About
Engineering that shows up where the work is.
FDEmax is the forward deployed engineering service of AI Soup Technologies. We started by modernizing legacy systems that other firms would not touch, and learned that the only delivery model that consistently works is the one that lives inside the customer environment.
Who We Are
Builders first, advisors second.
Our team combines senior engineers who have carried pagers for production systems with an agent platform built git-native from the start. The engineers bring judgment: what to change, what to leave alone, and how to ship inside real constraints. The agents bring throughput: the thousand small, careful changes that modernization actually requires.
We operate as one accountable unit inside your stack. Same repos, same CI, same standards, held to a higher bar.
Operating Principles
How we run every engagement.
01
Governance-First Delivery
Approval checkpoints, audit logs, and least-privilege access are set up before the first pull request, not after the first incident. We treat your compliance requirements as the spec.
02
Outcomes Over Hours
We commit to merged pull requests and measurable metrics, not billable time. If a week produces nothing you can point at in production, that week failed.
03
Human Accountability
Agents multiply output, but a named senior engineer is accountable for every engagement. There is always a person who owns the result and answers your questions.
04
Repeatable Playbooks
Modernization, remediation, and cost governance follow tested playbooks refined across engagements. You get the pattern that worked, adapted to your environment.
