Your payments, your legacy platform or your slowest job has outgrown what it was built for. We find where it breaks, fix it, and hand it back to your team.
A payout that times out after the provider accepted it. A webhook that arrives twice. A worker that dies in the middle of a money job. We find where your system breaks on days like that and close the gaps: idempotency keys, duplicate-event protection, partial-failure recovery, and a reconciliation finance can close the month from.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee assessment of the system you have.
Practices
Each starts with a fixed-fee assessment: a written report and a costed roadmap.
01 / 03 Payments
Accepting, paying out and reconciling on Stripe, Adyen, Unit, Checkout.com, Plaid, Visa Direct and Mastercard MoneySend. Every integration gets idempotency and a daily check of ledger, provider and bank.
Payments practice02 / 03 Modernization
Off .NET Framework, Java or the monolith without a big-bang rewrite. A strangler façade moves one slice at a time, so you keep shipping throughout.
Modernization practice03 / 03 Performance
The slow job, pipeline or hot path your business waits on. We measure it, explain it, then fix it against the number: code, queries, I/O, concurrency or infrastructure.
Performance practiceMethod
Every practice follows the same four steps. The assessment has a fixed fee, and you keep its report even if someone else does the build.
01 / 04 1 to 3 weeks
A fixed fee, agreed before we start. We read the code, the data and how it runs, and mark every risk by severity. You get a written, severity-ranked report.
02 / 04 Assessment
A target design and a costed roadmap, ordered so the riskiest things come first. You can stop here and build with anyone.
03 / 04 Fixed price
A date, change control and milestone billing. A design document comes before any code that touches money or data, and you get a written status every week, including when the news is bad.
04 / 04 Yours
The system and its design documents move to your team. If you want us on call for what we built, a monthly retainer is priced on coverage and response time.
Self-checks
Three self-checks built from our own checklists. Scored in your browser, nothing sent.
Whether money can be duplicated or lost silently today, and what to fix first.
Whether a migration can start safely today and which prerequisites are missing. No code access needed.
Whether your slow path is worth a five-day diagnosis, what it most likely is, and what to measure first.
Record
Our principal, Rey Narvaez, delivered these results in regulated production before Aripone was formed, over more than a decade as a senior engineer in reinsurance, fintech, identity and money movement.
Payments. Push-to-card payouts over Visa Direct and Mastercard MoneySend on a regulated banking platform, reaching the card in minutes instead of days, with idempotency and partial-failure recovery.
Performance. A regulated calculation job cut from 27 hours to 8 per run, so it can run three times as often.
Performance. About 30% of the database load removed from a production platform.
Modernization. C# and .NET estates moved to modern stacks.
