Jarmo’s career history. A foundation for our work, not a client list.

Your next big thing.
Our kind of problem.

A focused engineering partner for founders and teams who want to make real progress. We get close to the problem, write the code, and own the details.

01

Build the product.

From the first working prototype to production. Thoughtful interfaces, dependable backends, and AI features that earn their place.

02

Make the hard stuff work.

Data pipelines, cloud platforms, distributed systems. The infrastructure underneath your product should be a strength, not a daily adventure.

AI in the toolkit.
Engineers at
the wheel.

AI changes how software gets built. It doesn’t change who’s responsible for it.

We use AI to explore, prototype, and handle repetitive work. Experienced engineers own the architecture, review the code, and verify the result. The goal is simple: get to useful software sooner.

Jarmo IsotaloJARMO ISOTALO / HELSINKI

Small by choice.
Seasoned by doing.

Led by Jarmo Isotalo. Engineer, technology leader, and someone who still likes getting his hands into the code.

More than a decade building platforms and leading distributed teams. From the early days of ZEIT, now Vercel, to the data infrastructure behind Token Terminal. We bring that experience to the thing you’re building next.

PLATFORMS

From a single region
to a global platform.

One of three founding engineers at ZEIT. Worked on global routing, serverless infrastructure, and the edge layer that helped shape Vercel.

DATA AT SCALE

Infrastructure that
goes the distance.

At Token Terminal, co-designed a data platform managing over 4 PB in BigQuery and helped scale blockchain coverage from 30 to 120+ integrations.

ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP

Good systems.
Good ways of working.

Experience as CTO, VP of Engineering, and COO. A hands-on approach grounded in ownership, clear communication, and sustainable execution.
