SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, NO SMALL PRINT.

A small outfit of senior engineers.
Compilers we understand. Systems we can untangle.
Algorithms we can prove. Nothing handed off to the B-team.

5 directoriesAI / ML
Agents, retrieval, evals. Built for production, not a demo.
LLMs / RAG / PythonApplications
Web, mobile, desktop, CLI. The whole thing, end to end.
Rails / React / SwiftUISystems & infrastructure
Load, latency, contention. The parts that have to hold.
Rust / Go / KafkaAlgorithms
When the library ends and the actual problem begins.
Graphs / geometry / searchArchitecture & consulting
A second pair of senior eyes. An honest technical opinion.
Audits / architecture / CTO5 directories, one standard. Read the code before writing the pitch.
cat tenets.md
nothing up our sleeves- 01 /
Read the code.
If the docs disagree with the code, the code wins. We read yours before we write ours.
- 02 /
Earn the clever.
Dumb code that runs beats smart code that doesn't. Complexity needs a reason to be here.
- 03 /
Own the result.
Tests, deployment, the awkward edge cases. We stick around for the part after the demo.

all work ↗Millions of events.
No room to stall.
A real-time analytics pipeline, built around a Rust service core. Sub-millisecond p99 latency.
Rust / Kafka / PostgreSQL enterprise / AILess paper chase.
More signal.
Document intelligence that reduced manual review by 90%. Retrieval, extraction, and source-linked answers.

GOT A HARD ONE?
Good.
Tell us about it.
The problem. The constraints. The bit keeping you up at night. A paragraph is enough to start.
