Software, built like craftsmanship.
Production-grade systems for maritime, logistics and fintech. Designed and delivered by a small team of senior engineers — not assembled, not outsourced.
We work directly with the people who run the business, and we own what we ship.
systems we build
Distributed by design. Observable by default. Resilient where it matters — at sea, on the line, in production.
What we mean by digital artisans
Small team. Direct ownership. Built for the real world.
A senior team, end to end
No layers, no juniors learning on your project. The people who scope the work also write the code and run it in production.
No outsourcing
Everything is built in-house. You always know who owns each part of the system, and who to call when it matters.
Designed, not assembled
We don't glue templates together. Architecture, data model and operational concerns are decided deliberately, for your constraints.
Built for systems that run
We build software that has to work — under load, at sea, on a factory floor, or against a clearing house. Reliability is the baseline.
Services
What we build.
- Backend & distributed systemsServices that stay correct under concurrency, failure and growth.
- Data-intensive platformsReal-time, event-driven pipelines and the storage that backs them.
- Logistics & optimization systemsRouting, scheduling and operations tooling used by real teams.
- Maritime & IoT solutionsOnboard software, telemetry and integrations with industrial protocols.
- MVP to production scalingFrom a focused first version to a system that holds up at scale.
Selected work
Capabilities, drawn from real deployments.
Logistics platforms
Built from zero to production: routing, dispatch and operations consoles used daily by ground teams.
JavaSpring BootPostgreSQLReact
Financial systems
Reliable transaction processing built around messaging. Auditable, idempotent, and recoverable by design.
Kafkaevent sourcingJava
IoT systems
Onboard deployments with industrial protocol integrations and constrained-network tolerance.
MQTTModbusedge gateways
Booking & operations
Production booking and operations platforms used in real environments by non-technical operators.
SpringMongoDBReact
Platform foundations
Observability, deployment pipelines and the operational backbone that keeps the rest of the system honest.

How we work
From concept to production.
- 01
Understand the constraint
We start with the real problem — the operational, regulatory or technical constraint that decides what good looks like.
- 02
Ship a focused MVP
A small, honest first version in production quickly. No throwaway prototypes, no parallel codebases.
- 03
Scale on solid ground
We harden, instrument and grow the system as it earns its place. No overengineering before it's needed.
- 04
Stay close
No handoffs to a different team. The people who built it keep running it with you.
Systems that run in production.
Built around real constraints.
Owned end-to-end by the people who built them.
