Your pipeline is the bottleneck.
We fix it in 90 days.
CI/CD automation, platform engineering, and fully automated deployment solutions for embedded and cloud teams.
Slow deployments are rarely just a tooling issue. We find and fix the architectural problems that slow down your releases, so your team can deploy on a Friday afternoon without stress.
Start with a 2-week pilot. We will map your bottlenecks and deliver the first working pipeline fix before you commit to the full 90-day project.
End-to-End DevOps Engineering,
Built Around Your Stack
We embed with engineering teams across SaaS, Fintech, Healthcare IT, Automotive, and Embedded Systems. We rebuild CI/CD pipelines, automate delivery workflows, and hand back infrastructure your team fully owns and understands. You see every step, and your team keeps every artifact.
What changes after you engage us
What We Build With You End to End
Ship with confidence on a Friday afternoon
CI/CD Pipeline ArchitectureAutomated, reliable pipelines built specifically for your code and release cadence, never adapted from a generic template.
Cut manual release steps down to zero
Build and Deployment AutomationEliminate manual steps and human error from every release. Fast execution, complete audit trails, and consistent results every time.
Catch regressions before code reaches staging
Automated Quality GatesUnit, integration, security, and performance quality gates wired directly into the pipeline, keeping broken builds away from production.
Predictable delivery with zero release day anxiety
Release Management and CadenceConsistent, predictable release workflows with full visibility for engineering and leadership, so shipping code feels routine.
Get engineering and operations pulling in one direction
Platform Strategy and AlignmentAlign your team, workflows, and tooling around a single delivery philosophy so your platform scales smoothly as headcount grows.
Eliminate snowflake servers and environment drift
Infrastructure Automation and IaCFull Terraform automation, exact environment parity, and cloud cost optimization designed for your real workload.
High-level architectural guidance whenever you need it
On-Demand Platform AdvisoryYour team owns 100% of the platform at day 90. If you ever need ad-hoc architectural reviews, major pipeline upgrades, or incident escalation, we remain available on demand or month to month, with no mandatory retainers.
We build your entire delivery stack from the ground up, infrastructure included.
Most early-stage teams have to bolt infrastructure together just to survive and ship. We get it. But eventually, that survival architecture starts slowing you down. We help you transition to a foundation built for scale.
This is a full end-to-end engagement. We start before you write a single line of infrastructure code. That means advising on what to buy, what to skip, which cloud services fit your scale and budget today, and what you will grow into over the next two years. Then we build it, wire it up, and hand it over to your team fully documented and running in production.
Most delivery problems are not technology problems. They are architecture and coordination problems.
Over the past 26 years, I have scaled global release engineering for large development teams and managed mission-critical production pipelines across telecom, healthcare, and embedded systems. I know firsthand how frustrating it is when tooling slows down engineering velocity. Having worked across every layer of delivery from bare-metal embedded Linux to modern cloud platforms, I have lived through the exact deployment friction your team is facing today.
That experience taught me a clear lesson: when releases slow down as a company scales, the tools are rarely the real constraint. The real bottlenecks are how work moves across team boundaries, how compliance is woven into the pipeline, and how the architecture supports growth. I founded Stonetusker so engineering leaders do not have to solve these problems by trial and error. I lead every engagement directly, applying that same standard to help teams ship quickly, stay fully compliant, and protect the systems that run their business.
Subeesh brings rare depth across systems architecture and release engineering. He untangled complex delivery constraints that were holding our teams back and gave us full ownership of a modern pipeline.
One of the few engineering leaders who can go from low-level Linux and embedded architectures to modern cloud automation seamlessly. Direct, pragmatic, and delivered exactly what was promised.
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.
Embedded build time cut from 4 hours to 35 minutes
Automated Yocto build pipelines on cloud infrastructure with full Infrastructure as Code. What used to block the engineering team for half a day now completes before the morning standup. Builds run roughly 7 times faster, an 85% reduction in total build time, with zero-downtime OTA deployments active from day one.
Deployment time reduced by 70% across AWS and Azure
Built a unified CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions covering dual-cloud deployments, replacing a manual and error-prone process. Deployment frequency tripled within 60 days, with zero rollback incidents since go-live.
