Services

What we do

01

AI-accelerated software delivery

We use AI agents to make software delivery simpler, faster and more predictable, and we can set up the same approach for your teams. Applied at Turner & Townsend and On.

  • A standardised, agentic workflow that takes each ticket from analysis and planning through implementation, testing and code review
  • Works inside your existing process and tools: tickets and team updates stay in step, and review feedback is picked up and resolved in the same loop
  • Every change follows the same steps and quality gates, so delivery becomes predictable
  • New features ship faster and with fewer defects, and bugs are fixed sooner

02

AI solutions & agentic systems

We design and build AI that works with your own data and runs reliably in production, not just in demos.

  • Assistants and agents that answer questions from company knowledge, analyse documents and recordings, and help troubleshoot issues
  • Human approval built in for sensitive actions
  • Provider-neutral design: changing AI provider is a configuration change, not a rewrite
  • Secured with your company sign-on and monitored for quality and cost

03

Cloud-native engineering & modernisation

  • Scalable, event-driven and serverless systems on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud
  • Modernisation of legacy and self-hosted systems onto managed cloud services
  • Secure, multi-tenant platforms with strong identity and access control

04

Data platforms & integration

  • Real-time data pipelines that connect business systems as events happen
  • Replacing slow batch processing with event-driven data platforms
  • Reliable data flows for regulatory reporting

05

Platform engineering & developer productivity

  • Automated build, test and release pipelines, with infrastructure defined as code
  • Reusable service templates, so every new service starts production-ready
  • On-demand test environments for every change
  • Teams ship more often, with fewer failed releases

06

Architecture & technical leadership

  • Architecture reviews and modernisation roadmaps
  • API-first design that lets several teams build in parallel
  • Hands-on technical leadership of greenfield products
  • Onboarding and knowledge transfer for distributed teams (UK, Serbia, Canada and India)

We work across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and with the leading AI model providers.

Selected work

Recent engagements

Professional services: programme, project and cost management · 2026–present

Turner & Townsend

AI-accelerated delivery on The Hive

Outcome Simpler, standardised and faster delivery. Development became more predictable, new features ship with fewer defects, and bugs are resolved sooner.

How we did it
Need
Ongoing delivery of new features and fixes on The Hive, Turner & Townsend's project intelligence platform.
What we did
Built an AI-driven delivery workflow fitted to Turner & Townsend's own process. Each ticket moves through analysis, planning, implementation, testing and code review, with the team kept up to date and review feedback handled in the same loop.

EV charging & energy technology · 2025–2026

Ohme

Enterprise AI assistant platform

Outcome A secure, observable AI platform that the business can extend with new agents and features without changing its core.

How we did it
Need
Trustworthy AI assistance for Ohme's internal teams and customer-facing flows, grounded in company knowledge.
What we did
Designed and built the AI platform end to end: assistants that answer questions from company knowledge and help troubleshoot issues, with human approval for sensitive steps, company single sign-on, and monitoring of quality and cost. Moved the platform onto managed cloud services.

AI products for business · 2025

NexGen Architects

Multi-tenant AI platform

Outcome A distributed UK and India team built six services and seven AI agents in parallel on this foundation. A new service went from template to deployed in a single day, and switching AI provider became a configuration change.

How we did it
Need
A foundation for an AI product that ingests documents and meeting recordings, analyses them and answers questions over the results, for many client organisations.
What we did
Built the multi-tenant foundation: secure isolation for each organisation, event-driven processing pipelines, a shared service framework, and API contracts that let teams work in parallel.

Energy · 2024–2025

OVO Energy (E.ON)

Real-time data platform

Outcome Developers could create production-ready services within minutes, and bug detection time fell from hours to minutes.

How we did it
Need
Replace legacy batch data processing with a modern, real-time data platform.
What we did
Designed an event-driven data platform on Google Cloud, with standard service templates and an automated test environment for every change.

Energy trading · 2023–2024

BP

Regulatory trade-reporting pipelines

Outcome Daily changes were delivered quickly and consistently through fully automated pipelines.

How we did it
Need
Reliable pipelines feeding oil and energy trade data into regulatory reporting under EMIR, MAS and ASIC.
What we did
Standardised every data-processing component on one codebase that can be tested and debugged locally, with automated deployment for each component and infrastructure defined as code.

Why EXTUNI

Senior, accountable, accelerated by AI

  • AI-accelerated, quality built in

    AI agents work inside a standardised workflow with automated tests and code review, so features ship faster and more predictably, with fewer defects.

  • Senior from day one

    No ramp-up and no hand-off to junior staff: the person who designs the solution builds it.

  • Platforms, not just projects

    We build reusable foundations (service templates, shared frameworks, automated pipelines) so teams keep delivering faster after we leave.

  • Vendor-neutral

    Hands-on across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and across AI providers. We recommend what fits.

  • Transparent and lean

    Clear scope, regular demos and direct access to the engineer doing the work.
