Why trust Stonetusker
Most delivery problems aren't
technology problems.
They're architecture and
coordination problems.
technology problems.
They're architecture and
coordination problems.
I've been inside engineering organisations for 26 years — first as a build engineer in 1999, then running release teams at Nokia through the Symbian era, then leading a globally distributed engineering function at Vocera, a Stryker company, where 300+ engineers depended on the delivery infrastructure I built and maintained.
Across every company and every sector, the same pattern appeared. Teams grow, delivery slows down, and people assume the tooling is the problem. Usually it isn't. The constraint is almost always structural — how work moves across team boundaries, how compliance is woven into the pipeline, how the build system scales as more people touch it.
I founded Stonetusker because I wanted to apply what I'd spent 26 years learning to the specific problem of delivery friction in regulated, mission-critical environments. I also serve as fractional CIO at Healioscan, building the engineering foundation for an AI-based cancer detection product — which keeps me accountable to the same constraints every CTO I work with faces: move fast, stay compliant, don't break things that matter.
Every Stonetusker engagement starts with understanding your architecture and coordination reality before recommending anything. We don't sell playbooks. We build delivery systems specific to your team, your stack, and your regulatory environment.

Release Management
Consistent, predictable release cycles with full visibility
for engineering and leadership — no more release-day anxiety.
05
DevOps Strategy & Culture
Align people, processes, and tooling around a single delivery
philosophy — so engineering and operations pull in the same direction.

Real Results, Delivered Fast
A sample of what Stonetusker has delivered — faster pipelines, safer deployments, and measurable results across embedded systems, SaaS platforms, and regulated industries.
IoT Manufacturer
Embedded build time cut from 4 hours to 35 minutes
Automated Yocto-based build pipelines on cloud infrastructure with full IaC — what used to block the team for half a day now completes before the next standup. 8× faster builds, zero-downtime OTA deployments from day one of the new pipeline.

Your Project, Protected from Day One
We know what it feels like to bet on a new partner. Every Stonetusker engagement is structured so that the risk sits with us — not with you. Here is exactly how.
Pilot-First
Start with 2–3 weeks before you commit to anything
Every engagement begins with a focused paid pilot — scoped, time-boxed, and built to produce something real. You see the work, validate the approach, and only then decide whether to continue to the full 90-day plan. No long contracts signed on faith.
Full Visibility
Your leadership sees everything — in real time
Pipeline progress, code reviews, deployment metrics, and milestone status are all shared with your team throughout the engagement. No black-box delivery, no "trust us, it's working" updates. You always know exactly where things stand.
Milestone-Based
You pay for results — not for time spent trying
Billing is tied to agreed milestones, not to hours logged. If a milestone isn't achieved, you don't pay for that phase. Our incentives align entirely with your outcomes — which is how it should work when you're trusting someone with your delivery pipeline.
100% transparent delivery
No hidden fees
No long-term lock-ins
The Difference You Won’t Find
in a Standard SOW
Three things Stonetusker does that most DevOps consultancies won’t put in writing — because they don’t actually offer them.
Confidentiality
NDA — signed before you share a single architecture diagram
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA or MNDA, signed before any technical discussion. Your codebase, infrastructure, IP, and internal processes stay completely confidential. We put it in writing because trust without a contract is just a claim.
Custom-Fit
Assessed before proposed — never templated
We study your stack, your team structure, and your release blockers before writing a single line of the plan. What we deliver is built around your specific environment — not adapted from a playbook that worked for a different company in a different sector.
20+ Years
Architecture that scales with you — not just today’s stack
Two decades of delivery engineering across cloud, embedded, and regulated industries means we’ve seen what breaks at scale — and we design around it from the start. Your infrastructure stays relevant as your team, your product, and your cloud environment grow.
Questions we hear before every first call
Our stack is unusual — we run Embedded Linux, custom hardware,
and a cloud control plane. Can you actually handle that?
Yes — and it’s one of our most common engagement types. We work across Embedded Linux, Yocto, bare-metal, cloud-native, and everything between. We have specific 90-day plans for Automotive, Embedded & Defense, IoT, and Telco precisely because these stacks need different approaches. The discovery pilot is structured exactly to assess your environment before we propose anything.
We’ve been burned before. How long before we see
something real — not a report, actual working infrastructure?
The 2–3 week pilot produces something tangible — a working pipeline stage, an automated process, or a validated architecture decision — before you’ve committed to the full 90-day plan. By day 60 of the full engagement you typically see 2–3× faster release cycles. If the pilot doesn’t deliver, you don’t pay for the next phase. That’s in the agreement, not just a promise.
What happens after the 90 days? Are we dependent on you
to keep things running?
No. The handover is built into the plan from day one — runbooks, documentation, and a two-week live operations period where your team runs everything with us alongside. At day 90 your team owns it fully, with no ongoing Stonetusker dependency required. Optional post-engagement support is available, on your terms, without a retainer. Most clients don’t need it.
You’ve read enough.
