Consultancy

Our lead has spent over a decade as a Principal Architect leading UI and API engineering for an enterprise SaaS platform, building the front end and API stack from the ground up, owning the CI/CD pipeline, and deploying across on premises and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, and GCP), all while founding and building Aura Studios in parallel. Earlier in his career, he worked in ad tech and at an advertising agency, giving him a rare combination: he understands not just how to promote a product, but how the technology underneath ad platforms actually works, so campaign budget goes toward what’s technically effective rather than what just sounds good in a pitch. That experience now powers our consultancy practice: technical advisory for studios and small teams who need an experienced architect’s eye, and marketing technologist’s instincts, without the overhead of a full time hire.

We help with:

  • Architecture reviews. Evaluating your front end, API, and database design for scalability, maintainability, and security before they become expensive problems.
  • Build pipeline & DevOps. Auditing or building out CI/CD workflows so deployments are repeatable, safe, and fast.
  • Infrastructure & security audits. Reviewing your server setup, cloud configuration, or hosting environment and delivering a prioritized hardening plan.
  • Ad tech & marketing strategy. Evaluating ad platforms, tracking, and campaign spend with a technical eye, so marketing dollars go toward what actually performs.
  • Fractional technical leadership. Ongoing advisory for founders who need a sanity check on technical decisions without a full time architect on staff.

Our framework experience spans Angular, React, and Vue on the front end, with Express and PostgreSQL on the back end. We’re not locked into one stack and can meet your project where it already stands.

Game Development

Building the next great game takes more than code — it takes a team that understands what makes a game feel right. Aura Studios brings production experience in Unreal Engine, with additional depth in Unity, across the full pipeline: design, art, and audio. Whether you need a small team to fill a specific gap or full development support from concept to launch, we scope our involvement to match your project’s size and stage. We’ve built and shipped our own title, Aurora Sol, so we approach contract work with the same standards we hold ourselves to.

Website Development

Modern web development means more than a good-looking front end. Aura Studios builds websites with performance, security, and maintainability as first-class requirements, not afterthoughts. Our team has hands-on experience hardening WordPress and custom builds against real-world threats, and we hold every project to enterprise-grade security practices regardless of size. If your current site is slow, vulnerable, or hard to update, we can rebuild it right.

App Development

We design and build mobile and desktop apps that are as reliable as they are easy to use. From early concept through launch, our developers work closely with clients to turn an idea into something people actually want to open. We scope every project around your budget and timeline from the start, so there are no surprises later.

Photography

Great photography is about noticing the moment before it passes. Our photographers specialize in capturing people, products, and events with a natural, unposed feel. These are images that hold up whether they’re on your website, your marketing materials, or your walls.
