The interesting thing about how we work is not the size of the team. It is that the same people design, build, deploy and support each product - with AI tooling doing the work that used to need more people.
We use AI tooling throughout - design review, code review, and the tedious work in between. It lets a small team cover ground that used to need a large one. What it does not do is decide: every change is reviewed by a person before it reaches a customer, and the accountability stays with us.
Changes ship on release trains at fixed times, not whenever someone remembers. After every deploy the system checks itself against the version it just published, and a release that does not answer correctly stops rather than reaching customers.
Each product has its own database, its own hosting and its own release pipeline. A problem in one cannot become a problem in another, and a customer's data lives where it belongs rather than in a shared pool.
South African payment providers and South African hosting, with the handling of people's information designed in rather than bolted on. This site itself loads nothing from a third party - no trackers, no external fonts, no analytics.
Happy to walk through how any of it works, in as much detail as you want.
