No cost
Technical call first
You talk to the engineers who would be on the work, not an account manager. Bring the architecture, the backlog or the problem, and you will get a straight read on it.
.NET & ASP.NET · United States
Hire dedicated .NET developers
Pick the level you need: a mid-level developer, a senior engineer, a delivery lead or an architect. Microsoft-certified, working on current .NET, ASP.NET Core and Azure, on hours that overlap your own.
Start with a free technical call. You get a written plan afterwards, yours to keep, and then a working build every two weeks.

How we start
A call, a plan, then working software
Yours to keep
A written plan
Scope, the shape of the team, staging and a cost range in writing. It is specific enough to take to another firm, and you keep it whichever way you go.
Every 2 weeks
Working software
A running build every fortnight rather than a status report, with a natural stopping point at each boundary. No long commitment before you see output.
What it costs
Senior .NET engineering at a fraction of a US in-house hire, with no recruitment fee, no payroll overhead and no twelve-month commitment. You get a written range for your own project after the first call, because a number before we have seen the work is a guess dressed up as a quote.
Your risk
Stop at any two-week boundary. There is always a recent working build, and the code, the repository and the pipelines are in your accounts from day one, so there is nothing to hand over and nothing held hostage if you walk away.
Certification
Certification is the starting point
A certification shows an engineer knows how Microsoft handles identity, deployment, security and cost, so they build to the platform's standards instead of inventing their own. What it does not show is whether someone can design a system that lasts. That is what the work in our portfolio is for. Before you commit to anything, we will tell you exactly who is certified and in what.
Azure Developer Associate
Building and deploying .NET workloads on Azure: app services, functions, storage, messaging and identity.
Azure Solutions Architect
How the system is shaped: cloud layout, networking, staying up under load, and what it costs to run. This is the one that matters at design time.
Power Platform and Dynamics
Connecting a .NET build into Dynamics 365, Power Platform and the rest of your Microsoft setup, rather than leaving it standing alone.
Security and identity
Entra ID, permissions and access control: the questions an enterprise security review will ask before anything is allowed to ship.
Experience
Four levels. Pick the mix you need.
Most teams need more than one level at the same time: a lead to run delivery, one or two senior engineers on the hard parts, a mid-level engineer shipping features, and an architect involved where the design is decided. The years below overlap on purpose, because a good senior engineer and a new lead sit in much the same place.
- Mid-level3-6 yrs
- Owns features end to end against an agreed design. Writes tests, reviews code, ships without hand-holding.
- Senior5-9 yrs
- Owns a service or subsystem. Makes the calls on data model, API shape and failure handling, and mentors the band below.
- Lead8-12 yrs
- Runs the delivery. Sequences the work, holds quality and release standards, and is the person your team talks to daily.
- Architect12-15+ yrs
- Sets the shape across systems: integration boundaries, security model, cloud topology and the migration path off whatever is there now.
Modern stack
Current .NET, not a decade-old stack
Plenty of teams still advertise .NET while shipping patterns from ten years ago. This is what we build on today, and what we move older systems onto when the case for it is real.

Our engineering hub
A team that takes your goal as its own
Our engineering hub in Pakistan is where the building happens. It is a studio culture rather than a service desk: engineers who ask why a feature exists, argue for the simpler option, and care what happens to the product after launch. We hire for that, and it is why people stay long enough to know your codebase properly.
Partners, not order takers
We want the vision and the constraints, not just the ticket. An engineer who understands what you are trying to win at will tell you when the ticket is wrong.
Trained, continuously
Internal workshops plus training brought in from people who have shipped at scale. Certifications are the floor; what the team teaches each other is how it stays ahead.
Continuity you can feel
The same faces across a project and beyond it. Context stays in the team instead of being rebuilt every time someone rotates off.
Your goals on our board
We track what the work is meant to achieve, not just what shipped, and we will say when something on the roadmap is not worth building.
How we work together
Choose the delivery model, we adapt to it
You already have a way of running projects. Rather than asking your team to learn ours, we work in whichever of these fits, and we will tell you on the first call which one we think suits the work in front of you.
Agile
Scrum sprints
Two-week sprints with planning, review and retro. Suits a roadmap still moving and a product owner who wants to steer every fortnight.
Best for: Evolving scope
Kanban
Continuous flow
A prioritised queue with work-in-progress limits and no fixed ceremony. Suits maintenance, support and priorities that change mid-week.
Best for: Shifting priorities
Fixed
Milestone delivery
Agreed scope, agreed milestones, agreed price. Suits a defined build or modernization where the finish line is known up front.
Best for: Known scope
Yours
Your process
SAFe, your own board, your ceremonies, your definition of done. We join what you already run rather than asking your team to learn ours.
Best for: Existing process
Why us
Named engineers, not resources
- You meet who you get
- The people on the first call are the people on the work. No senior engineer in the pitch who disappears once the contract is signed.
- We are direct about the model
- A United States point of contact, an Australian presence, and a core engineering team in Pakistan. That is how the rate works, and we would rather say it up front than have you discover it later.
- Estimates we will stand behind
- We read the code before quoting and give ranges, not a single number chosen to win the work. When the cheaper option is not hiring us, we say so on the first call.
Dubai · May 2024
Aquacon Invest Champion 2024
Our engineers went up against an international field in Dubai and won, judged on software running in live conditions rather than on slides. The trophy is not the point. The people who pulled that off are the same ones who would be on your project.

Chuck MitchelsHeartlineQuestions
What teams ask before starting
What does Microsoft-certified actually mean here?
Engineers on the team hold current Microsoft role-based certifications, mostly in Azure development, solution architecture, and Power Platform and Dynamics. A certification proves someone knows the platform properly. It does not prove they can design a system that lasts, which is why we point you at the portfolio as well. We will tell you who is certified and in what before you commit to anything.
What seniority do we actually get?
Usually a mix of levels rather than one. A typical team is a delivery lead, one or two senior engineers and a mid-level engineer, with an architect involved while the design is being set. Experience runs from about three years at mid-level to fifteen or more for an architect. We name the actual people and their experience in the plan rather than calling them resources.
Is this staff augmentation or a delivery team?
Either. Some clients embed our engineers into their own team and standups; others hand over an outcome and want us to run delivery. The engineering is the same, but the plan is written differently, so tell us which you want on the first call.
Where are the engineers based?
Our core engineering team is in Pakistan, with a United States point of contact and phone line for new projects and account matters, plus an Australian presence. That onshore-relationship, offshore-delivery model is how we keep senior engineering at a competitive rate, and we are direct about it rather than implying a local team.
Can you work on an existing codebase?
Most of our work is exactly that: systems already in production that cannot stop while they change. We start by reading the code and running it, then give you an honest read on whether to extend, refactor or replace. We have recommended all three, including where that meant less work for us.
How quickly can someone start?
Usually within one to two weeks for a mid or senior engineer, longer for an architect or a full team. The written plan after the first call includes real availability rather than an assumed start date.
