for Scaling Tech Companies
Senior technical ownership, without the cost of a full-time hire. Fixed-scope engagements. Direct involvement. No agency overhead.
Engineering backlogs grow faster than the team can handle. Architecture decisions keep getting deferred because nobody owns them. A critical project needs to ship but internal capacity or seniority is not there. Tech debt is compounding and nobody has the bandwidth or authority to address it.
You need a senior technical brain you can trust, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
That is what Lumenworks Digital provides.
Deliverable
A structured report covering current workflow inefficiencies, AI applicability mapping, tooling recommendations, and a prioritised implementation roadmap.
Deliverable

Other engagements
Beyond the fixed-scope offers above, Lumenworks Digital also takes on solution architecture, technical leadership, integrations and APIs, and longer-form advisory work for the right brief. Start with a discovery call and we will scope it together.

Client
self-sufficient
Engagement concluded when the internal team regained strategic clarity to continue independently.
The Situation
A UK same-day logistics firm had reached a point where its existing development vendor was no longer delivering to expectations. Work was being produced, but the Managing Director lacked the independent technical perspective to judge its quality, direction, or viability. He found Lumenworks Digital through Alexandre's professional presence online and engaged the consultancy to provide that perspective.
The Approach
Alexandre engaged as Technical Advisor, reporting directly to the Managing Director. The work covered three connected themes: independent assessment of the incumbent vendor's output (which led to a structured exit), target solution architecture defined with diagrams readable by non-technical stakeholders, and proposals, requirements, and management of the successor vendor arrangements achieving 95% on-time sprint delivery.
The Outcome
The engagement concluded in 2025 when the internal team had regained sufficient strategic clarity to continue without external advisory. The Managing Director was able to lead the next phase from within his own organisation. For an advisory engagement, this is the ideal conclusion: the client received the outside perspective they needed during a difficult transition, and emerged confident enough not to need it any more.
I highly recommend Alexandre for any long-term CTO or IT consulting collaboration. He is patient, trustworthy, experienced, and always thinks along in a constructive and strategic way. He brings strong knowledge of Microsoft technologies, .NET, and broader IT infrastructure, and my experience working with him has been very positive. I have entrusted him with the full IT side of our operations, which reflects the confidence I have in his capabilities and professionalism.

Founder / CEO
There are few people who can tackle complex tasks independently with minimal information, and Alex is one of them. When working on specialized operations, there is often limited space for involvement, but Alex consistently steps up. With his deep expertise, vast knowledge, and mastery of software principles and patterns, he will undoubtedly strengthen any team he joins. I highly recommend Alex for his backend expertise and the great experience of working with him.
