The moment something begins.

We shape new products from zero. We support the technical side of startups and research projects at their earliest stage.

Service

Three modes of engagement

From the moment the question of what to build is starting to take shape, all the way to the first users. We engage in three forms, depending on phase and role.

2-1

Zero-to-one product partner 0 → 1

We join from the idea stage and stay with you through tech selection, architecture, and initial implementation — running alongside until the product reaches the world.

  • Stack selection · architecture · initial build
  • Joining from the napkin sketch
2-2

Architecture design DESIGN

For projects already in motion, we step in as the person responsible for design decisions — DB, API, auth, infra, stack. Implementation can stay with your team or come with us.

  • DB · API · auth · infra
  • Design-only or design+build
2-3

R&D implementation BUILD

For research and new-business trials, we build from prototype to the edge of production — PoCs, combinations of novel tech, systems tied to papers. When you need to see it run, fast.

  • PoC · prototype · research code
  • Speed first, sturdiness in mind
03

Projects we welcome

Get in touch

We don't filter by industry or scale. What matters is the fit between the project's phase and the kind of involvement it needs.

We welcome
  • New product launches — from idea and requirements onward
  • PoC / prototype work where speed matters
  • Systems tied to a research project
  • Tech partner role on a startup's own product
  • Re-architecting to move an existing product into its next phase
Not our strong suit
  • Mostly maintenance of existing systems

Because we may not meet your expectations on these, please talk to us first before we commit.

What we've launched

4-1 — Own product Showcase

Pose Analysis

3D pose tracking on a phone — analyse on the spot.

Realtime 3D pose tracking on iPhone / iPad. Powered by a domestic model from Digital Standard cited in medical papers — joint coordinates, joint angles, and CSV export, all in one app. A companion web dashboard lets teams manage sessions on desktop.

Planned, designed, built, and shipped end-to-end in-house — a showcase of how we operate.

Philosophy

The founder's stance

5-1

An obsession with 0→1

Bringing into the world a product that didn't exist before — the sense of infinite possibility there keeps my hands moving. I think I love the moment something begins. The newer it is, the slower the acceptance often is. We keep trying anyway; that's how things take shape.

5-2

Breadth of experience

Startups: EEG measurement, pediatric psychosomatic care, IoT — across several industries as the technical core of new-product launches. Contract work: university research projects, healthcare PoCs at large enterprises. Not an industry specialist — an engineer who's worked across many launches.

5-3

Stack-agnostic, by choice

"What I want to build" comes first; technology is the means. Refusing to be cornered by a stack — choosing, learning, and combining whatever the moment needs — is part of who I am as an engineer.

5-4

PoC speed, product durability

In startup work, what a system needs to be changes hard between phases. PoC: speed first. Productization: maintainability and extensibility first. These two often demand opposite calls. We shift our center of gravity to match the phase.
