Production Patterns

What we do

## Wilde Agency ships production AI-native software for funded startups and PE-backed companies.

Agent infrastructure. Multi-agent systems. Claude Code at production. Rescuing prototypes that can't scale.

Anthropic bundled Claude Code into every Team plan in 2026. We've been running it in production daily since April 2025 — twelve months earlier. That year is patterns: which generations to keep, which to throw away, and which architectures let AI move fast without compounding debt. It's not a tool advantage. It's a judgment advantage.

The conversation starts the same way for a Series A rescue or a PE diligence engagement — honest math about what's there and what it'll take.

Where the Patterns Come From

## Every pattern is earned, not borrowed.

Amazon · Netflix · Yahoo

A decade building at the largest scale on earth. Ad platforms serving millions, targeting systems processing billions of events, personalization engines that defined the industry. This is where our scaling patterns were forged.

Northrop Grumman

Mission-critical software for Navy meteorologists. Supercomputer clusters. Security clearance. During Desert Storm, built tools to forecast downwind chemical weapon danger. This is where "failure is not an option" became our default.

Overstock · Taulia

Managing engineering teams across order processing, marketplace integrations, and the monolith-to-microservices migration that every growing company eventually faces. This is where our modernization playbook was written.

AdGlue · The Last Gameboard

Two CTO roles: co-founding a contextual ad targeting company, then leading six parallel product lines — hardware, embedded Android, cloud, mobile, games, and team building from scratch. This is where full executive technical leadership was proven.

## Dathan Guiley

When you hire Wilde Agency, you get me directly — leading the architecture, making the hard calls, and staying hands-on. The person who designed the system is always the person you talk to when something needs to change.

Production AI-native software for funded startups and PE-backed companies. Agent infrastructure, multi-agent systems, Claude Code at production scale — with 30 years of pattern recognition picking which generated code is worth keeping and which will cost 10x to fix later.

As engagements grow, I bring a team scaled to match. But I'm always in the room. No handoffs. No junior devs learning on your dime. No account managers between you and the architect.

Why Wilde

## What makes this different.

### You talk to the architect

No sales team. No account managers. The person on your strategy call is the person who designs your system and reviews every line of code. Direct access, always.

### Every project builds on the last

Our codebase isn't static. Every engagement adds patterns, every launch hardens the foundation. You benefit from lessons learned across dozens of production deployments.

### We guarantee what we ship

On-time launch. 90-day quality. 10x scalability. These aren't marketing claims — they're written into every engagement. We stand behind everything we build.

### Battle-tested, not theoretical

Every architecture pattern we recommend has been proven in our own production systems first. Real users, real traffic, real revenue on the line. When we say it works, it's because we're running it.
