Founder-market fit

Together, we’ve spent over 12 years solving the toughest problems in computing—from academic labs to enterprise R&D to high-pressure product teams.

We’ve:

• Built cloud platforms from the ground up
• Debugged fragile CI/CD pipelines under fire
• Sat through post-mortems full of preventable failures

Helped engineering teams enforce DevOps rules long before it was productized. We don’t just know the pain—we’ve lived it. And we turned that experience into Warestack: the platform we always needed, but never had.
