Simple by design

No unnecessary meetings, no hand-holding. Just a clear process that keeps projects moving.

We learn your business, your users, and your constraints — before writing a single line of code.

02

Technical Direction

We define the architecture, stack, and roadmap. You approve the plan before we build.

About

Built to be a partner, not a vendor

Helix DevWorks is a remote-first engineering partner for startups and established B2B companies. We design, build, test, and maintain scalable web applications, SaaS platforms, and API-driven systems — from architecture through to production.

🔀

We adapt to your workflow

We work within your existing tools and processes, or bring our own proven stack. Either way, we introduce improvements where they add value — not friction.

🔐

You own the code

Everything we build belongs to you. We set up repos under your account or deliver into your existing codebase and infrastructure — no lock-in, ever.

👥

Flexible engagement

Embed with your existing team or let us operate as an independent unit. We can work alongside your developers or own the project end-to-end — your call.

Team

Founder-led, expert by design

Cyrille B. Delavenne — Founder, Helix DevWorks
Cyrille B. Delavenne
Founder & Engineering Lead

Engineering leader with 10+ years in B2B SaaS. The defining chapter: 8 years at one startup — starting as the only engineer, no hiring playbook, no management template. I replaced a failing outsourced team, built my own from scratch, developed those people into self-sufficient contributors, and grew into the CTO role as the technical face of the company.

My methods stay sharp because I’m still in the trenches — I’ve led engineering at a fast-growth legal AI company, solving the same class of problems your project faces. You get that real-world experience applied directly, not just a track record.

Assembled for your project

I keep the core lean and bring in vetted specialists matched to each engagement — real people hired to fill the exact roles your project needs, not a standing bench you pay for between projects. When the scope justifies it, they're dedicated to you full-time (today, a five-engineer team on a live enterprise platform). I handle the full process myself: specs, sourcing, onboarding. Your team integrates with ours, or we run fully independently. Clear communication, defined expectations. No bloat.
