A senior technical leader inside your company for a stretch: setting architecture, hiring, running delivery, and keeping the roadmap honest. You get the judgment without the full-time salary.
For: funded startups without a technical co-founder, and teams between leaders.
Agent pipelines, LLM features and automation, built to hold up in production. We'll tell you plainly when AI is the wrong tool for the job.
For: companies putting AI into production systems.
Design through launch for web and mobile apps. We handle architecture and build, bring in designers when the work calls for it, and stay through release and iteration.
For: founders and product teams who know what they want built.
System design, technical due diligence, build versus buy decisions, and roadmap reviews. Short engagements with written findings you can act on without us.
For: leadership teams and investors who need a straight technical answer.
Client work is confidential as a rule, so you'll find sectors here rather than names. We can go into specifics on a call, and put you in touch with references.
Built a custom platform for a US health technology company whose founders came from the clinical side, not engineering. We made the technical calls so they did not have to, and they finished with a product, not a prototype.
Came into a global fashion company mid-build to get an offshore team back on track, tighten the build and hit the dates. Then planned the new architecture and helped migrate the platform onshore to their own engineers.
Technical lead for an Australian legal tech platform: architecture, an AI pipeline, and delivery from first commit to a production MVP.
Built the platform for an education technology company, then stayed on through their first fundraising rounds while investors examined what they were backing.
Founded by an engineer who has built the product, and answered for it to a board.
Scalar Labs was founded by Adam Love. Adam has founded startups and raised venture capital for them, led engineering organisations, and started out in robotics before moving into apps, AI systems and consulting.
We work with AI agents throughout. We use them daily for research, code and operations, and that experience carries straight into what we build for clients. When an engagement needs more hands we bring in designers and offshore engineers we've worked with before, and we manage them properly. You always know who is doing the work and how it's going.
