for

We’re a research-driven engineering studio. We work with research labs, founders, and operations teams to build AI products, internal platforms, and the systems that quietly hold everything up.

Research-driven engineering

Built on research. Shipped with care.

Hard problems don’t get solved by guessing. We start every project with proper evaluation, prototyping, and applied research. All done in-house, by the people who’ll write the code.

Applied AI · R&D

AI products grounded in real research.

RAG systems, agents, voice automation. Built on top of evaluation, retrieval, and safety work we publish internally and improve every sprint.

Cross-platform · React Native

One codebase. Every surface.

We build for web and native mobile (iOS + Android) from a single React Native codebase. Same engineers, same design language, ship to every platform.

How we work

Software that takes the complex problems seriously.

We build for the work that matters. Research platforms, operations systems, AI products that people actually rely on. We’re small and careful, and we won’t take on projects we can’t ship with conviction.

01
Built with care.
We sweat the details. Every flow, every error state, every empty screen gets designed and engineered. Nothing slapped together.
02
Biased to the complex.
We take on the work most studios decline: deep domain logic, regulated environments, AI in production, systems with real consequences.
03
Research-driven.
We start with users and evidence. Then we prototype, measure, and rebuild, until the system earns trust on its worst day, not its best.
Products we own

We build products too, not just for clients.

A small portfolio of products we own and operate. The lessons feed straight back into the work we do with partners.

Our team

A team built for the complex work.

We’re a mix of PhDs in AI, senior software engineers, product designers, and a round-the-clock support team. That mix is the point. It’s how we take on the work most studios pass on.

AI · ML · HCI
PhDs in AI & ML
In-house researchers in agentic systems, retrieval, applied ML, and human-computer interaction. They write papers, but they also ship.
Full-stack
Senior engineers
Median 10+ years building production systems across web, mobile, and platform infrastructure for institutions and operators.
Quality · reliability
QA & test engineers
Test automation, load and chaos testing, and release engineering. The reason production stays quiet on the worst day of the month.
Across 3 timezones
Always-on support
Production systems don’t sleep. Our support team works across Edinburgh, Sri Lanka, and Australia, so someone’s always on watch.
Working across three continents.

We hire researchers who can ship, and engineers who read papers. Research and engineering aren’t separate disciplines here.
