A development studio focused on backend systems, infrastructure, and making complex products work at scale.
We focus on the parts most teams struggle to hire for: distributed systems, blockchain infrastructure, and long-term reliability.
We partner with technical founders and engineering teams building infrastructure-heavy products where reliability and correctness aren't negotiable.
Senior engineers only. No handoffs. We stay embedded from architecture through uptime.
The studio was founded and is run by Francis
