Product engineering Software development studio · United Kingdom

The engineering partner
founders trust
to ship.

You have a product that has to work in the real world — App Store scrutiny, payments that reconcile, users who don’t forgive downtime. We’re a small UK studio that takes that seriously: clear scope, direct access to the people building it, and releases you can stand behind.

What we
build for you

Native iOS leads most of what we ship; the same practice covers the services and platforms that sit behind the app, plus Android, shared mobile codebases, or web when the product needs them.

Native mobile apps

iOS-first delivery with SwiftUI and UIKit — architecture, performance, accessibility, App Store readiness, and the security primitives compliance teams ask for. Matching Android builds with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose when you need parity in both stores.

01 / Service
Cross-platform mobile

Single-codebase releases to iOS and Android using Flutter or React Native when timelines or shared UX outweigh extracting every ounce of native performance.

02 / Service
Web & SaaS

Consoles, admin tools, onboarding flows, billing — normally Next.js and TypeScript, backed by Postgres and the same APIs your mobile clients consume.

03 / Service
Senior-led acceleration

Disciplined automation where it speeds implementation and test coverage — architecture, security, and production cutovers stay explicitly senior-owned.

Track record

Where we
deliver

Most client work stays under NDA. These are the sectors and engagement shapes we repeat — with one anonymised case study at sector level.

Sectors

  • UK residential & tenancy platforms
  • Retail & high-volume operations
  • Fintech & payments-adjacent mobile

Engagements

  • Greenfield iOS MVPs (6–8 week focused releases)
  • Existing app rescue & hardening
  • Backends, APIs & admin for mobile products

Representative outcome

Unified a fragmented UK tenancy onboarding and payments flow into one native iOS surface — audited money paths, sane offline states, fewer support tickets on “lost” payments.

How it works

From brief
to shipped

Four repeatable stages — written into how we estimate, report, and hand over. Transparency by default.

Brief & scope

We define the problem, constraints, and success criteria together before a line of code is written.

Build acceleration

Where the stack warrants it, we wire in disciplined automation and targeted AI-assisted loops for implementation and tests. Throughput improves; standards don’t drift.

Engineer review

Senior engineers review every path that matters: security boundaries, regressions, and architecture that still makes sense six months later. Automation speeds the work; humans own the bar.

Ship & iterate

Continuous delivery. The same delivery pipeline stays available for maintenance, hardening, and feature sprints after launch.

Why Wireside

The honest
difference

Fixed-scope or retainer engagements on regulated mobile stacks — disciplined execution, no theatre.

Not API wrappers

Real agent workflows — orchestrated, stateful, production-hardened with LangGraph. Not ChatGPT bolted onto a form.

Clear contracts

MSA-based engagements. Fixed scope or retainer. No scope creep, no hidden costs, no ambiguity about what you're paying for.

Security by default

Secure storage, device attestation, certificate pinning, and open-banking flows (e.g. TrueLayer) where payments need them — baked in from the start, not patched in after an incident.

Regulated delivery

Depth from Tesco-scale retail and UK tenancy programmes — the same release discipline, security reviews, and incident readiness we bring to every engagement.

About

About
Wireside Studios

We keep the practice deliberately compact so decision-makers stay adjacent to engineers. Engagement leads own outcomes end to end; there isn't an opaque delivery layer in the middle.

Founder · Wireside Studios Ltd

Muhammad Farhan Baig Mirza has spent over a decade shipping SwiftUI and UIKit apps in regulated environments — Tesco-scale retail programmes and consulting delivery through Zühlke — where releases had to withstand App Store review, security questionnaires, and live incidents, not stakeholder demos alone.

Wireside gives founders a compact UK studio with clear contracts and direct access to the engineer doing the work — without enterprise drag or shallow freelance gaps. When you need procurement-ready paperwork, we provide it; the default is speed and accountability.

you're building.
We'll take it from there.

Share a succinct brief (problem, timelines, stakeholders). We reply within one business day with grounded next steps — no generic pitch deck attachment.

Fees. Focused MVP engagements typically start around £25,000 — exact numbers change with scope (not VAT advice). Budgets below that are usually scoping or advisory only. Prefer to sense-check numbers first? Discovery calls are free.
