About Us
We're the team you call when you need to launch fast and build right
The name comes from the ship that carried Jason and the Argonauts. We liked that it was purpose-built for one hard journey and crewed by people who knew what they were doing.
The Team
Meet the Founders
Zander Janse van Rensburg
Co-Founder
Zander works on cloud architecture and DevOps, mostly automation and infrastructure as code. His half of the job is making sure the systems your team inherits are ones they can actually run.
Jaco Venter
Co-Founder
Jaco works on software architecture and custom development. His focus is designs that stay understandable once the people who wrote them have moved on.
Our Approach
The Goal Is a Team
That Doesn't Need Us
Every engagement is designed to leave your team more capable than when we started. If we've done it right, you stop calling.
We Build Foundations
The infrastructure, the patterns, the pipelines: all of it is yours to keep and extend.
We Choose Boring Technology
The newest framework is usually the most enjoyable one to work with and the worst one to inherit. We recommend what we've seen hold up.
We Communicate Clearly
We explain technical decisions in terms the whole team can follow, and we say when we're unsure.
We Focus on Outcomes
Code is a means to an end. We'd rather ask what the business needs to happen than what the ticket says.
How We Work
How an Engagement Runs
We work on focused engagements with a defined end point.
Discovery
We work out what you're trying to achieve and what's in the way, before anyone writes code.
Delivery
We build with your team involved throughout, so nothing about the result arrives as a surprise.
Handover
Documentation, training, and enough time with your developers that they can maintain what we built.