Release pipeline rebuilt for a regulated AI product: compliance review from 1 day to 15 minutes
An early-stage AI healthcare product faced a tough challenge: move quickly to ship new model versions without compromising on the audit trail regulators require. We introduced DevSecOps automation with policy-as-code, automated evidence collection, and compliance gates built directly into every release. Review time was cut by 97%, keeping full audit rigor intact with a pipeline the internal team now runs independently.
Client names are protected under mutual NDA. Verifiable peer references are available during discovery for qualified technical leaders.
Your pipeline is your competitive core.
We treat it that way.
Platform engineering and CI/CD infrastructure sit at the heart of how your company ships, competes, and operates. We know this because it is exactly what we are engaged to build. During an engagement, we work directly with systems most external parties never see: your architecture, deployment patterns, codebase structure, security posture, and internal team workflows. Here is exactly how we protect that access.
What we see stays strictly inside the engagement
Your company name never appears in case studies, proposals, or public marketing without your explicit written authorization. Your proprietary technology stack is never referenced in conversations with others. Your architecture choices, infrastructure code, and internal team dynamics never leave the engagement. Every engagement operates under this strict confidentiality standard.
The NDA comes first, before any architecture discussions
Not after discovery, and not after you have already described your stack. We execute an NDA before we discuss any technical details. On request, agreements can be governed by your preferred jurisdiction, including Delaware law, English law, or European Union law.
At day 90, your team owns everything
Full ownership transfers to your team. All standing administrative credentials and access keys are permanently revoked. Your engineers receive complete documentation, infrastructure code, and operational runbooks. There is zero vendor lock-in and zero ongoing dependency by design. If you ever request ad-hoc advisory later, access is strictly time-boxed and approved by your security team.
We apply proven engineering principles without exposing another environment
This is not a policy written for a website. It is how an engagement model built on direct senior engineering leadership, dedicated environment isolation, and complete code handover has to work. There is no mechanism by which knowledge from your systems reaches another company. We do not operate as a volume agency rotating shared junior contractors across competing accounts.
Enforced mechanisms beat generic policies. A large consultancy will point to generic policy checklists. We point to clear engineering mechanisms: dedicated environment isolation, direct senior leadership, clean handover at day 90, and a mutual NDA before reviewing your first architecture diagram. Engineering leaders trust enforced technical boundaries over corporate marketing policies.
The Difference You Will Not Find
in a Standard SOW
The standard statement of work usually leaves engineering teams dependent on outside agencies. We structured our engagement model differently to guarantee your team keeps full ownership.
NDA signed before you share a single architecture diagram
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA, signed before any technical discussion takes place. Your codebase, infrastructure, intellectual property, and internal processes stay completely confidential. We put it in writing because trust without a contract is just a claim.
Assessed before proposed, never templated
We study your stack, team structure, and release blockers before writing a single line of your plan. What we deliver is built around your specific environment, not adapted from a generic playbook that worked for a different company in a different sector.
Architecture that scales with you, not just today's stack
Over 26 years of delivery engineering across cloud, embedded, and regulated industries means we know what breaks at scale, and we design around it from the start. Your infrastructure stays reliable and relevant as your team, product, and cloud workload expand.
Questions we hear before every first call
Yes, and it is one of our most common engagement types. We work across Embedded Linux, Yocto, bare-metal systems, and modern cloud platforms. We have specific 90-day plans for Automotive, Embedded and Defense, IoT, and Telco because these stacks need a different approach than standard web applications. The discovery pilot is structured to assess your exact environment before we propose any architecture changes.
The 2-week pilot starts within 2 to 3 weeks and produces something tangible, such as a working pipeline stage, an automated deployment workflow, or a validated architecture decision, before you commit to the full 90-day plan. By day 60 of the engagement, you typically see 2 to 3x faster release cycles. If the pilot does not prove clear value, you do not pay for the next phase. That condition is written directly into our agreement.
No. Complete handover is engineered into the plan from day one, including clear runbooks, documentation, and a two-week live operations period where your engineers run everything with us alongside. At day 90 your team fully owns the pipeline, with zero ongoing vendor dependency. Optional on-demand platform advisory is available on your terms without mandatory retainers, so you have architectural backup whenever you need it.
We work from Bengaluru with dedicated synchronous overlap windows. We maintain full-day collaboration with teams across the UK and Europe, plus 3 to 4 hours of daily synchronous overlap with US East Coast business hours for standups and architecture reviews. All contracts and mutual NDAs can be governed under your choice of Delaware, English, or European Union law.
