About us

With offices in London, Lisbon, and Porto, YLD is a software engineering, data science and product design consultancy, specialising in customer experience and disruptive technologies. We were among the first adopters of innovative technologies like Node.js, React.js, React Native, Kubernetes, and GraphQL, which are now staples for many businesses. YLD was also an early adopter of Design Systems as a service and founded Design Systems London, a non-profit community focused on design and product. We leave your teams and tech in a better space by curating bespoke teams of cross-functional experts in software engineering, architecture, DevOps, delivery, design, product and data science to work alongside your teams through close collaboration and, where needed, pair programming or technical training. We drive rapid iteration towards key business objectives, vision and chosen metrics, creating a long-standing product culture and delivery capability in each piece of work. We’ve helped companies like Bulb, Uphold, NewDay, GoDaddy, CondeNast, and many others, achieve technical product excellence. As a result, we enable organisations, regardless of industry, to become their most successful by creating and nurturing a culture that embraces experimentation and learning that lasts beyond the partnership. We are committed to the Open Source community, with almost 10,000 contributions across 500 open source projects. Collective contributions result in more robust, innovative and faster solutions, allowing open source communities to review the code and propose improvements that increase security and reliability. We are also actively engaged in numerous engineering and design communities, supporting and organising the likes of ReactJS Girls and Design Systems London with both online and in-person events and conferences.

    What does driving innovation in FinTech look like? For NewDay, it meant building an advanced, digital-first platform to provide seamless credit access for their customers. We partnered with them, offering our software engineering expertise across multiple projects. A key achievement was developing and maintaining .NET services to handle critical regulatory functions, while continuously iterating on their products to meet evolving needs. 💡 Discover more: https://lnkd.in/djWJJ8f8 #fintech #softwareengineering #innovation

    We’re still reflecting on last week’s event for CTOs, CPTOs, and CPOs, which we co-hosted with numi, and we keep going back to David Wascha's quote: “If you’re not slightly embarrassed by the person you were a year ago, then you’re not growing fast enough.” Innovation flourishes when we embrace change. For a company, staying ahead requires constant adaptation and bold decisions. Growth isn’t a one-time leap; it’s all about continuous progress every single day. What bold changes are you embracing to accelerate growth? Share with us in the comments! #innovation #technology #leadership

    Our team enjoyed a great night co-hosting an exclusive evening for CTOs, CPTOs, and CPOs in partnership with numi at Monzo Bank’s office. We enjoyed great chats with the attendees, discussing the latest trends in the product and tech world, and hearing from industry leaders John MarshallYuelin LiSean O'Neill, and Jo Wickremasinghe in a panel moderated by David Wascha. The discussions covered the ever-changing role of the CPO and the influence of CTPOs in organisations, the need to understand product timelines and the overall business context, ensuring the right people are in place at the right time, and more.

    We take pride in what we do, and we are dedicated to creating solutions that positively impact people’s lives. In partnership with State School Ventures, YLD supported the build of Donup, a platform for managing, tracking, and optimising donations. Our team developed features to monitor charitable contributions, providing clearer visibility into the impact of donations with full transparency. This partnership reflects our commitment to integrity and responsibility. #softwareengineering #productdesign #technology

    Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and at YLD, we know that caring for both our physical and mental wellbeing is key to thriving at work and in life. We recently had an insightful learning lunch session with a guest speaker Valentina Cartago from The Wellbeing Agency on the importance of Gut Health and its impact on our wellbeing, focus and productivity at work. As a team, we explored the digestive system and gut microbiome, discussed conditions linked to poor gut health, and gained valuable lifestyle tips to boost our gut wellbeing. #WMHD #mentalhealth #wellbeingatwork

    DevOps is widely adopted across many organisations due to its numerous benefits. However, some organisations can easily fall into the trap of creating a dedicated DevOps team, which can be counterproductive. Common issues include overemphasising tools, prioritising speed over quality, and unintentionally creating new silos within DevOps teams. Platform Engineering and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) are key to avoiding these DevOps antipatterns. 💡 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/env_gQez #devops #antipatterns #thoughtleadership
