Mindworks Technology Ltd · London

Software for things that live in the real world.

A London consultancy that designs, builds and runs connected products, from the device in the field to the cloud behind it.

01 · Services

Six ways to work with Mindworks.

Clients combine whichever ones the work needs.

01Advice

Architecture and technical consultancy

System design reviews, target architectures and the decisions in between: build or buy, monolith or services, which cloud, which protocol. Clients receive written recommendations their teams can act on, with the reasoning behind each one.

  • Architecture reviews
  • Tech due diligence
  • ADRs
  • Roadmaps
02Systems

IoT systems, end to end

Connected products from the device up: provisioning, telemetry pipelines, OTA updates, fleet management and the dashboards on top. This is the layer where hardware and software teams most often talk past each other, and where Mindworks does its best work.

  • Device management
  • Fleet tracking
  • 4G/LTE
  • MQTT
  • Remote updates
03Build

Hands-on software delivery

When a project needs code more than advice, Mindworks builds it: backend services, APIs, integrations and the infrastructure they run on, delivered with tests, documentation and a codebase the client team can own.

  • Backend and APIs
  • Cloud infrastructure
  • CI/CD
  • Integrations
04Run

DevOps and infrastructure operations

Keeping production fast, stable and observable. Mindworks manages servers and cloud infrastructure, configures CDNs and traffic routing, and sets up monitoring and alerting so issues are caught before customers notice. Available as a one-off hardening project or as ongoing support.

  • Server management
  • CDN
  • Load balancing
  • Monitoring
  • Alerting
05Lead

Interim team leadership

Engineering leadership while a company hires, reorganises or recovers a delivery that has slipped. That covers running the team day to day, introducing processes that fit its size, and a clean handover once a permanent lead is in place.

  • Engineering management
  • Delivery process
  • Hiring
  • Mentoring
06Evaluate

Technology evaluation and adoption

Before a client commits to a platform, vendor or tool, Mindworks trials it against their real constraints, reports the findings and, if it holds up, leads the rollout. Problems surface in week one rather than month six.

  • Vendor trials
  • Proofs of concept
  • Rollout
  • Developer tooling
