Pipeline — asset pending
AdTech
High-volume data pipelines
Ingest, enrich, and serve event firehoses at Weborama-scale — without silent drift.
Backend engineering
From MVP
to millions of daily users.
We design the distributed systems and pipelines that start small and hold when the load arrives. Fast iteration. Production that lasts.

System topology — asset pending
MVP → millions
The path we design for — first ship through daily scale, without a rewrite at every order of magnitude.
Fast iteration
Short cycles in production. The architecture stays coherent while you ship.
Senior only
The people who scope the work write the code. No bait-and-switch staffing.
Industries
The load we know.
Wallet flows — asset pending
Re-commerce
KYC and electronic wallets
Identity, payouts, and marketplace integrity. The Leboncoin class of problem: money and trust.
Service graph — asset pending
Social
Spiky load, many services
Notifications, feeds, graphs, ads. A BeReal-scale estate that has to hold when everyone opens the app.
What we build
Complex backends. Clear ownership.
Distributed systems
Microservice estates, social graphs, notification fabrics, feeds, and ads. Designed for failure and for the next spike.
Processing pipelines
High-volume ingest, streaming, and the jobs that turn raw events into something the product can trust.
Stack
The tools we reach for.
A short list, chosen because we have run them at the load this page talks about — not because they are fashionable.
go / service — asset pending
Backend
Go
Honest about concurrency, fast to ship, boring in production. The default when the pipeline has to keep up.
Golang
react / console — asset pending
Frontend
React + TypeScript
One component model from the first screen to the console operators live in. Types where the contracts matter.
ReactTypeScript
expo / app — asset pending
Mobile
React Native + Expo
Ship the client without a second backend team. Same language, native enough for social and marketplace apps.
React NativeExpo
grafana / board — asset pending
Observability
Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana
If we cannot see the spike, we cannot ship the fix. Metrics, traces, and the graph on-call actually opens.

Data
The store matches the access pattern
Spanner when you need global truth. Cassandra and Couchbase for wide writes. Postgres for the ledger. Elasticsearch for search.

Prototyping
Claude Code + Grok Build
Shorten the loop from idea to a running slice. Then we keep the contracts and throw away what should not last.

Approach
Reliable through fast iteration.
See it
Map the load, the failure modes, and the constraint.
Ship it
Short cycles. Visible progress. Production weekly.
Own it
SLOs, runbooks, a system your team can operate.
FAQ
Before the first call.
What do you build?
Distributed systems and processing pipelines — the backends behind AdTech, re-commerce, and social at millions of DAU. Not product UI. Not branding.
Who is this for?
Teams on the path from first version to millions of DAU. If the system will be load-bearing, that is the work.
How do you move?
Short cycles in production. We embed, ship weekly, and leave a system your engineers own. The people who scope the work write the code.
What does an engagement look like?
A short diagnostic, then weeks of shipping — not a six-month black box.

Where is the load.
The system, the spike, the constraint. We reply ourselves.
