Forged with quality,
on call.

Most agencies hire non-engineers to sell engineering roles. ForgePoint doesn't. We staff the work, can build the product, or lead the technology. Work with people who can read the codebase before they pitch.

01 / The three offerings

Three ways to put skilled engineering on your bench.

Each pillar is run by people who've shipped at the production line. No staffing pool, no sales-engineer middlemen, no slides where there should be code.

01 / Technical Consulting

Lead the technology, not the meeting.

Fractional CTO, architecture review, and strategic engineering oversight for teams between $1M and $20M ARR. We sit on your side of the table, not the vendor's.

  • Fractional CTO & technical advisory
  • Architecture & codebase audits
  • Hiring loop design & engineer interview kits
  • AI & cloud cost rationalization
Engagement: 4–20h / wkStart a brief
02 / Product Engineering

Build the thing, ship the release.

End-to-end product squads for greenfield builds, modernizations, and rescues. Design, frontend, backend, infra. One team, one accountable lead, one production release.

  • Greenfield product builds (0 → 1)
  • Legacy modernization & rescues
  • AI feature integration & agents
  • Mobile & cross-platform (React Native)
Squad: 2–6 peopleScope a build
03 / Technical Recruiting

Recruiters who can read the diff.

Engineers placing engineers. Every candidate is vetted in code — not against a checklist. We close ICs and tech leads other firms can't even reach.

  • Senior IC, staff & principal engineers
  • Engineering managers & directors
  • Contract-to-hire & embedded squads
  • Offshore + onshore hybrid pods

02 / How we work

A short, disciplined arc.
Evidence at every step.

Most engagements collapse the same way: too much promise, not enough proof. Each stage here ends in a tangible artifact you can see, ship, or take with you.

Engagement ledger · v4.2

Every project is logged like a forge order: serialized, dated, and inspected. You see exactly what was decided, when, and what shipped.

Read the playbook
01 / DEFINE

Frame the problem.

One- to two-week intensive: working sessions with your team, architecture sketches, risk register, scoped backlog. The output is a written brief that survives leadership turnover.

→ Brief, scope, and a go/no-go recommendation
02 / PROVE

Ship working software, early.

A production-shaped slice in front of real users before the full investment. Not a Figma, not a demo. Real auth, real data, real edge cases.

→ A live release exec sponsors can defend
03 / BUILD

Disciplined increments, in public.

Two-week cadence with named owners, written changelogs, and KPI checkpoints. AI-assisted throughput where it helps, hand-coded where it matters.

→ Predictable momentum, sprint after sprint
04 / LAUNCH

Go-live without surprises.

Pre-flight checks, runbooks, on-call rotation, and a launch lead who has done this enough times to know what breaks at 3am.

→ 1.0 that's stable, secure, and shippable
05 / SCALE

Compound the wins.

Features tied to adoption and revenue. Integrations that open the ecosystem. Continuous perf and cost work so the bill doesn't outrun the growth.

→ Software that earns more than it costs
03 / Proof of work

A decade of receipts.
From people with real industry experience.

Sourced from public LinkedIn recommendations of the founder. Every name and title is verifiable. No stock testimonials, no anonymous quotes.

Technically solid as a frontend engineer, and an excellent communicator and team player. During a major product redesign, he stepped up and took on the complex features despite being fairly new to the team.

Glen ChenPrincipal PM, First American · Worked together at HouseCanary

A skilled FE engineer up for any task and complexity who didn't take anything for granted, always wanting to understand all aspects of the stack down to devops. I would work with him again without hesitation.

Infectious enthusiasm and deep-seated curiosity. His code contributions and captivating presentation style played a pivotal role in our hackathon win.

Mike LeeSr. Software Engineer, Demandbase

His patience, ability to articulate complex ideas, and intimate understanding of the codebase left me more than prepared. Recommending him is a no-brainer.

Jimmy HogertyBuilding Clay-alt for GTM teams

Edgar MartinezStaff Engineer · TS & Python

A skilled problem solver and a voice for positive change. Seasoned FE dev who is also unafraid to jump into the backend and dissect how APIs function.

Scott MurphySr. Engineer · Tech Lead

A rock solid rock star. Good, skilled, dedicated UI coders are hard to come by, and good colleagues are harder. If you're lucky enough to work with him, do it.

Sean WerkemaCoder · 30 languages, give or take

Part of the largest front-end efforts Clear Capital has undertaken. Great contributions with his business knowledge, code, and eagerness to take on anything.

04.1 / Who we are

Engineers building for engineers. No staffing pool, no sales-first culture. Every engagement is led by someone who has shipped production code and can read yours before they pitch.
