Engineering services

Small, bounded software problems. Tested, reviewed, handed back cleanly.

Backlog Busted turns existing engineering work into an explicit brief, verifies the repository state, implements in isolation, runs the evidence, and performs a separate review before handoff.

Choose the work type

Pick one thing you want handled.

Every service follows the same controlled process. The only difference is what we inspect and what “done” means.

Test Coverage SprintRegression, edge-case, and error-path tests.→ CI RescueFailing Actions, flaky tests, lint, types, and builds.→ PR RescueFinish a stalled pull request without widening its scope.→ Dependency UpgradeUpgrade a bounded package or SDK set and repair compatibility.→ Migration SprintFramework, runtime, API, SDK, or CI migrations.→ Bug Reproduction + FixReproduce the defect, fix it, and add regression evidence.→ API / Integration SprintAPIs, webhooks, billing, auth, and third-party systems.→ Codebase Cleanup SprintBounded technical-debt cleanup without a repo-wide rewrite.→ Agency OverflowExtra implementation capacity behind an existing client relationship.→

Implement + review

One lane implements. A separate lane reviews. The client controls merge.
