Who we are

A Dublin-based consultancy for CTOs, engineering directors, and transformation leads who need senior people on the ground — designing architecture, running migrations, hardening pipelines, and handing over systems your team can operate without us.

Services

From architecture decisions to release acceleration

Each practice area is led by consultants who implement — not delegate. Engagements are scoped to business outcomes: lower run cost, faster releases, compliant migration, reliable platforms.

02

Cloud Enablement

Landing zones, workload migration, and FinOps on AWS, Azure, and GCP — designed for Irish and UK data residency.

25–35% cost reduction in two quarters

03

DevOps & DevSecOps

CI/CD, IaC, automated security gates, and SRE — integrated without six-month tooling projects.

CVE remediation under 48 hours

04

Platform Engineering

Internal developer platforms with golden paths and self-service environments.

Onboarding: weeks to days

05

Data & Analytics

Lakehouse architecture, pipelines, and governance for AI workloads.

Why Irish Guru

Milestones delivered — not hours billed

Large integrators sell capacity. We sell completed milestones — architecture signed off, migration waves delivered, pipelines in production.

Our model suits organisations burned by advisory-only engagements — people who sit in your stand-ups, write the Terraform, and stay through go-live.

Scope

Outcome-defined engagements

Fees tied to deployment frequency, migration waves, audit findings closed — reviewed weekly with your sponsor.

Regulation

Regulated-sector delivery muscle

Central Bank, FCA, NCSC, OGP, NHS DSPT — compliance built into delivery, not a separate workstream.

Capabilities

Technologies we deploy in client environments

Tooling is selected for your constraints — existing licences, team skills, and regulator preferences — not vendor partnerships.

FAQ

Questions we hear from buyers

We are deliberately small. Senior practitioners lead every engagement and remain hands-on through delivery. There are no offshore backfill layers, and we scope work to finish — not to extend across multi-year frameworks by default.

Alongside. We embed with your engineers, platform teams, and security functions. Knowledge transfer — pairing, documentation, runbooks — is built into the schedule, not added at the end if budget remains.

Yes. We regularly deliver under Central Bank oversight, FCA governance, NCSC cloud principles, OGP and CCS procurement, and NHS DSPT. We adapt to your change-advisory board, security review, and audit processes rather than imposing a separate methodology.

Most relationships start with a two- to four-week discovery: current-state assessment, stakeholder alignment, and a scoped delivery plan with explicit milestones. From there, engagements range from 10-week accelerators to multi-year platform programmes — always with defined exit criteria.

Yes. We deliver across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland — remote, hybrid, or on-site. Our consultants work within both Irish and UK regulatory and procurement contexts regularly.
