What we do

Four crafts, one standard

All services
01

AI workflow & automation

Automations, agents, and process tools for the workflows that eat your team's time — built on how your company actually works.

→
02

Web development

Platforms, portals, and the internal tools your team depends on. React, TypeScript, and whatever genuinely fits.

→
03

Mobile & app development

iOS and Android, written once where that's the honest answer and twice where it isn't.

→
04

Software consulting

Architecture reviews, audits, and the advice we'd give our own board — including when it costs us the work.

→

How we work

Simple rules, applied consistently

Everything else is negotiable. These four aren't — they're the difference between a project and a legacy.

01

Small teams

Two or three senior engineers, not a committee.

02

Ship early

A first real deploy inside the first two weeks.

03

Hand over clean

Tests, docs, and a team that runs without us.

04

Tell it straight

We'd rather lose a project to honesty than keep it by nodding.
