About the Amigos

The Belief…

Our founder started his journey in 1997 as a computer engineer and entrepreneur, building awesome software products using the latest exciting tech. However, he quickly realised that technology is just an enabler to solving complex business problems and software products must adapt quickly and reliably to really deliver the business value.

Creating the conditions for this agility through flexible architecture and DevOps has been his mission ever since

The Beginning…

In November 2018, Tech Amigos was born with the mission to go beyond the industry buzz and hype and help our customers truly deliver on the promise of Agile and DevOps.

We do this by using our collection of frameworks, patterns and ready-made pipelines to accelerate our client’s DevOps capability.

The Journey…

We are now 5 amigos who share a diverse and extensive experience of working in the technology industry. But we all share a similar mindset and passion for helping our clients to turn their technology visions into reality.

So far on this journey, we have delivered the magical experiences to 3 clients.

We have a long journey ahead of us and a lot of work to do but we are on the road.

We take pride in our unique “Outcome based” pricing model when delivering solutions

Product Design

Digital product quality is only as good as its specifications

We apply a customer centric approach to product design and work with your product owners to define, hypothesise, and validate the product features. Our Amigos carry a toolbox of tips and techniques, including but not limited to prototyping, business canvas, that can help convert your ideas into realisable set of features that can then be provided to engineering teams.

Proposition Validation

We structure your idea into a set of “testable” hypothesis and validate them using a customer-centric design approach.

Outcomes – user journey sketches, analysed customer research and feature recommendations

Proposition Shaping

We conduct well-defined discovery sprint(s) to “tease-out” the idea and detail it into product features

.Outcomes – set of business canvasses and a functional product roadmap.

Product Backlog

We work as a “thinking-amigo” with your product owner and become a link between Product and Engineering.

Outcomes – well-groomed product backlog, prioritised sprint-backlog and documented feature definitions as Stories.

Software Architecture

Visualising technology in context of your business needs

We apply a pragmatic approach to architecture, work with your engineering teams to create a technology bounding context that is aligned with the strategic architecture. Our amigos have developed unique set of application and infrastructure patterns that ensure that your product is built on an extensible, scalable and resilient foundation.

Capability Assessment

We assess the AS-IS architecture to identify capability gaps, innovation opportunities and possible infrastructure cost optimisations.

Outcomes – AS-IS analysis, Solution options to help with decision making.

Architecture Roadmap

We create an architecture roadmap that documents different transition states to aid agile delivery whilst ensuring alignment with strategic target state.

Outcomes – Architecture roadmap describing delivery of capabilities with dependencies to assist with delivery plans

Incremental Designs

We work closely with your Engineering team to identify architecturally significant features and deliver necessary patterns or designs.

Outcomes – Designs to describe software patterns, Outline solutions for tech issues.

Engineering Automation

Enabling culture change for speed and quality

We apply a “Continuous Delivery” mindset and automate every aspect of the pipeline to increase the speed of feature delivery, whilst ensuring quality and reliability. Our amigos have built “Accelerators” that enable faster delivery of pipelines and the infrastructure automation. Our accelarator library is growing to support different cloud providers and deployment patterns

Environment Provisioning

We deliver platform agnostic Infrastructure As Code modules that automate the provisioning of different environments.

Outcomes – Terraform scripts that can be used within deployment pipelines

Pipelines and Toolchains

We deliver CI/CD pipelines for your applications , so the solutions are deployed magically as engineers merge the code. We create or optimise toolchains.

Outcomes – Code quality metrics, pipelines, Toolchain, Cloud deployments, Engineering experience.

DevOps Amigo

Our Amigos become part of your sprint team and provide necessary automation support to help you go faster.

Outcomes-Infrastructure support, Engineering support
