Client case study
Taking over a live platform mid-flight.
When Curio's previous team departed, we joined as the sole technical resource and took full ownership of a live platform, then built the team to carry it forward.

The challenge
A live product with no team
Curio's platform was live and in use, but the people who built it had gone. Someone had to understand the whole system fast, keep it running and keep shipping.
What we did
- Reverse-engineered the system
Rapidly got to grips with the entire platform without the original team to ask.
- Stabilised the codebase
Made the live platform dependable before building on it.
- Shipped critical features
Delivered the new features the business needed, while keeping the lights on.
- Built the new team
Recruited and onboarded new developers to form a sustainable team.
The result
A stabilised live platform, critical features delivered, and a new in-house team recruited and onboarded to own it going forward.
