise, four ways of working.
Targeted Intervention
When one part of the software is holding everything else back.
- We stabilise prototypes that don't scale
- We refactor critical parts of the legacy code
- We deliver features side by side with your team
A surgical intervention. A concrete result.
Explore Targeted Intervention →Embedded Teams
When you want delivery to become more dependable over time.
- We join your organisation and build alongside you
- As we deliver, we pass on our quality practices and methods and build up your team's technical independence
We don't just increase speed. We increase capability.
Explore Embedded Teams →AI & Agent Engineering
When you want to bring AI in seriously and at scale.
- Integrated into existing systems
- Maintainable over time
- Consistent with your architecture
Not isolated prototypes. Solutions you can control.
Explore AI & Agent Engineering →Product Development & Open Innovation
When you want to build something new on solid foundations.
- We design the architecture from scratch
- We build scalable MVPs
- We take the product live
Not just an idea.
A working product.
How we work
We get into the code
We analyse the product by working directly on the software, not from the outside.
We stabilise
We shore up the parts that slow you down or create risk.
We improve code, workflows and decisions
We work on code quality, collaboration between teams and clarity in technical choices.
We make the team self-sufficient
We build internal capability, so the improvement carries on even without us.
What happens when you take back control of your software
When the code becomes manageable again, the roadmap gets more reliable, changes carry less risk, the team works with more clarity and the product keeps evolving without losing stability.
Scaling from 5 to 30 developers without losing quality
B2B collaboration suite: the team was growing but code quality was dropping. We came in to rebuild practices, collaboration and technical autonomy.
Architecture and delivery for critical medical software
Software that alerts first responders: fragile architecture and slow delivery. We realigned code, team and business goals.
From zero to a live SEO product in 6 months
SEO scale-up: a product built from scratch on solid foundations, with continuous delivery and engineering practices that hold up as the company grows.
Who we are
QMates is a team of developers with deep expertise in software and organisational architecture.
We work on real software, in production, inside organisations that are growing.
We build together with you — in the code and in the processes. Lasting change comes from people who understand the architecture, not from those who watch it from the outside.
We also design and build custom AI agents: integrated into your existing systems, maintainable and under your control.
When needed, we take ownership of a product or feature and deliver it side by side with your team, passing on know-how as we go.

A fragile prototype, a burdensome legacy codebase or unpredictable delivery: that's where we start
