01 — What we deliver
Finished products, not headcount.
Six kinds of work, one standard: architected properly, tested automatically, released without drama.
Web apps & PWAs
Product-grade web applications and installable progressive web apps.
Websites
Marketing and product sites, built and deployed.
Middleware & integrations
Connecting systems, APIs and third-party services.
Full-stack solutions
Front end, back end, data and hosting, delivered as one product.
AI integration
Standard AI API integrations, MCP connections, AI agents and skills.
02 — How we work
From first question to live product.
One accountable team from discovery to support. Agile delivery, with quality built into the pipeline rather than checked at the end.
- Step 01
Discover
The real problem, the constraints and what success looks like, agreed before anyone writes code.
- Step 02
Architect
The right stack and system shape for the result, with security by design from the first diagram.
- Step 03
Build
Agile delivery in short cycles, with automated testing and pipelines on every change.
- Step 04
Launch & support
Seamless releases, feature flags where they matter, and support once you are live.
- Agile delivery
- Security by design
- Automated testing & pipelines
- Seamless releases

UK fintech — Neobank for Africa & the Middle East
Front-end leadership for a regulated neobank

Consumer brand — via a partner agency
Lead generation disguised as a game
An offline-first web game with a syncing leaderboard, delivered in about a week.

05 — About
Physicist turned engineering leader.
Corcovado is led by founder Lui Mota. He has delivered streaming, connected-home and banking products for Channel 4, BT and a fintech neobank, and now helps start-ups and agencies ship with senior engineering judgement.
The name comes from Corcovado, the mountain above Rio de Janeiro, where Lui is from. Its ridge is the line you will find throughout this site.
