AI-augmented engineering

Three ways to engage

AI-Augmented Engineering

LLM agents built into the workflows your engineers already live in, not bolted on as another product. Shipped in regulated production, not just demos.

  • AI-assisted code review, testing, and documentation
  • turn your product docs into a knowledge base for AI agents
  • agent security and guardrails that protect your data
  • cost tracking and optimization to keep AI affordable
  • monitoring and evals for consistent agent behavior

Platform Modernization

Legacy monoliths to cloud-native platforms, without betting the business on a big-bang rewrite.

  • legacy systems to containers and cloud
  • scalable, secure platform architecture
  • CI/CD and DevSecOps automation
  • infrastructure as code

Fractional Principal Engineer

Principal-level architecture and technical leadership, without the full-time hire.

  • architecture reviews & platform strategy
  • player-coach team leadership
  • mentoring, SOPs, delivery cadence

about

Founded by Chad James

Corvonyx is the consulting practice of Chad James, who brings fifteen-plus years of platform engineering and technical leadership, most of it in places where downtime makes the news: banking platforms audited by regulators, airline reservation systems handling tens of thousands of calls a day.

He has spent his career leading engineers and architecting multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms, containerizing legacy .NET systems, and shipping AI agent pipelines into regulated production, all while leading the teams that live with those decisions.

Corvonyx works best with organizations past the startup stage that need principal-level architecture and execution before they’re ready to hire it full-time.
