Complex systems, built with simplicity.

We architect, build and rescue large-scale Angular and Nx applications. Audits that find the real problems, hands-on execution, and workshops that keep your team fast.

The numbers don't lie: technical debt is expensive, and it is everywhere

42%

of a developer's week goes to maintenance, debugging and technical debt instead of new work. That is the average team, and the average team believes its own situation is better than average.

Stripe, The Developer Coefficient

For a team of eight at a fully loaded ninety thousand euro per engineer, that is over three hundred thousand euro a year that buys no new features. It is spent whether you measure it or not. Every service on this page exists to get some of it back.

Why start with an architecture review

With our Architecture assessment
Angular and Nx experts
Show you how to

IMPROVE

Find the real problems

Fix what matters

Train your team

One review. A report, a roadmap, and the people to carry it out.

Code analysis

The Architecture Assessment

A fixed-scope assessment of your Angular or Nx codebase by senior engineers. Typically two to three weeks from kickoff to roadmap.

01

Deep dive

We read your codebase, architecture and workflows, and talk to the people who work in it daily. That is where the real problems surface.

02

Report

A written report with every finding ranked by impact and the concrete fix for each. No guesswork, no generic advice.

03

Roadmap with your team

We present the findings to your team and turn them into an execution plan that fits your goals, timeline and capacity. You can run it yourself from here.

04 optional

Hands‑on execution

Want it done? We implement the improvements ourselves or guide your developers through every change, pairing and reviewing as we go. Either way, your codebase comes out stronger and your team knows why.

Knowledge without rules evaporates

more likely to be a high-performing team when the decisions that shape the code are written down and easy to find, instead of kept in people's heads.

DORA, Accelerate State of DevOps

A team can agree on a pattern on Thursday and drift from it by the next sprint, because agreement lives in memory and memory is busy. Documentation is not the wiki nobody reads: it is the decision written down and the lint rule that fails the build when someone forgets.

Workshops

Heckers Software teaching Enterprise Angular Patterns

Architecture • Angular

Enterprise Angular Patterns

For teams whose Angular app has grown faster than its structure. We find where it hurts, including the places you have stopped noticing, and show you the way out.

Heckers Software teaching Using AI Effectively in Angular and Nx Projects

AI • Productivity

Using AI Effectively in Angular and Nx Projects

For teams where AI use is spreading unevenly: some developers fly, others distrust every suggestion, and nobody has agreed on the rules.

Building Enterprise-Grade UI Libraries

For teams whose shared components get copied instead of reused, and where every brand tweak turns into a fork.

The people inside cannot see it, and it is not their fault

58%

of a developer's time goes to understanding existing code before a single line of it changes. Writing the change is the small part.

Xia et al., IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering

The people who built the system carry the map in their heads and no longer notice the detours. The developer who joined last pays the full price on every task, which makes them your most accurate measuring instrument.

From the people we have worked with

Every engagement is led by founder Roberto Heckers. These are the words of people who worked with him.

  • Roberto from Heckers Software joined our team. Not by immediately bulldozing through the code, but by carefully and thoughtfully paving the right paths with insight and calm.

    Peter Nieuwenhuyse Software architect & Angular coach
  • Roberto’s knowledge of Angular is exceptionally deep. It’s clear in everything he does that he understands exactly what is happening and why.

    Ferdi Havenaar Manager IT Web & App, Vattenfall
  • Over several years at Marel, Roberto developed a big front-end Angular data visualisation framework for us, going from the earliest versions of Angular to the most recent.

    Marc Caessens Senior Software Program Manager, Marel

Application development

We take on your application development: a section of your existing software, or a complete new application within your suite or as your first application. Full stack, from the screens your users see to the backend and deployment behind them, delivered by one senior team that fits into how you already work.

Two ways to work with us

  • Outsource a section of your application A module, a customer portal, a reporting suite or an integration, built inside your existing codebase to your standards and handed over cleanly to your own developers.
  • Add a new application to your suite A complete product from first sketch to production: architecture, front end, backend, deployment and handover. One accountable team, one point of contact.

What that covers Customer and partner portals, back-office modules, internal tools, reporting, integrations with your ERP and CRM, and the APIs behind them.

Roberto delivers quickly, makes well-considered decisions, and actively contributes to architectural discussions. I can strongly recommend him as a full-stack developer.

Plan your project

No obligation. A short call to see whether we are the right fit.

How we run projects, and three ways to work with us
  • Fits your standards

    Your coding guidelines, security and compliance requirements, and release process. We adapt to your landscape, not the other way around.

  • Senior hands only

    The people you talk to are the people who build. No hand-off to a junior team.

  • You own everything

    Code, documentation and infrastructure live in your repositories from day one. No lock-in.

Tell us about your project

An audit, a workshop, a new application or a codebase that needs rescuing. Describe where you are and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

  1. You get a personal reply from Roberto, not an autoresponder.
  2. We schedule a short call to understand your situation and goals.
  3. You receive a clear proposal with scope, timeline and price.

It was a pleasure working with Heckers Software and having Roberto on our team.
