Engineering Principles

Local-first

Run close to your data. On your device or in your environment.

Privacy-first

Your data stays yours. Systems are designed around that constraint.

Production Quality

Testing, observability, reliability and maintainability from day one.

Agentic Engineering

AI agents accelerate engineering while humans retain judgment and accountability.
