Two engineers. Every layer of the stack.
contact@ritzconsulting.inWhat we do
We engage end-to-end or drop into a single layer of an existing system — architecture, backend, AI, cloud infrastructure, or the product surface itself.
Backend & architecture
The system design work that determines whether everything built on top of it holds up — service boundaries, data models, and the APIs that connect them.
- System & data architecture
- REST / GraphQL API design
- Multi-tenant & real-time systems
- Database design & migration
AI & data systems
Applied AI that survives contact with real users — LLM features, retrieval pipelines, and the data infrastructure they run on.
- LLM & agent integration
- RAG & retrieval pipelines
- Data pipelines & warehousing
- Model evaluation & monitoring
Cloud & DevOps
Infrastructure that scales up under load and scales down in cost — provisioned as code, monitored, and owned.
- AWS & GCP infrastructure
- CI/CD pipelines
- Cost engineering & rightsizing
- Observability & on-call setup
Frontend, mobile & desktop
The surface your users actually touch — built with the same engineering discipline as the systems behind it.
- Web applications (React / Next.js)
- Native iOS & Android
- Desktop applications
- Design systems & component libraries
Every one of these disciplines is delivered by the same two senior engineers — meet Elie and Ritvik, or read more about how we work.
Questions
What people ask before they reach out.
What does a software consulting agency actually do?
A software consulting agency designs, builds, and operates technology systems on a client's behalf — architecture, backend and frontend development, cloud infrastructure, and ongoing operation — instead of the client hiring and managing that engineering capability in-house.
How much does custom software development cost?
It depends on scope, but most Ritz Consulting engagements fall between $15,000 and $150,000+, priced by project scope rather than by the hour. We give a straight answer on cost within one business day of hearing what you're building.
What's the difference between a dev agency and hiring in-house?
Hiring in-house means recruiting, onboarding, and managing engineers directly, which takes months and carries ongoing overhead. A consultancy like Ritz Consulting gives you senior engineering capacity immediately, scoped to the project, without the long-term headcount commitment.
Do you build AI products?
Yes. We build production AI features — LLM and agent integration, retrieval pipelines, and the data infrastructure they depend on — not just prototypes. Elie has shipped production AI at scale in real-time operations platforms.
Why a two-person studio instead of a larger agency?
Staying small means the two senior engineers who scope your project are the same two people who build and deliver it — no account managers, no bench of juniors, no hand-offs. You get direct access throughout the engagement.
