Salt Lake City, Utah
Systems that think ahead so your business never falls behind
Crooked Tree designs, integrates, and optimizes computer systems that turn complexity into clarity. From infrastructure architecture to platform engineering, we build the invisible layer that powers everything you do.
What we do
End-to-end systems expertise under one roof
We cover the full lifecycle of computer systems design so you get cohesive results without patching together multiple vendors.
Platform Engineering
Custom internal platforms that streamline developer workflows, automate infrastructure provisioning, and enforce consistency across environments.
Cloud Integration
Hybrid and multi-cloud strategies that balance performance, cost, and compliance while keeping your data exactly where it needs to be.
Data Systems Design
Data pipelines, warehousing, and real-time analytics architectures that turn raw information into decisions your leadership can act on.
Security Engineering
Security woven into every layer of the stack, not bolted on after the fact. Threat modeling, IAM architecture, and zero-trust design patterns.
Managed Operations
Ongoing system stewardship including monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, and continuous optimization so your team can focus on product.
Who we are
Crooked Tree Collaborative LLC
Founded in Salt Lake City, we are a systems design firm built on the belief that great technology is invisible. It stays out of the way and lets people do their best work. Our team brings together engineers, architects, and strategists who have spent years inside enterprise environments and know firsthand where off-the-shelf solutions fall short.
We do not sell products. We sell outcomes: systems that stay up, scale gracefully, and cost less to operate than the patchwork they replace. Every engagement starts with listening and ends with a measurable improvement in how your technology serves your business.
How we work
A repeatable process that delivers consistent results
Every project follows our five-phase methodology, refined across dozens of engagements.
01
Discovery
We map your current state, interview stakeholders, and define success criteria before drawing a single diagram.
02
Blueprint
Architecture documentation, trade-off analysis, and a phased implementation roadmap aligned to your budget and timeline.
03
Build
Infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, and rigorous peer review. Everything is version-controlled and reproducible.
04
Validate
Load testing, security audits, failover drills, and compliance checks before anything goes into production.
05
Transfer
Documentation, runbooks, training sessions, and a smooth handoff so your team owns the system with confidence.

Client voices
Trusted by teams who depend on their systems every day
Crooked Tree rebuilt our entire deployment pipeline and cut release cycles from two weeks to under an hour. The difference in team morale alone was worth the investment.
We brought them in to untangle a multi-cloud migration that had stalled for months. They delivered a clean architecture document in two weeks and had us running in production by the end of the quarter.
What sets Crooked Tree apart is their documentation and knowledge transfer. We were not left dependent on them — we were left capable and confident.
