Deep-tech consultancy — AI first
BenIT Consulting helps leadership teams decide what to build, then builds it — modern cloud foundations, real data pipelines, AI systems that survive contact with production, and the security posture to defend them.
Services
Four delivery areas, one senior point of contact — strategy and build, not one or the other.
Strategy and engineering: decide what to build, then ship something that actually runs in production.
Roadmaps, vendor selection, and CIO-as-a-service for organisations without a permanent CTO.
AWS, Azure and GCP foundations built with infrastructure-as-code from day one — so AI workloads have somewhere to land.
Audits and compliance evidence that auditors actually accept — and AI threat modelling for what you're shipping next.
How we work with you
Different problems call for different shapes of help.
Bespoke engagements to take a specific AI/LLM idea from prototype to production — including evaluation, cost modelling and operational handoff.
1:1 or team mentoring for engineering leaders and IT teams who want a senior sparring partner, not a permanent dependency.
Half-day and full-day training on cloud, DevOps, data and applied AI — tailored to your stack, not a generic deck.
Process
No sales theatre. A short, candid path from first call to working software (or a defensible decision not to build).
A 60-minute working call. We map the goal, the constraints, the data, the people and the deadline — and decide together whether this is even the right thing to build.
A short written brief with options, costs, risks and a recommended path. Sized so we can ship the first useful version in weeks, not quarters.
Built in your stack, by me, with infrastructure-as-code, tests, observability and security baked in — not bolted on at the end.
Documentation, runbooks and a working knowledge transfer with your engineers. You should be able to keep going without me — that's the point.

Jose Benitez · Independent technology consultant
Mentoring teams across Europe since 2019
I work the way I'd want a consultant to work for me: directly, with skin in the game, and ready to disagree with you when it matters. You get a senior engineer in the room — not a deck, not a delivery manager, not a junior team learning on your budget. The goal is always that you end the engagement stronger than you started, with people on your side who can keep going without me.
Based in North Wales — working with clients across the UK, Spain and the wider EU.
Selected work
A few representative engagements. Named clients on request.
A mid-market services firm wanted ChatGPT-for-our-policies. We replaced their previous prototype with a retrieval pipeline they could audit, added evaluation runs against curated questions, and locked source citations into every answer. Result: legal signed off, and the assistant entered daily use across three teams.
A regulated SaaS scaleup had outgrown a hand-built AWS account. We rebuilt their foundation in Terraform with proper environments, secrets, observability and cost tagging — then migrated workloads behind feature flags so nothing on the customer side moved.
An EU AI-product team had been failing the same control mappings for two audits. We rewrote their evidence trail around how the product actually works, automated the recurring artefacts, and walked the auditors through it. Certification passed first time on the next attempt.
Examples shown are representative engagement shapes. Real names, dates and metrics shared under NDA on request.
