Less pitch,

§ 01 — What we do

Three kinds of work, one bar.

We pick work where craft moves the needle. Where the product is the brand. Where the team behind it gives a damn.

01 AI · Products

Research, shipped as products.

Models are interesting. Products are useful. We build the layer between. The editor, the agent, the workflow that turns a paper into something people open every day.

For founders & labs SB · WORK · 01
02 Daily · Apps

The apps you open before coffee.

The bar for daily software is higher than quarterly software. We work to it. The kind of app you’d notice if it disappeared.

For consumer & prosumer SB · WORK · 02
03 Internal · Tools

Software for the people behind it.

Admin panels, dashboards, ops tools. The unglamorous work that keeps real products running. The internal user gets the same care as the external one.

For teams 5 – 50 SB · WORK · 03
§ 02 — Who we are

Two people. Deeply involved.

There is no middle layer. You work with the people who build the work. We answer our own email, we open our own pull requests, and we’re both on the call.

C. Han
Engineer · Co-founder

Frontend, backend, the bits that hold up under real load. Cares about the moment software stops feeling like software.

S. Ryu
Researcher · Co-founder

Models and methods. Turns research into shippable behavior. The interesting work happens at the seam between what a model can do and what a person actually needs.

§ 03 — How we work

Direct. Concrete. Two-hand-built.

We don’t have process. We have habits. Here’s how a job goes, start to ship.

01

A conversation.

We talk through what you’re making, what’s in the way, and whether we’re the right team. If we’re not, we’ll say so on the call.

02

A small commitment.

Two weeks. Working prototype. Clear scope and price. If it’s not working for either of us at the end, we both walk. No second invoice, no hard feelings.

03

The build.

Both of us in the repo. No handoffs. No middle layer. No account manager standing between you and the code.

04

Shipped, then kept alive.

We don’t disappear at launch. Weekly, monthly, retainer, on call. Whatever the product needs.

We reply within 2 business days
