Vendor-neutral solutions architecture and consulting — on-premise, cloud, and hybrid. We integrate AI tooling into the delivery pipeline to accelerate outcomes without sacrificing quality.
Six principles that keep every engagement grounded in reality.
Every engagement starts with your business requirements, constraints, and goals — not a technology shortlist. The architecture follows the business, not the other way around.
Platforms and tools chosen because they fit your workflows, your team, and your operational reality — not because they're on a preferred vendor list or familiar from the last engagement.
Systems designed for longevity — maintainable by your team, documented for the long haul, and able to grow with the business without requiring a rearchitecture every few years.
We integrate AI tooling into the delivery pipeline — code generation, automated testing, documentation, and infrastructure-as-code — to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
We audit how you actually work — your processes, workflows, and customer touchpoints — then recommend technologies that enable efficiency, not force it. Understand your reality first; technology follows.
Every engagement is the beginning of a partnership, not the end of a project. We're invested in your success long after delivery — available for guidance, evolution, and adaptation as your business and technology landscape change.
Senior-level expertise across the full stack. No preferred vendor list — just what actually fits.
End-to-end technical design from business requirements through detailed implementation blueprints. Includes documentation, reference architectures, and technology selection rationale your team can own long-term.
Workload placement strategy, migration planning, and cost optimisation across Azure, AWS, and on-premise environments. Designed for operational reality, not theoretical best practice.
Structured audit of how work flows through your organization. We map current-state processes, identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks, then recommend specific technologies and workflow improvements that deliver measurable ROI. Focuses on operational reality: where manual handoffs waste time, where data re-entry happens, where approvals bottleneck — and what specific tools actually solve it.
See your products and services through the eyes of your customers. We audit the customer journey — from awareness through support — identifying friction points, unanswered questions, and missed opportunities. Deliverables include a prioritized roadmap of process, technology, and messaging improvements that reduce churn, accelerate sales, and improve customer satisfaction.
Connecting disparate platforms into coherent, maintainable workflows — APIs, middleware, identity federation, and data pipelines. Eliminates the manual bridges that accumulate over time.
AI agents handle the boilerplate, research, and iteration cycles — code generation, testing, documentation — so senior expertise stays focused on decisions that actually need a human brain.
Technical scoping, RFP responses, proof-of-concept builds, and stakeholder presentations. Translates complex solutions into clear business outcomes for procurement, leadership, and technical audiences. Can also embed as a technical SME supporting your sales team through complex deals and vendor evaluations.
Strengthen your team while we work. Structured mentoring, hands-on pairing, and focused training sessions transfer expertise directly — your team leaves not just with systems, but with the knowledge to maintain, evolve, and improve them.
Structured review of your current environment — identifying risks, gaps, and technical debt. Delivered as a prioritised modernisation roadmap with clear rationale and sequencing.
Hands-on execution when the project needs someone who can both design and build — standing up infrastructure, configuring systems, validating against the design, and handing off cleanly to operations.
Backup architecture, disaster recovery planning, and restoration validation. Covers on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments — including RTO/RPO target setting and documented, tested recovery procedures.
No vendor lock-in. Open-source tools, open standards, open relationships. Your infrastructure, your rules. Azure, AWS, on-prem, or any combination thereof — the right solution for your environment.
A structured process that keeps scope clear, stakeholders aligned, and delivery predictable.
Defined scope, timeline, and deliverables. Best for discrete initiatives — migrations, platform rollouts, and architecture engagements.
Fixed Scope · SOW-DrivenOngoing access for strategic guidance, design reviews, and vendor evaluations. Keeps a senior technical voice in the room without a full-time hire.
Monthly Hours · FlexibleWorking inside your team for the duration of a programme — attending standups, contributing directly to delivery, and transferring knowledge as the engagement progresses.
Team-Integrated · Knowledge TransferDeep-dive assessment of processes, infrastructure, or customer experience — delivered as a comprehensive roadmap with prioritization, cost-benefit analysis, and implementation sequencing.
Research-Driven · ActionableSix active infrastructure projects developed under the Parallax Group umbrella — working software that demonstrates the range and rigour applied to every client engagement.
Network observability and operations platform — real-time monitoring, device interactions, performance metrics, and diagnostic tools for network engineers, unified in a single interface.
Distributed firewall management platform for Proxmox VMs — token-authenticated onboarding, nftables rule engine, WireGuard tunnels, DHCP/DNS, and drift detection across the topology.
Self-hosted AI inference server — provisions a complete AI stack (Ollama, Open WebUI, n8n, LightRAG) in a single guided workflow, from bare metal to running inference.
Duplicate file finder and manager — scans storage, identifies redundant files across directories, and provides a safe interface for reviewing and resolving duplicates without mass-deletion risk.
Proxmox datacenter manager — unified management for Proxmox VE, PBS, UPS, and switching — four separate admin surfaces collapsed into one clear view.
NUT UPS management dashboard — centralised status, load, runtime estimates, event history, and configuration — without touching config files directly.
