Who Is headlessengineer?
headlessengineer is a technology consultancy built for businesses that have a problem, not necessarily a tech stack in mind. We work across software engineering, solution architecture, and enterprise architecture - scoping every engagement around the business outcome first, then assembling the right technical approach and, where useful, the right specialists to deliver it. Built as a growing network of engineers and architects across disciplines, not a one-person shop pretending otherwise.
Problems we're built to solve
You have a business problem, not a spec
We start from the business problem, not a tech wishlist - assessing what's broken and designing a roadmap that fits your timeline, budget, and risk appetite.
Technology Audits · Build vs Buy · RoadmappingYour architecture needs to survive scale
We design systems that hold together as they grow - from a single platform to how technology decisions align across an entire organisation.
Solution Architecture · Enterprise Architecture · System DesignYou need it built, not just diagrammed
We build production software ourselves, and bring in vetted specialists for depth we don't carry in-house rather than stretch a generalist thin.
Full-Stack Engineering · API Design · Cloud-Native SystemsLegacy is holding the business back
We move businesses off systems that can't keep up - incrementally, without a risky big-bang rewrite.
Platform Modernisation · Strangler Fig MigrationsAI should do real work, not a demo
We design and ship AI systems that remove actual manual work from a business - built to run, not just demo.
Agentic Workflows · LLM Integration · Process AutomationDomains we bring genuine judgment to - and the disciplines we staff around them
Enterprise & Solution Architecture
We design at both the system level and the organisational level - how one platform is built, and how technology decisions across a business stay coherent as it grows.
System Design · API-First Design · Domain-Driven Design · Technology RoadmappingDistributed Systems & Cloud-Native Engineering
Backend systems designed to run at real load - event-driven microservices, container orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code, owned end-to-end.
Go · Kafka · Kubernetes · Event-Driven Architecture · AWSDigital Commerce Platforms
A specialty, not a boundary: deep, certified expertise in enterprise commerce platforms, built over 12+ years across B2B, B2C, and D2C models.
Spryker · Magento 2 · Adobe Commerce · SAP Commerce CloudAI & Agentic Systems
Production agentic automation - not notebooks. Multi-agent pipelines, LLM integration, and workflow automation applied to real operational bottlenecks.
n8n · CrewAI · Claude API · MCP Integration · Prompt EngineeringTechnical & Delivery Leadership
Senior judgment applied to how a team works, not just what it ships - team structure, delivery process, code standards, and hands-on mentorship.
Fractional CTO · Team Building · Mentorship · Agile DeliveryWhat It's Like to Work With Us
We scope around the problem, not our own stack
We'd rather tell you the right tool isn't one we specialise in than force-fit a solution to what we already know. Where that means bringing in another specialist, we do.
Technology-agnostic recommendations · Honest build-vs-buy callsWe take ownership, not just tasks
We treat the system as our responsibility - writing architecture decision records, tracking problems to root cause, and thinking about what happens six months after go-live.
ADRs · Incident ownership · No finish lines at launchWe test before we ship
We write tests before implementation, not as a ritual but because it catches the right problems at the right time - and we establish these practices in the teams we join.
TDD · BDD · Integration Testing · Acceptance TestingWe use AI to free up engineering judgment, not replace it
AI should handle the repetitive parts so engineers can focus on design, architecture, and the problems that actually require thinking. We build with that constraint in mind.
Agentic tooling · Prompt engineering · Workflow automationWe raise the standard, not just the output
We care about what a team leaves behind - the patterns, the practices, the habits. A codebase should be in better shape after we've worked on it, not just functionally complete.

Have a Problem Worth Solving?
Whether it's a strategy question, an architecture that needs to hold up, a platform that needs modernising, or a team that needs senior technical judgment - we're happy to talk through what you're working on.
