AI Delivery Sprint
A focused 2-week sprint to ship one high-priority feature or release, with senior engineers reviewing every step.
- AI-assisted developer team
- Weekly progress updates you can act on
- Release checklist and handover included
Lightheart Tech
Ship faster without cutting corners on quality.
Lightheart delivers product, platform, and AI projects with senior engineers who own architecture, quality, and release. You get speed and a clean handover, not a mess to untangle later.
Services
Three ways to work with us.
Pick the model that fits your situation: a focused sprint, a structured product build phase, or embedded support inside a larger program.
Product Build Phase
Take validated scope to a production-ready release with clear milestones, real check-ins, and a handover your team can use immediately.
- Production-ready product increment
- Database and API integrations
- Launch prep, stabilization, and handover
Strategic Workstream Delivery
A senior team that embeds into your program to own a defined platform, DAM, integration, data, or AI-enabled workstream within your governance and architecture.
- Clearly scoped workstream ownership
- Architecture, security, and release alignment
- Documentation and transition context for internal teams
What you get
What happens at each stage
Here is what a typical engagement looks like, from scoping through delivery to handover.
Before build
We agree on exactly what gets shipped
Together we define the target outcome, set clear acceptance criteria, and identify anything that could slow us down.
You know what is in scope, what is not, and what the risks are.
During delivery
You see real progress every week
Weekly updates show what shipped, what is at risk, and what decisions are needed from your side.
No surprises. No vague status reports.
At handover
Your team can take over immediately
We deliver documentation, release notes, and context so your team can maintain and extend the work confidently.
No reverse-engineering. No knowledge gaps.
Quality built in
Fast does not mean sloppy
AI makes us faster. But speed without quality creates rework. Every change goes through senior code review, automated testing, and security checks before it reaches production.
See how we work- ✓Every pull request reviewed by a senior engineer
- ✓AI-generated code passes the same quality bar as handwritten code
- ✓Security and reliability tests run automatically on every change
- ✓Documentation written for your team, not ours
Best fit
Who we work best with
Teams with a clear goal, a real deadline, and a need for experienced engineers who can move fast without breaking things.
Product releases
When roadmap pressure is high and the next milestone cannot slip.
Platform foundations
When architecture, integrations, and delivery discipline matter as much as feature velocity.
Strategic workstreams
When a broader software program needs senior-led contribution to a clearly defined scope.
Leader Endorsement
"Lightheart helped us move a critical workstream without losing delivery discipline."
The team combined speed with senior technical judgment, so we moved faster while keeping risk, scope, and handover clear.
The team
Three senior roles. One accountable team.
You work with a small team that covers product, engineering, and infrastructure, so decisions stay connected from planning through release.
- ✓One team that covers product, engineering, and infrastructure, with no handoff gaps.
- ✓Every release decision is reviewed from multiple angles before it ships.
- ✓Small enough to move fast. Senior enough to get it right.
Team Competencies
Selected delivery examples mapped to the team
Representative success cases tied to the capabilities Lightheart brings into engagements across product leadership, technical delivery, and cloud architecture.

Scope, prioritization, and launch decision-making
Used when a product needs clear boundaries, stakeholder alignment, and execution planning before build speed matters.
- Built and maintained Klarna's Shopify integration.
- Delivered the Staples 3D Print Store and the supporting work needed to launch the service.
- Built a conversational commerce solution for bol.com around customer interaction and conversion flows.
- Built a real-time customer feedback application for New York Pizza to improve operations across all their venues.
AI Tech Lead
Hands-on delivery leadership across implementation and release
Used when shipping pace needs senior engineering direction, review discipline, and practical tradeoff management.
- Built AI-powered live sports match recording for Eyecons.
- Directed AI-assisted implementation for international mobile medical unit software.
- Delivered footfall traffic analysis and physical-store conversion insights using computer vision for Wam Denim.
Cloud Architect
Platform, data, and reliability architecture
Used when delivery depends on infrastructure choices, integrations, data pipelines, or operational resilience.
- Created an ETL pipeline for high-volume enterprise data processing and validation at Inter IKEA.
- Created the architecture for the Eyecons Kubernetes platform and microservices.
These examples reflect team-level capabilities brought into current Lightheart engagements.

FAQ
Questions we hear most
Quick answers to the things teams usually ask before starting a conversation.
Do you replace our internal team?
No. We work alongside your team on a defined scope, like a product sprint, product build phase, or specific feature release.
Can you work within our existing processes?
Yes. We plug into your architecture, release process, and governance. We do not ask you to change how you work.
What if our procurement team needs documentation?
We can provide a capability overview, security summary, and legal baseline to support vendor review.
What do we get when the project is done?
Working software, documentation, and a structured handover: everything your team needs to own and extend the work.
