We Scale Your Dreams

We specialize in scaling, optimizing, fixing, and growing your applications for growth and compliance, helping you build a solid foundation at early stages to support future success.

About Us

BE&L is a family-owned technology consulting company focused on building practical, secure, and intelligent software systems. We combine deep experience in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure to help companies ship reliable products and make better use of data.

We work with organizations that need technical leadership, experienced architecture support, or a trusted development partner that can deliver without hand holding. We take a hands on, engineering first approach. We listen, assess, and design solutions that fit your team and goals. Whether we act as a fractional CTO, a technical lead, or an extension of your staff, we focus on building reliable systems that make business sense.

Here are some of our currently-supported technologies:
  • AI: Fine-tuning, embeddings, prompt engineering, API integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.)
  • C / C++
  • Server-Side JavaScript (node.js, React, Typescript, NestJS)
  • Client-Side JavaScript (React, Next.js, Vue.js, Vanilla JS, Typescript)
  • POSIX: Shell Scripting (bash, zsh, sh), awk, sed, installation, administration
  • Ruby on Rails
  • Python (Django, Flask, PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras)
  • PHP (Laravel, Symfony)
  • Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis)
  • Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • TCP/IP Networking, DNS, HTTP, SSL/TLS, Firewalls, Proxies, Load Balancers, CDNs, Caching, Queues, Microservices, including implementation of several core protocols from scratch, using RFCs as reference. We still have a few ‘Class-C’ IP blocks assigned to us from the early 90s (sorry, not for sale).
  • DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
  • Compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) including SDLC, documentation, and implementation
  • Testing (Unit Testing, Integration Testing, E2E Testing, Test Automation)
  • Network Security (WAFs, DDoS Mitigation, Penetration Testing)
