SERVICES

Senior product thinking. Serious engineering depth.

Backlot helps teams shape, build, rescue, and scale software where the details matter and the cost of getting them wrong is real.

CAPABILITIES

Useful from the first whiteboard to the last release gate.

Product strategy: Turn a promising idea, tangled roadmap, or unclear brief into a product direction your team can act on.
Web and mobile apps: Beautiful, responsive products engineered across the full stack—from interaction details to durable domain logic.
SaaS platforms: Multi-tenant architecture, permissions, billing, entitlements, onboarding, reporting, and the systems behind a real software business.
AWS and cloud systems: Serverless and cloud-native architecture, infrastructure as code, observability, cost modeling, and production operations.
Security and sensitive data: Tenant isolation, identity, access control, audit trails, secure payments, and careful handling for regulated or sensitive workflows.
Integrations: Payments, communications, identity providers, CRMs, AI, analytics, and the APIs that hold critical workflows together.
Modernization: Untangle legacy systems, reduce operational risk, improve the user experience, and evolve the architecture without reckless rewrites.
Production readiness: Performance, reliability, testing, release gates, monitoring, incident evidence, and the final mile between ‘done’ and safely live.

ENGAGEMENTS

Build: A focused product team to take an idea or major capability from definition through production.
Embed: Senior engineering and product leadership inside an existing team for high-leverage, high-stakes work.
Unblock: A concentrated engagement to diagnose a difficult system, find the real failure mode, and deliver a safe path forward.
Advise: Ongoing principal-level guidance across architecture, roadmap, security, delivery, vendor choices, and technical due diligence.
