About Us
We do the hard part to make your project work. If you have ever said “I love this idea but have no idea if it can be done,” then that is where we come in.
We also maintain servers. Not everything is about clickable interfaces. We use SSH and Vim. A lot.
4 hours → 5 min
of engineering calculations
Software People Can Keep
Calculations that took engineers 4 hours by hand now take under 5 minutes. We wrote it in Visual Basic on purpose, so the engineers could maintain it themselves. The same thinking in Perl took WHM customer onboarding from 2 hours to 2 minutes.
8 years
in production, watching 800+ sites
Built to Last
A multithreaded C daemon, backed by MySQL, monitored 800+ websites and stayed in production for about 8 years.
8 gyms
on one multi-tenant platform
The Box Tracker
We co-founded a gym management platform for 8 CrossFit gyms. Recurring ACH billing ran in-house: failed payments rolled back for an automatic next-day retry, and no member was charged more than once per billing cycle. We security-tested it for 2 years with Burp Suite and fuzzing.
~100 domains
across 10 servers for 5 clients
Keeping the Lights On
On-site and off-site hosting: DNS, mail servers with SPF and DKIM, networking, firewalls, and PCI DSS compliance for client environments. We once moved a whole server room overnight, re-cabling the racks, with zero business disruption.
2 min → 2 sec
for one product lookup
Finding the Slow Part
A store’s product lookup used 128 MB of memory, 5 MB of HTML and 2 minutes of CPU time. One custom SQL query brought it to 2 seconds and under 32 MB.
