A Potted History
Before striking out on our own we've worked for big companies (Dell, Citrix), small companies and companies in the middle. We've scaled up, scaled down, been acquired (more than once). We've helped to create internal software, commercial software and re-write software that ran to millions of lines of code.
We think there are lots of companies who would benefit from this experience on an advisory basis rather than filling a senior role right away. So we created Mentasta.

Still waiting to make the jump to agile? Made the leap but you’re not seeing the benefits you were sold? We’re experts at pragmatic agile, in other words making agile process work for the roles you have in place and the destination you want to reach. Trying to implement agile without coaching and mentoring, and without being upfront about the benefits the engineering team AND the business will lead to inefficiencies and fractious relationships.
Whatever stage you’re at, it’s likely we can (with 15 years and 10s of engineering teams experience), help you to achieve the quality, timeliness and features you are expecting.

We believe it’s a smart approach to invest in your people. After all, they have the expertise that really runs your company. But promoting people and expecting them to grow into the role can leave them struggling. We love to coach and mentor engineering leaders who are new to a role and need a bit of extra support while they make the transition: From how to report upwards to how to assert themselves in a new role where they are expected to both speak up and offer and implement solutions and everything in-between.
We have grown from software engineering roles and love to help people with the same opportunity achieve their potential. Helping them to learn from our shared experiences.
Capacity
Coaching
Observability
We understand the challenges facing growing businesses. Capability in niche (and not so niche), areas is hard to find and puts a significant drain on company finances. We work with excellent partners based in lower cost economies to provide capacity and capability gains via extended team or outsource models. The only thing we don’t like
We understand the challenges facing growing businesses. Capability in niche (and not so niche), areas is hard to find and puts a significant drain on company finances. We work with excellent partners based in lower cost economies to provide capacity and capability gains via extended team or outsource models. The only thing we don’t like is factory.
We have created multiple extended teams and will help you with the initial set up and ongoing support (if required).
Observability
Vision & Strategy
Observability
Observability is a critical part of understanding quality. Mentasta has 10 years of observability experience, from public cloud application monitoring to building a bespoke monitoring solution reporting on 1000s of devices. We love transparency and are experts in implementing, enhancing and replacing existing solutions.
