Full Engineering Ownership of an EV Investment Platform
The Challenge
Before engaging Kontorva, YieldGuru had worked through a sequence of independent contractors and local development firms. The result was a platform with fragmented architecture, unresolved security vulnerabilities, and a codebase with no coherent ownership model. A six-month product roadmap was at risk. The problem was not capability - it was accountability. No single party owned the system's behaviour end to end.
Our Solution
Kontorva assumed the full technology function. This was not an advisory engagement or a code review - we became the responsible engineering party across architecture, security, delivery governance, and sprint execution. We began with a complete system architecture overhaul: redesigning the platform's infrastructure for security and scalability before accelerating feature development. The codebase was restructured for modular, agile development - establishing clear ownership boundaries that would survive beyond the engagement. Security protocols were implemented at the data layer, protecting both investor information and operational fleet data. Delivery was governed through structured sprints aligned to the pre-agreed six-month roadmap, with consistent communication and transparent progress reporting. The client's leadership was freed to focus on operations and fundraising - which is what full engineering ownership is supposed to enable.
Results
āAfter numerous trials with independent contractors and local dev shops, I finally found the perfect fit with Kontorva. They refactored the whole website, developed a comprehensive new system architecture, improved system security, and organised the codebase repositories to enable agile building. Communication and team updates have been 100%, very well-organised sprints, and timely delivery of all requests following the agreed roadmap. I have confidently outsourced the technology function of YieldGuru to Kontorva and can now focus on operations and fundraising.ā
