We believe Software is Craft▮

Not PowerPoints. Not buzzword bingo.
Code that works.
Architecture that scales.
Teams that ship.

// MISSION

What we do

We bring companies to the cloud. Properly. Not "lift and shift", not shoving VMs onto EC2 and calling it "cloud". Cloud-native means rethinking architecture, culture, and processes.

What we don't do

Write 200-page concept docs
Endless discovery phases
Consult without delivering
We build. We ship. We iterate.

For whom

For companies that know their 2015 infrastructure isn't cutting it anymore. For CTOs and team leads who want a partner that gets their hands dirty — not just advises.

// PRINCIPLES

01 /

Ship It

A good solution today beats a perfect one in six months. Iteration beats specification.

02 /

Own It

We take responsibility. For the code, the architecture, the results. No excuses.

03 /

Keep It Simple

The best architecture is the simplest one that solves the problem. Overengineering is a bug.

04 /

Automate Everything

If it can be automated, it will be. CI/CD, IaC, testing — no manual toil.

05 /

Be Honest

If something sucks, we say so. If a technology doesn't fit, we advise against it. Even if it costs us revenue.

06 /

Teach & Share

We make ourselves obsolete. Knowledge transfer isn't a nice-to-have — it's part of the job.
