AI & RAG Development

Grounded LLM applications on your own documents: ingestion pipelines, hybrid retrieval, evaluation and observability, with citations you can trust.

Demos are easy; a RAG system that stays accurate on large, changing, permission-scoped data is not. We build the retrieval, evaluation and operations layers that make it dependable.

What you get

  • Document ingestion with chunking, metadata and selective vectorisation
  • Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vectors) with authorisation-aware filters
  • Grounded answers with citations and context budgeting
  • Evaluation harness, tracing and cost controls

Deliverables

  • RAG service (FastAPI) with provider-agnostic LLM access via LiteLLM
  • pgvector or managed vector store, embedding workers and job tracking
  • Retrieval quality evaluation set and dashboards
  • Multi-tenant access control and audit logging
  • Chat or search front end when required

Stack we use

  • FastAPI
  • LangGraph
  • LiteLLM
  • pgvector
  • PostgreSQL
  • Kafka
  • Prometheus / Grafana

From requirements to production

  1. 01Requirements

    A discovery call, then a written scope with acceptance criteria and a realistic estimate.

  2. 02Design

    Architecture, data model and API contracts agreed before code is written.

  3. 03Build

    Short iterations with demos; code reviewed, typed and documented as we go.

  4. 04Test

    Unit, integration and end-to-end tests; QA passes against the acceptance criteria.

  5. 05Deploy

    Docker, CI/CD and cloud setup with monitoring, then a production handover.

  6. 06Support

    Production bug fixing, performance tuning and improvements after launch.

Ways to work together

Fixed-scope project

A written scope, milestones and a fixed price. Best for a defined feature, integration, migration or redesign.

Monthly retainer

Reserved engineering hours every month for ongoing development, maintenance and production support.

Hourly & advisory

Architecture reviews, code reviews, pairing sessions and second opinions, billed by the hour.

Recent work

W3Colleges: a full redesign that kept every URL

This site is our own case study: a new design system, article reader, listing pages, search, login, hub pages and a CI/CD pipeline, delivered as a child theme without touching WordPress core, while 400+ articles, their URLs and SEO metadata stayed intact.

Questions

Which LLM providers do you support?

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure and self-hosted models through Ollama, behind one provider-agnostic layer so you can switch later.

Can this run fully on our infrastructure?

Yes. The reference architecture runs on Docker with PostgreSQL, Kafka and a self-hosted model if data must not leave your network.

How do you measure quality?

With an evaluation set built from your real questions: retrieval hit rate, groundedness and answer quality tracked per release.
