Technology for
problems that
matter
We help organisations make sense of complex problems and turn them into products and services that work in the real world.
From problems to working services.
We work from discovery through to live, combining delivery, user-centred design and AI-enabled ways of working.
Delivery
Take products and services from discovery through design, build, launch and live with multi-disciplinary teams.
Product · Engineering · DesignUser-centred design
Understand the people who use, operate and support a service, then design changes around real needs, tasks and constraints.
Research · Service design · Prototyping · Continuous improvementAI-enabled ways of working
Use AI to accelerate research, analysis, prototyping and engineering—while keeping judgement and accountability with the team.
AI-assisted delivery · Rapid prototyping · Engineering accelerationTen years across government and defence.
Experience designing, delivering, managing and supporting products and services with the following organisations.
Secure and operational products
Secure file exchange, operational scheduling and portfolio-management tooling for critical defence environments.
Service standards
Establishing government service standards for an international partner and helping teams apply them through exemplar services.
Legacy replatforming
Replatforming legacy technology while protecting the continuity of prison services.
Funding at scale
Funding-management and calculation products supporting decisions worth more than £1 billion each year.
Experience includes work undertaken by David Swordy before Swordstack was established. Sensitive or operational details have been omitted.
Founder-led. Built to scale when needed.
Swordstack was founded and is led by David Swordy, an experienced technologist with ten years working across government and defence.
David works across product, engineering and design, connecting user needs, organisational priorities and the realities of delivery to solve meaningful problems.
For larger or specialist projects, Swordstack can bring together trusted associates across product, design, engineering and delivery.
