We engineer
what matters.

Mission-critical infrastructure, security, software and AI engineering for complex organisations. Built on three decades of doing exactly this.

Scroll

Complex systems
are not a side project.
They're all we do.

Three decades of designing, securing and operating the platforms that enterprises depend on — and fifteen years of building the software that runs on them. We engineer resilient, governed, measurable systems and we stay accountable for them long after go-live.

Four disciplines.
One standard.

Every engagement led by senior engineers. Every deliverable documented, governed and measurable.

01

Infrastructure
Engineering

Resilient platform foundations across cloud, hybrid and on-premise environments. Designed for reliability, governed for cost, and built to evolve without re-platforming.

Security
Engineering

Defence in depth, from identity and posture management to detection engineering and incident response. Operating models that hold under real pressure – not bolt-on afterthoughts.

Software
Engineering

Fifteen years of building enterprise applications, API platforms and systems integration — rooted in the infrastructure and security knowledge that most development teams never have. Code that's secure by design because we understand every layer it sits on.

Practical AI with proper governance. Predictive operations, intelligent automation and data foundations – delivered with auditability, measurable outcomes, and full operational support.

Senior engineers lead
every engagement.
No exceptions.

The architects who design your platform are the same people who write your code and answer the phone. No account managers. No ticket queues. No layers between you and the people who build and support your systems.

There is no shortcut to understanding complex systems. It takes years of building platforms, writing the software that runs on them, breaking both under pressure, and learning what actually holds when everything else fails. That is what decades of focus gives you. Not a portfolio — a permanent instinct for what works.

Built through
every era.

We didn't read about these shifts. We engineered through them — migrating, securing, building and rebuilding production systems while the technology was still maturing.

Mid-1990s

The foundation years

Enterprise server rooms, Novell to Windows NT migrations, building the first resilient networks for organisations that were only just beginning to depend on them. We learned infrastructure when failure meant walking into a building and fixing it by hand.

Early 2000s

Scale and security

Virtualisation changed everything. We were early — consolidating sprawling physical estates into governed virtual platforms while building the first serious perimeter security for organisations that were suddenly exposed to the internet at scale.

2008–2012

Cloud, done properly

While others rushed to lift-and-shift, we re-architected. Hybrid platforms designed for resilience and governed for cost from day one. We built the operational models that meant cloud actually delivered on its promise — not just moved the problem.

~2011

Software engineering begins

A natural evolution. After fifteen years of building the platforms, we started building the applications that run on them. Enterprise software, API layers, systems integration — all rooted in deep infrastructure and security knowledge that most development teams simply don't have. The same engineers who understood every layer of the stack were now writing the code that depended on it.

2013–2022

Zero-trust, automation and code

Identity-first security. Detection engineering. Infrastructure-as-code at enterprise scale. DevSecOps pipelines that turned weeks into hours. Our software and infrastructure practices fused — security embedded into every layer, every pipeline, every deployment. The disciplines stopped being separate and became one engineering culture.

2023–Today

AI with engineering discipline

Practical AI built on proper data foundations. Predictive operations, intelligent automation and AI governance frameworks — delivered with the same rigour we've applied to infrastructure and software for decades. No hype. No experiments on production systems. Measurable outcomes.

What decades of focus
actually teaches you.

01

The full stack matters

Infrastructure, security and software are not separate disciplines — they're layers of the same system. We've engineered all of them, together, for long enough to understand how they interact, where they break, and why teams that only see one layer keep building the wrong thing.

02

Patterns repeat

The platforms change. The failure modes don't. Decades of incident response, disaster recovery and post-mortems means we've seen every way infrastructure and software fails — and we design against all of them from the start.

03

Focus compounds

We've never chased trends or diversified into things we don't understand. Thirty years of infrastructure. Fifteen years of software. One engineering culture. The depth of knowledge in this team is simply not available elsewhere.

one culture

Engineering-led.
End-to-end.

Security-by-default, automation, documentation and measurable SLAs at every stage – from first assessment through to ongoing operations.

01

Assess

Deep technical audit. We map your environment, dependencies, risks and opportunities before writing a single proposal.

02

Architect

Platform and application blueprints built for resilience, security and governance. Every design decision documented and defensible.

03

Deliver

Minimal-disruption implementation with rigorous testing. Zero tolerance for unplanned downtime. Security at every layer of infrastructure and code.

04

Operate

Continuous assurance. Proactive monitoring, reliability engineering, and measurable improvement – we stay with you.

We don't learn
on your time.
We already know.

When you engage Toltec, you get engineers who have already solved a version of your problem — probably more than once, across multiple technology generations, in both infrastructure and code, under real operational pressure. That isn't something you can hire for. It's something that only comes from doing this, relentlessly, for decades.

This is what experience actually looks like. Not a timeline on a website. A team that already knows.

Let's talk
engineering.

No pitch decks. No jargon. A straight conversation between engineers about what you need.
