What we do, and how we work on it
Failing Core Web Vitals, fighting fires, or watching cloud spend climb? Engagements run from a focused audit to ongoing fractional leadership. Most start with a conversation and a look at what you already have.
Hitchpost is a principal-led practice covering the parts of software people actually feel. How fast it loads. Whether it stays up under pressure. What it costs to run. Wherever you start, the goal is the same: systems faster, sturdier, and easier to run than we found them.

How we work
Principles that shape every engagement
Keep it simple
Complexity is debt, in code, process, and communication. We reach for the solution with the fewest moving parts.
Measure, then move
Real numbers, before and after, drive every change. Small iterations keep the work honest.
Performance is UX
Speed and reliability aren't back-office metrics. They're how your users experience trust.
Good enough ships
Perfection is the enemy of done. We iterate; the first version teaches us what the second needs.
Leave it documented
If it isn't written down, it didn't happen. We hand off written procedures and the reasoning behind each decision, in a form your team can actually use.
Take the harder path
We build sustainable systems with safe defaults, so things don't hinge on one person's heroics.
Ways to start
Fixed-scope engagements, priced up front
A focused audit, a health check, a cost review, a workshop, or an hour on the problem. Scope and price are agreed before anything starts.
Ready when you are
Not sure which you need?
Most engagements touch a few of these at once. Tell us what's slow, fragile, or keeping you up at night, and we'll come back with a plan.
