Need senior hands inside the team?
Codev is the practical answer to “we need help, but not another agency handoff.” We plug into your team, get the work moving, and leave the codebase in better shape.
Sometimes a project does not need an agency relationship. It needs someone who can open the repo, join the stand-up, and help get a feature over the line. That is codev.
Robot Breaker is a live example: we worked on the Android game as part of a codev team, alongside the people already building it. No parallel process. No watching from the fence.
We work in your stack and at your cadence, adding capacity and senior judgement without another translation layer. You set the direction; the work lands in your pull requests. We document as we go, help level up the team around us, and hand the keys back when the job is done.
Robot Breaker,
with Gentlemen’s.
Robot Breaker is a live mobile game, not a quiet prototype hiding in a test build. We joined Gentlemen’s as part of the codev team and worked inside a product that was already moving.
It ships on iOS and Android. That is the useful version of codev: no grand handover, just work landing in the game people are already playing.
What we hold to
- Your stack, your cadence. We work inside your tools and rhythm, not a parallel process bolted on the side.
- Senior, hands-on. People who write the code and make the calls — not a layer of management billing by the hour.
- Hand the keys back. We document, level up your team, and leave the codebase better than we found it.

Questions we get
- How is this different from hiring an agency?
- An agency takes a project away and hands it back. We work inside your team — your repo, your stand-ups, your roadmap — adding capacity and senior judgement without a translation layer in between.
- Do you work in our stack?
- Yes. Codev means working in your tools, your conventions, and your cadence, not importing ours. The work lands in your pull requests and looks like it belongs there.
- How long does an engagement run?
- As long as it is useful and no longer. Some are a few intense weeks to clear a deadline; others are an ongoing retainer. We are built to hand the keys back, so you are never locked in.
- What size of team do you slot into?
- Anything from a solo founder who needs a second senior brain to an established team that is one or two people short of its roadmap. We scale the embed to the gap, not the other way round.
