Chris Teng has been building enterprise software since 2012. Today he builds and runs in-house technology teams for enterprises in banking, telecommunications, oil and gas, and aviation.
Powered by DBOS™ — Design · Build · Operate · Scale. Senior project managers, solution architects, DevOps, QA, infrastructure and cybersecurity leads form the leadership layer. The engineering team is built inside the client’s company as its own in-house, full-time team, operated to a documented standard and scaled as the business grows.
A fixed-fee stage before anyone is hired. The business requirement, the functional specification and the technical specification are written first, so you know what acceptance will look like before the project starts.
Enterprise data is organised into a context layer of entities, relationships and attributes. Language models and agents are connected on top, and a person, not another AI, signs off the result.
Before anyone is hired, a solution architect writes the business requirement, the functional and technical specifications, and sets out the roles the team needs. You approve the design.
Engineers are hired into your company from talent pools in Malaysia, China and the Philippines, against the roles in the design. You approve every person before they join.
The leadership layer runs the team day to day. Targets are agreed in the first week, the work is reviewed against them, and the standard is written down.
Seats are added and filled to the same standard as the business grows, and specialist roles are added or reduced without starting again.
Your in-housetechnology capability.The standards are documented and belong to you. Nothing to transfer: the team was yours from day one.

A person signs off.
Read about Data + AIEvery change is recorded and audited. Security and availability are not negotiable, and every figure has to reconcile.
Very large subscriber numbers, charging and provisioning that never pause, and systems that have to work with equipment from many vendors.
Operations spread across remote sites, equipment that runs for decades, and safety rules that govern every change.
Round-the-clock operations under safety oversight, with booking, operations and maintenance systems that depend on one another.
Delivery that does not depend on luck.
In 2020 the company stopped selling man-hours and headcount, and started selling a standard. How engineering teams are designed, built, operated and scaled was written down and made repeatable.
How the standard is appliedLet’s build the capability inside your company.
Start with a 30-minute discovery call to understand your goals, the gaps in the team and the technical environment. Free, with no commitment.
As a father of two, he understands the importance of work-life balance and keeps looking for the balance point between career and family life.
When he is not with clients or his teams, he can usually be found on the driving range or the golf course. Look for him if you are interested in brushing up your golf. He believes good health leads to wealth.
