Mission

Build modern systems that scale, remain affordable, and are a pleasure to maintain. Deliver code teams trust—testable, observable, and ready for change.

Objectives

  • Modern & affordable: proven tech that scales and respects cost.
  • Maintainable & testable: clean architecture, contract-first APIs.
  • Quality as a habit: modern tooling and collaborative practices.
  • Partner in success: act as a technical and outcomes partner.
  • Critique-driven design: feedback loops that sharpen every solution.

Operating Principles

  • Clarity first: define the problem, guardrails and success metrics.
  • Own the platform: logs, metrics, traces and SLOs from day one.
  • Prefer boring infra: novelty only where it wins materially.
  • APIs as products: versioned, documented and backward-compatible.
  • Automate the repeatable: CI/CD, quality gates and reproducible environments.

Definition of Done

  • Comprehensive testing: unit, integration and contract tests.
  • Observable systems: dashboards & alerts for latency, traffic, errors and saturation.
  • Operational readiness: runbooks and rollbacks documented with the code.
  • Security fundamentals: least privilege, secret hygiene, dependency health.
  • Cost governance: budget guardrails and cost alerts.
