01 TESTIMONIALS
$ cat ./reviews/ --verified
"Among the very best teams I've worked with. Foremost experts in their craft who go out of their way to ensure success."
Sam Rose — Postgres team manager at Supabase
"Helped us profile kernel locking issues with no prior experience. Happy to use them again for any level of work."
Sarah Brofeldt (srhb) — DBC Digital A/S
"Upgraded live production infrastructure from hastily assembled deployment to globally-available, well-architected system using cutting-edge technology."
Avi Press — CEO of Scarf
02 THE PITCH
$ cat ./README.md

You have something to build and need engineers who care as much as you do. Our team plugs into yours — building systems, solving problems, and sharing knowledge along the way.

We're not here to create dependencies. We help you move forward, make your team stronger, and when the engagement ends, everything we built is yours to own and maintain.

03 WHAT YOU GET
$ ls ./value/ --all

Problems solved at the root

We don't patch symptoms. Whether it's a flaky build, a performance bottleneck, or a deployment that breaks every Friday — we dig in, understand why it's happening, and fix the underlying cause.

Senior engineers from day one

You talk directly to the people doing the work. No account managers, no juniors ramping up on your dime. Every engineer we place has deep experience in the systems your stack depends on.

Knowledge that stays with your team

We document what we do, explain what we find, and make sure your team can maintain it after we leave. The goal is to make ourselves unnecessary.

04 HOW WE WORK
$ cat ./process.md
Week 0

We talk

You tell us what's broken or what you're trying to build. We're honest about whether we're the right fit. No pitch decks, no sales process — just a conversation between engineers.

Week 1

We dig in

We get access to your codebase and infrastructure. We read the code, talk to your team, and understand the actual state of things — not just the docs.

Week 2+

We ship

Real PRs, real fixes, real infrastructure. You see our work in your repo and your CI. We communicate in your Slack, your standups, your tools.

Ongoing

We transfer

Everything we build gets documented. We do walkthroughs with your team. When the engagement ends, your team owns it completely — no vendor lock-in, no black boxes.

05 WHERE WE HELP
$ ls ./verticals/
Vertical

Developer Platforms

Your build system is slow, your CI is unreliable, or you're migrating to a new toolchain. We help platform teams ship infrastructure that other developers can depend on.

Vertical

AI Infrastructure

You need reproducible training environments, GPU cluster management, or model deployment pipelines that don't break between runs.

Vertical

Ethereum

You're running validators, building relay systems, or deploying smart contracts and need engineers who understand the infrastructure underneath.

Vertical

R&D & Deep Tech

You're working close to the metal — embedded systems, cross-compilation, security hardening, custom OS builds — and need engineers who've been there before.

06 WHO WE ARE
$ ls ./team/ --all

We're 16 engineers across Europe and beyond. Every person here is someone who could end up working on your project. We grew up with Linux and open source — when we're not on client work, we're building tools, contributing upstream, and sharpening our skills in the open.

09 NIX & NIXOS
$ cat ./nix.md
Nix-native

Nix is a package manager that builds software reproducibly. NixOS is a Linux distribution built entirely on Nix — every package, service, and configuration is declared in code and can be rebuilt identically on any machine.

We've been working with Nix and NixOS since the early days. We maintain core tools in the ecosystem, contribute upstream, and help teams adopt it — from first evaluation through production deployment. Reproducible builds, auditable infrastructure, rollbacks that actually work.

If you're not using Nix, that's fine too. We reach for whatever tool gets the job done for your situation.

10 SOVEREIGN INFRASTRUCTURE
$ cat ./sovereign.md

Infrastructure you fully own and control.

Every system we build is yours. No proprietary layers, no managed services you can't leave, no vendor lock-in. You get source code, documentation, and the knowledge to run it without us.

We use Nix to make infrastructure reproducible and auditable — every dependency pinned, every build repeatable, every deployment traceable. You can inspect what's running, rebuild it from scratch, and move it to your own hardware whenever you want.

When regulations tighten or a cloud provider changes terms, you're not scrambling. You already have the keys.
