Websites, AI agents, automation, CI/CD, and cloud migrations — built by senior engineers, billed against real scope, shipped in weeks.
First call is free. Pricing is negotiated, not listed.
Fast, opinionated, no template smell. Built in SvelteKit / Next.js / Astro depending on what you actually need. Animated by people who can name three Lusion projects without checking.
Not a wrapper around a chat box. Real tool calls, real evals, real cost ceilings, real fallbacks for when the model goes sideways. We will write you the eval suite before we write you the agent.
Internal flows, ops glue, document pipelines, integrations between the seven SaaS tools your finance team copy-pastes between. The result is a smaller process map and a happier team.
Tests, gates, environments, rollbacks, preview deploys, feature flags. The whole apparatus, set up the way the team that built it would set it up for themselves.
Lift, refactor, or rebuild — chosen against your roadmap and your bill. We have led this 500+ times across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Cloud-first by default; we pick the architecture your business actually needs.
An open-weight engineering model. Lightweight, easy to carry, cloud-first by default.
Same seniors. Different stack height. All pricing negotiated against actual scope.
One coaster. One job. Done beautifully.
A single senior, scoped engagement, fixed deliverable. Best for one well-defined problem you want gone.
Twice the cork. Twice the commitment. Still effortless.
A pair: lead + specialist. For work that needs two different brains in the room.
Three layers of confidence. For work slightly above it all.
A war-room: lead, specialist, platform engineer. For migrations, rebuilds, and "we have to ship this in six weeks" situations.
No bronze. No silver. No gold. We charge against the work, not against the hierarchy of a metals-themed pricing table.
No account managers. No discovery dance. The senior who will write the code is on the first call.
We size the work against your actual problem and your actual budget. No tiers. No bronze/silver/gold.
Small bench, deep specialists. You get the engineer the problem deserves — not whoever is on the bench this quarter.
Working software, documented hand-off, optional retainer. We are not trying to live inside your company but are more than happy to train your staff.
Names changed because lawyers exist. Quotes lightly edited because nobody actually talks like Steve Jobs.
“They told me the deadline on day one and they hit it. The previous agency told me four different deadlines and missed all of them.”
“Asked for a website. Got a website. Did not get a 47-page deck. Did not get a "creative discovery workshop". Refreshing.”
“My old agency had nine people on the kickoff call. Two of them were "client success". WTF brought one engineer. He had read our codebase.”
“They picked the cloud, the plan, and the migration path before they picked our budget. Saved us roughly the price of a small house. I sent them a fruit basket. They sent it back.”
“I tried to expand the scope mid-project. They said "no, that’s a different scope, here is what that would cost." I had never heard those words from an agency.”
“They left. They actually left. They did not try to become my full-time CTO. They did not propose a retainer. They sent the documentation and went.”
We present WTF‑1, an open-weight engineering studio for shipping software, AI agents, automation, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud migrations under everyday business conditions. WTF‑1 faithfully reproduces key delivery behaviours — working code, documented hand-off, and honest weekly progress — without the hallucinated headcount typical of contemporary agency releases. Released under negotiated-license terms (free first call, pricing per scope). Limitations include heavy dependency on senior engineers, coffee, and clients who have actually read the requirements.
This studio was single-shot espresso’d into existence by senior engineers who got tired of writing the same spec doc twice.

}One field at a time. We read everything. A senior replies within 24 hours — not a form-letter, not a calendar link.
