Two principals.
No hand-offs.
Small by design. Every engagement is handled by the people whose names are on it — no bench, no rotation, no juniors learning on your budget.
The heaven instinct
Order, clarity, restraint. Architecture a stranger can read, interfaces that never lie, documentation written for the person who inherits it. This instinct keeps things clean.
The demon instinct
Appetite, speed, persistence. Working software in weeks, deadlines kept like promises, problems that are not permitted to win. This instinct keeps things moving.
First Principal
Builds the parts nobody sees and everybody depends on. Has strong opinions about backups, and the receipts to justify them. Replace this copy with a real biography — two sentences, no adjectives you can't prove.
Second Principal
Turns "we do this by hand every week" into software that does it nightly. Allergic to meetings that could have been a deploy. Replace this copy with a real biography — same rules.
