All Human is an award-winning Irish digital consultancy specialising in high-stakes digital transformation for enterprise and semi-state organisations. Their clients include An Post, Irish Life, and Fáilte Ireland. The work spans AI-powered platforms, UX and CX design, Kentico-based engineering, conversion optimisation, and full-stack development, often across multiple clients and projects running at the same time. In 2026, the company has moved heavily toward AI strategy and Engineering-as-a-Service, helping large organisations tackle AI governance and the European Accessibility Act. Their mission is to humanize innovation, combining deep behavioural insight with advanced technology to build digital experiences that perform at scale.
To support that ambition without overstretching their core team, All Human partnered with Index.dev in June 2022 to bring in experienced engineers who could plug directly into their projects and deliver. Four years on, the collaboration is still ongoing, with three engineers currently embedded across several active accounts.

All Human helps organisations design and build digital platforms that improve customer engagement and business performance, combining user research, digital strategy, design, engineering, and data analysis. Many of their projects involve complex public sector or enterprise platforms that require long-term maintenance and continuous feature development.
Running multiple client projects simultaneously, each with its own stack, team structure, and delivery requirements, is simply how they operate. One team deep in a government digital infrastructure project. Another building a customer-facing platform for a financial services brand. Another mid-way through a CMS migration for a national organization.
The projects don't pause for each other.
That kind of environment puts real pressure on engineering capacity. You need developers who can context-switch, who understand how agencies work, who don't need three weeks of onboarding before they're useful. And you need enough of them, with the right skills, at the right time.
The Challenge
All Human's core team focuses on strategy, design, and delivery. But engineering demand changes constantly depending on how many client projects are active and what each one needs.
That created a few specific challenges.
Some projects required skills that are genuinely hard to find. React and modern front-end tooling on one side. Kentico and .NET Core on the other. Kentico in particular is a niche CMS with a limited talent pool globally. Finding someone with real, hands-on Kentico experience who could work on live projects for major clients without a long ramp-up, that's not a quick search.
Beyond the technical side, there was also the question of fit. Agency work is fast and sometimes messy. Engineers need to be comfortable with ambiguity, responsive to shifting priorities, and able to work alongside designers, strategists, and project managers who aren't technical. Not everyone handles that well.
And then there was the structural problem. Hiring permanent staff for every project wasn't practical. Headcount is a long-term commitment, and client workloads don't move in straight lines. But short-term freelancers create their own headaches: slow starts, shallow context, and the constant churn of bringing someone new up to speed just as a project hits its most critical phase.
What All Human really needed was a stable extension of their engineering team. Developers who could plug into existing projects quickly, stay long enough to build real knowledge of the systems, and move between projects when priorities shifted. Senior enough to work independently. Grounded enough to integrate without friction.
"Agency work moves fast. One month you're deep in a government platform, the next a new client lands and you need extra engineers immediately. What we needed was stability without losing flexibility."
Brian Leonard, Marketing & AI Strategy, All Human
The Solution
During the partnership, more than 10 engineers joined All Human through Index.dev. Each brought hands-on experience and integrated quickly into existing project teams without needing extensive onboarding. Today, three of them remain embedded across several ongoing projects, supporting key client work and internal initiatives.
The assigned engineering talent covered a mix of roles, including full-stack development, front-end engineering, and Kentico/.NET development. Some focused on long-running client platforms, helping maintain and enhance critical systems, while others contributed to internal initiatives and AI-focused projects. The engineers were able to move between projects as priorities shifted, providing flexibility while maintaining continuity.
At one point, a contractor had to step away unexpectedly just a few months into the engagement due to a personal matter. To keep the project on track, the developer recommended a replacement and personally guided the handover, running knowledge transfer sessions and staying available to answer questions during the first few weeks, even after officially stepping away. Index.dev handled the contractual and operational steps to bring the replacement on board smoothly. The project continued without interruption.
“The engineers came in and quickly became part of the team. There was no long adjustment period. They understood the projects, asked the right questions, and started delivering.”

The Impact
Four years in, the most important outcome is consistency.
All Human's engineering capacity is stable across multiple client accounts. Issues are resolved quickly, and client feedback is positive. Engineers who joined years ago have built deep knowledge of the systems they work on, which means less time explaining context and more time delivering.
Key client accounts were renewed, and ongoing projects continue to benefit from experienced engineers who maintain solid delivery and clear communication.
Beyond the day-to-day, the partnership has also started shaping how All Human approaches capacity planning. With a growing pipeline of commercial opportunities and government tenders, and a new CTO bringing a machine learning background into the mix, they're exploring how Index.dev can support AI-heavy projects, not just fill existing gaps. As that shift accelerates, the engineers already placed are upskilling and integrating AI tools into their workflows.
Meeting in Dublin After Years of Remote Work
In October 2025, members of both teams finally met in person after several years of working together remotely.
Andi Stan, CSO at Index.dev, and Eugene Garla, Global Growth Partner, visited All Human’s Dublin office and met Brian Leonard, who leads Marketing and AI Strategy. The meeting gave both sides a chance to step away from video calls and better understand how each organisation actually works day to day. Some things are simply easier to see in person than through emails and project updates.
The All Human team shared more about the scale of their work, including national digital platforms and government projects they support across Ireland. They also spoke about their new leadership structure, including a CTO with a strong machine learning background and a growing focus on AI strategy. At the same time, they learned more about the global engineering network supporting the collaboration.
But the most valuable part of the meeting was simply connecting on a human level.
The conversation also naturally moved to a bigger topic.
The conversation also went somewhere else. Both organisations are dealing with the same disruption: what AI means for how digital products get built, how teams are structured, and how agencies and engineering networks need to adapt. Talking through these changes openly, sharing what each side is seeing in practice, was the kind of exchange that rarely happens during a routine project call.
And of course, the discussion continued over a long lunch in Dublin.
“At the end of the day, we have HUMAN in our name. Even though most of the work happens remotely, the relationship has always felt collaborative and personal. That makes a big difference.”
