We are Engineering and First Principles Thinking driven
Flat structure — No politics — No bullshit
Hardware. Software. Infrastructure. We master the entire technology stack — from embedded systems to cloud-scale platforms serving thousands of devices deployed into the wild.
No preferences, only the best tools for the job. Long-term, maintainable, flexible, and scalable systems.
Battle-tested solutions composed to quickly deliver scalable and cross-platform systems.
First principles thinking, from the ground up
We start from the building blocks, getting to the core of the system, as one of the best ways to reverse-engineer complicated problems. Our mindset is shaped by reasoning from first principles. Reasoning by first principles removes the impurity of assumptions and conventions.
We assemble the solution from the ground up, using the best building blocks, identified using first principles. Reusing a reliable set of building blocks is the key aspect to efficiency and flexibility. We leverage battle tested solutions to quickly provide the result.
Scalability is never costless and it is required to build properly from the ground up to be able to face viable trade-offs. Our flexible building blocks enable evolutionary architectures taking scalability into account.
