We build and rescue software that has to work.
Senior engineers who design and build complete software products, from new apps and portals to regulated and connected devices. Based in Ireland, in the EU, since 2012.
Where we have built.
SENIOR TEAM · IRELAND · EU
We follow the problem, not the industry. If yours is not here we would still like to hear from you.
Five problems we're built for.
Production-readiness and technical due diligence
"My product is going in front of an investor, an acquirer or an enterprise customer. Find the risks before they do."
Technical due diligence, run as a fixed-scope Readiness Audit. We read the codebase the way the reviewer on the other side will.
· fixed scope
· decision memo: harden, rebuild or proceed
· remediation roadmap
Custom software: products, portals and internal systems
"I have a serious product to build. A customer portal, an operational system, a connected product. I want it built properly, the first time."
Direct clients include RTÉ, Musgrave / Centra, Eir and Fáilte Ireland. Sage acquired the accounting software we built.
Software rescue and codebase takeover
"My developer disappeared. The codebase is a mess. My app was built with AI tools and now it has to be real."
We harden legacy, inherited and AI-built code for real users. We sell the engineering, not the AI.
Regulated and connected medical-device software
"I'm a funded founder, not big pharma. I need medical-device software built properly, under my quality system."
Software as a Medical Device, ready for the scrutiny that FDA and EU MDR bring.
Senior delivery partner
"My team is at capacity. I need senior people now, who need no managing and leave the code better than they found it."
In Ireland, in the EU. The same senior people from scope to delivery, no offshore hand-off, and we overlap your US morning.
Built to the standard.
We build the software to the standard that applies, under your quality system. Regulated or audited, the discipline is the same. We produce the design records, the traceability, the test evidence and the software risk analysis. Your quality system holds them and the release authority, in your own process, ready for your reviewer.
Medical devices are the sharpest and most nameable proof: we build to IEC 62304 and IEC 62366-1, under your ISO 13485 quality system, our software risk analysis feeding your ISO 14971 file. ResMed is the proof, with Fire1 the connected-device depth behind it. Here is how it maps to delivery.
Security and auditBuilt to your security requirements. Access control, secrets handling, logging and data separation, with the evidence your reviewer asks for.
The same model holds beyond medical devices. In finance, Sage acquired the accounting software we built and kept us on. Our heavier regulated-financial work sits under partner agreements we cannot show. We build to the standard that applies, under your quality system.
Work we can put our name to.
Most of this work is still running. Our longest client relationship is twelve years.

What we find when we open other people's code.
Since 2012 we have opened and assessed more than forty codebases other people built. The same faults keep turning up. Here are four of the ones we see most.
Frequency is our own estimate. An honest read across the work, in bands, not counted figures.
On one system we took over, a messaging token and a cloud key were sitting in the source and committed into the version history, where they live forever. Files that should have been private were in storage left open to the public internet. We rotated every key, locked the storage down, and wrote the data-handling paperwork that had never existed.
Every example here is altered or combined so no client, system or project can be recognised. We do not say whose code any of them came from. What we find in yours stays between us.
Straight answers.
When we're not the right fit.
Naming who we're not for is how you know the rest is true.
Senior engineers, not a sales layer.
You will work with the people who do the work. Brian and Barry lead it. Short, checkable bios, so you can verify us before you ever get on a call.
Behind them is a senior core of engineers, product and delivery people. Barry leads the engineering on every build. No hand-offs.
Purpledecks and Deep Purple AI are two brands of the same company, Purpledecks Ltd. Purpledecks is the software engineering brand: product build, rescue, and regulated, connected-device work. Deep Purple AI markets AI implementation for established businesses. The same senior team is behind both.
Bring us the part that has to work.
Most of our work starts with a conversation, or a scoped Readiness Audit. Both are a straight, senior read on where you are.
