Our Team

N. is responsible for managing the business side of things while also being involved heavily in the technical side of the business. (With a background in FPGA-based graph processing they are used to dealing with interconnected systems that that have a lot of things going on simultaneously.)

In their spare time they manage the twitter account of their two cats, and galvanize their co-workers by seamlessly switching between 4 languages.

Aki is a low-level developer with a primary focus on C++ but she is interested in the whole stack, from software to silicon and does hardware design and electrical engineering in her free time. She likes to read way too much manga in her free time, and occasionally streams her projects on twitch.

She also managed to get one of the largest EDA companies in the world to post an image of their equipment with cat ears.
