AI for human thriving.
Helping companies bring AI into hybrid teams, so people and AI work side by side on what matters.
AI for good means value-aligned partners, in any sector.
The two hands
Two practitioners bringing two full careers to every engagement. Engineering, computer science, and AI on one side; operations, strategy, team building, and turnaround on the other. We use AI both ways: to sharpen how teams work, and to build the tools that change what they can do.
Co‑founder · Operations
Fifteen years running operations in places where things don't run easily: crisis response with Tearfund, Medair, and Samaritan's Purse in DRC and CAR; rural utilities in Rwanda as Director of Utilities at Empowering Villages and COO at East African Power; foundation leadership at Kinvest Impact Foundation. Strategy, business operations, team building, turnaround. Nat's the hand on the operations: where systems meet people, and have to hold up.
Co‑founder · Engineering
Twenty years of building software, the last several spent designing AI agents that act on the world: founding engineer of SIKU at Arctic Eider Society, still shipping there; CIO at Cryptech through the blockchain years; co-founder of Air Code Design before that. Fractional CTO, AI engineer, full‑stack architect. Mat's the hand on the keyboard, turning the messy reality of a business into systems that are quietly, reliably useful.
AI is the productivity tool of our lifetime: a chance to bring the best of technology to bear on the best of what humans want to build. We don't empower AI. AI empowers humans.
What we do
We take on engagements where AI isn't bolted on, it's how the thing is built. Small team, so you talk to both partners. Senior enough that you don't need anyone else.
Agents, automations, and tooling that survive contact with your real workflow, not a demo.
Fractional CTO and CEO, plus advisory for teams scaling something that matters.
Translating frontier tools into measurable outcomes for mission-driven orgs and emerging-market builders, including the messy ones.
Get in touch
Short engagements, long ones, or just a conversation about whether AI is the right answer. We read every email.
