Ingenire had two senior engineers resign within four weeks of each other.

I am Thomas Übermeier. I have 25+ years of engineering experience, including serving as VP of Engineering at Parity (Polkadot) and Head of Engineering at IOG (Cardano). Ingenire is my technical consulting practice. I help software startups fix their architecture, scale their engineering teams, and compliantly enter the EU market. If you are looking for a cheap offshore dev shop, a traditional consultancy that will hand your project to a junior, or a firm that just hands you a legal checklist for compliance—do not hire me. If you need a battle-tested technical partner who translates business goals into engineering execution, let's talk. I work with founders across two main areas: 1. BLOCKCHAIN & ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP (Fractional CTO) Startups need senior engineering leadership but often can't justify a full-time executive hire early on. I provide: • Fractional CTO services and interim engineering leadership. • Blockchain strategy and Web3 architecture design (Substrate, EVM). • Team scaling, mentoring, and technical process implementation. 2. EU MARKET ENTRY FOR STARTUPS US startups expanding to Europe face a maze of compliance requirements. A US law firm's legal opinion won't protect you if your engineering team hasn't physically separated EU data. I provide: • GDPR operational implementation (technical measures, data processing workflows, not just legal theater). • EU-compliant cloud architecture (sovereign hosting, data residency design). • EU AI Act readiness and technical compliance assessment. • Cross-border IT operations setup in Germany (payroll, banking, contractor compliance). I don't sell slide decks. I focus on shipping software that actually works and setting up operational compliance that holds up under scrutiny.
