We design, build, and run the APIs and products that power your business — API-first and domain-driven, engineered as code, and built to be consumed, reused, and scaled.
Software has shifted from glue code to product. APIs now carry revenue and power AI, and the teams that design them as products — not afterthoughts — ship faster. The research shows the shift.
APIs are no longer internal plumbing. They are how capabilities get packaged, consumed, and monetized — increasingly by AI agents as well as people.
The average enterprise runs hundreds of applications, but only a fraction are integrated. Without API-first design, every new build adds another silo.
Domain-driven design, contract-first specs, and infrastructure as code turn one-off builds into durable products you can change with confidence.
Eight capability areas spanning API design and management, domain-driven modelling, and full-stack product development — delivered API-first and as code.
Contract-first APIs in OpenAPI 3 — the spec is the source of truth.
Gateway, routing, versioning, and plugins on a managed platform like Kong.
Discovery, documentation, and self-service onboarding for consumers.
Domain models, bounded contexts, ubiquitous language, and C4 diagrams.
Accessible, performant websites and native or cross-platform mobile apps.
Backend services and microservices engineered for maintainability.
A disciplined PLDC with automated pipelines, testing, and quality gates.
Containers, IaC, and public / private deployment across clouds.
API architects, product engineers, and specification engineers who work API-first and domain-driven, deliver everything as code, and build for consumption.
A disciplined engineering approach — design the contract first, model the business, and build products that are made to be consumed.
Design the API in OpenAPI 3 before code — the specification is the contract every consumer builds against.
Model the business in domain models and bounded contexts; the boundary defines the service and its API.
Authenticate at the gateway, scope access with least privilege, and rate-limit by default.
Specs, infrastructure, and pipelines live in version control and publish through CI/CD.
APIs and products are products — documented, discoverable, versioned, and backward-compatible.
Architecture is reviewed and standards agreed before build, not patched in afterwards.
Designing and shipping an API or product is a sequenced flow — modelled, specified, reviewed, built, and run — with signals from production feeding the next iteration.
Domain model, a C4 context diagram, and the OpenAPI 3 specification — required before review.
C4 container diagram, ubiquitous-language reference, and sequence diagrams where needed.
Semantic versioning, backward compatibility, and no more than two major versions in production.
Battle-tested engineering accelerators we bring to every engagement — so teams start from a running platform and proven patterns, not a blank repo.
Gateway, developer portal, API manager, and plugins — public and private clusters, ready to onboard APIs via CI/CD.
Contract-first templates, linting, and mock services that publish to the gateway through the pipeline.
Domain-model and bounded-context patterns, C4 templates, and ubiquitous-language scaffolding.
Accessible web front-ends and cross-platform mobile scaffolds, pre-wired to the API marketplace.
Production-ready service scaffolds with tests, observability, and CI/CD baked in.
Reusable infrastructure, environments, and GitOps pipelines for drift-free, repeatable delivery.
Four engineering disciplines — the API economy, product development, platform, and governance — that we stand up and run alongside your teams.
We baseline the metrics that show whether APIs and products are adopted, reliable, and improving — then set targets with you, against your estate, not a generic benchmark.
APIs consumed and reused across teams and partners.
From idea to a published API or feature in production.
Share of changes that cause an incident or rollback.
Gateway uptime, latency, and error rate.
We track these from a day-one baseline; targets are set per engagement against your estate rather than a one-size-fits-all benchmark — aligned to the API Office's adoption, consumer, and producer KPIs.
Many teams sit at level 1 or 2. Our engagements move you up the curve — and adoption, reliability, and delivery speed move with you.
Hands-on delivery experience across API platforms, modelling, web, mobile, and services — unified into one API-first, as-code way of working.
We've designed specs, shipped products, and run gateways in production — so we recommend and build from experience, not slideware.
Authentication, rate limiting, and least privilege are wired in at the gateway — security is part of the contract.
APIs are the connective layer for AI — and the front line for security. We design APIs AI agents can consume, accelerate delivery with AI tooling, and secure every endpoint at the gateway — across the holistic product lifecycle (PLDC).
APIs and the Model Context Protocol are how AI agents discover and invoke capabilities — machine-consumable by design.
AI-assisted spec authoring, code generation, and contract test generation speed delivery against the OpenAPI contract.
Authentication (JWT → OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect), rate limiting, and OWASP API Security enforced at the edge.
Governance reviews visibility, PII, and access before build — security and compliance decided up front, not after.
Representative reference architectures and engagement patterns from the NovasIQ engineering practice — across the API economy and product development.
These are representative reference architectures and engagement patterns from the NovasIQ engineering practice. Approaches reflect standard, proven engineering practice and are described qualitatively; quantitative figures elsewhere on this page are drawn from cited public research.
A four-step engagement that spans all four NovasIQ pillars: consulting, AI & digital, systems design, and managed services.
Domain discovery, API and product assessment, target architecture, and a prioritised roadmap.
Assess · ConsultingOpenAPI contracts, C4 diagrams, product design, and a governance review before build.
Design · AI & DigitalServices in Java and Python, web and mobile, gateway and marketplace, wired into CI/CD and IaC.
Build · Systems DesignObservability, SRE, metrics, and API lifecycle and versioning that keep products healthy.
Run · Managed ServicesWe operate as an extension of your team — not a vendor at arm's length. Every engagement is built around your outcomes.
We design the contract first and build to it — so APIs are consumable from day one.
Services map to real business boundaries, not database tables or org charts.
Web, mobile, and services under one team — no hand-offs between front and back.
Documented, discoverable, versioned, and governed — APIs and products others can rely on.
From a domain model and an OpenAPI contract to products shipping and APIs in the marketplace — in weeks, not quarters. Bring us your hardest build.
