Vibe Coding & Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE)

We embed elite engineers directly into your business to build software in record time with artificial intelligence. We work across six areas: the FDE model of immersion in your operations, vibe coding and AI-first development, focus on business architecture, execution integrated into your technology ecosystem, hyper-accelerated tactical prototyping, and knowledge transfer to your team. We serve companies in Tarragona and across Spain.

A Forward Deployed Engineer is a software engineer who works embedded in the client's operations, instead of developing remotely from a requirements document. They work alongside business teams, understand problems first-hand and build solutions on the fly, validating them with real users. It is the model popularised by leading technology companies to deploy complex software with immediate business impact.

Vibe coding is a way of developing software in which the engineer describes what they need in natural language and artificial intelligence generates, modifies and debugs the code. The engineer directs, reviews and makes the architecture decisions, while AI handles the bulk of the code writing. This takes you from a business problem to a working solution in days, not months, at a much lower cost than traditional development.

Yes, if it is done by expert engineers with a method. The risk of vibe coding arises when it is used without technical knowledge and the code and architecture generated by AI are accepted without review. At Macaque Consulting, every generated line is reviewed by senior engineers, with automated testing, version control and security standards backed by our ISO/IEC 27001:2023 certification. AI speed with engineering judgement: AI without the hype.

In a traditional consultancy, the project goes through long phases of analysis, documentation and development before the business sees any results, and what is delivered often no longer meets the real need. In the FDE model, the engineer works inside your operations, prototypes from day one and fine-tunes the solution with users in very short cycles. Fewer intermediaries, fewer documents and more useful software in production.

The software and the knowledge stay in your company. We document the solution, train your team in its use and maintenance, and transfer AI-driven development practices so they can keep evolving it autonomously. If you prefer, we can continue providing support and evolving the software. The goal is to solve the business problem and leave your organisation more capable, not to create dependency.
