FAQ

Common questions

How does the small specialist studio model work?

AandZ.tech stays senior and focused. Amir leads the technical direction and implementation, then brings in trusted specialists only when a project needs added capacity.

What project sizes are a fit?

The best fit is a focused delivery window: architecture reviews, AI MVPs, production hardening, service-boundary work, or fractional principal engineer support.

Can you work with our existing engineering team?

Yes. Most engagements are designed to support an internal product or platform team with design docs, implementation help, review habits, and clear handover.

Do you implement or only advise?

Both. We can advise on architecture, but the strongest fit is hands-on work where strategy, implementation, testing, observability, and handover stay connected.
