Industries / Startups, Scale-ups & Founders
The senior person in the room — the week you need one.
Funded teams hit moments that can't wait for a months-long hire: a scaling wall, a security scare, a migration, a diligence deadline. Bonvo drops in at senior level immediately — and hands back a team that can run without it.
The problem
The moments Bonvo is built for
You need a staff-level architect now, but a perm search will take months.
A migration, rewrite, or reliability problem is bigger than the team can absorb.
An investor or acquirer wants technical due diligence — fast and credible.
The roadmap needs architectural direction and review it doesn't yet have in-house.
What Bonvo brings
What Bonvo brings
Fractional architect / staff engineer
Recurring senior ownership inside your team: architecture direction, design and code review, incident command, and the mentoring that raises the ceiling — without the full-time seat.
Rescue missions & project ownership
A failing system with a fixed deadline, taken end to end. Immediate start, days to weeks, delivered hands-on.
Technical due diligence
A decision-grade read of a codebase, team, and infrastructure before you invest, acquire, or scale — with a prioritised risk and investment map.
Track record
Founder-to-founder credibility
Bonvo's founder has been on both sides: a co-founder and CEO who took an AI startup through two B2G contracts and real deployments, and a senior platform engineer who owns reliability, security, and the AI practice on a mission-critical platform today. He works B2B, remote with US-overlap hours — perm-open, contract-available — the setup that makes a senior architect useful to a growing company immediately.
What colleagues say
I worked with Gergely at Affinitext, where I was the lead developer, and he was a senior Python developer. I can say with confidence that he is one of the best engineers I have worked with. Gergely was responsible for our CI/CD pipelines and monitoring, and he was always the person we called when something went wrong in production. He also led the effort to clean up and modernize our old Python codebase, which was no small task. He solved some very difficult technical problems during his time with us — things like database incidents, complex migration issues, and performance problems in our backend. These are not easy situations, and he always handled them well. But what I appreciate most about Gergely is how he communicates. He can explain technical concepts simply to non-technical people, which is uncommon for a developer at his level. This made him very valuable not just on the engineering team, but across the whole company.
The practice scales
One architect accountable. A team when the job needs it.
Bonvo is led hands-on by one senior architect. But you are never limited to one pair of hands: the practice scales a vetted senior team up to the size a job requires — and back down when it's done — without ever changing who owns the outcome.
One accountable owner
Every engagement is owned end to end by Gergely Kovács — the architect who does the work, commands the incident, and signs off on the result. That never changes.
A senior bench, on demand
When a build needs more hands, Bonvo assembles a vetted team of senior engineers scaled to the job — from a solo rescue to a full squad — and stands it down when the work is done.
No bench-warming, no dilution
You pay for the size the problem needs, not a fixed team. The standard stays senior; the outcome stays owned by one person.
