We're the sidekicks that brilliant teams call when they want to build something audacious. AI strategy, RPA, DeepTech R&D, rapid prototyping — CERN-caliber thinking at startup speed.
We don't do one-size-fits-all. Every engagement starts with understanding what you actually need — then we show up in the right mode.
When you need to make the right call before writing a line of code. We map your technology landscape, identify leverage points, and give you an honest, opinionated roadmap.
When you need it built — not specced and handed off. We prototype fast, validate hard, and deliver working systems that your team can own and extend.
When the answer doesn't exist yet. We run structured experiments, evaluate emerging tech, and turn research questions into working proof-of-concepts.
A preview of what we've shipped. Real work, real constraints, real results. More on request.
Not buzzwords. Skills we've used in production, at scale, under pressure.
We ask the annoying questions. What's the actual problem? What's been tried? What does success look like in 6 months? No templates — genuine inquiry.
We map your current landscape — technology, people, processes, constraints. Then we show you the shortest path to something real.
We prototype before we perfect. A working demo in weeks, not months. Real feedback from real use beats any number of specification documents.
We build things your team can own. Clean code, good docs, knowledge transfer sessions. We're sidekicks — not gatekeepers.
Not a form. A conversation starter. Takes 90 seconds.
We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
In the meantime — here's something to read:
Our actual technical depth →
MB Fire Sam is a boutique advisory and engineering practice.
We're a small team of specialists who've spent careers inside some of the most
demanding technical environments in the world — CERN, EU institutions,
government digital programmes, and enterprise R&D labs.
We know how to identify and specify business and functional demand in ways that engineers can actually work from. We know how to design appropriate technology landscapes. And we know how to build things fast without cutting corners that matter.
We're not a large consultancy. We don't have junior analysts padding your engagement. When you work with us, you get the people who've actually done it — not a methodology and a slide deck.
Experimenting is our day-to-day job. The best projects we've worked on didn't have a known solution at the start. That's the point.
Former CERN contributor. 12+ years designing technology landscapes for complex organisations. Equally comfortable in a boardroom and a terminal.
Built production AI systems for EU institutions and enterprise clients. Specialist in LLM integration, RPA and process engineering.
Research background in scientific computing. Turns "is this even possible?" into a working demo in under three weeks.
We don't take every project. We take the ones that are interesting. If you're working on something hard, let's talk.
