How we got here.
Looked like a Tableau gig in 2015. Underneath, it was already fullstack engineering with AI awareness baked in. A decade later, those instincts ship as our own products.
- 2015
Started up — Tableau and fullstack
First gig was Nielsen. Tableau dashboards, server admin, analyst training — and from day one, fullstack work ran alongside it. The two sides never really separated.
- 2017
Expanded into data engineering
The recurring pattern: fix the warehouse, fix the dashboards. We added pipeline, modeling, and ETL work to the menu. dbt adoption starts here.
- 2018
Started building Canopys
After shipping the same scheduler-shaped tool inside multiple engagements, we started building Canopys as a standalone product — recurring jobs, chained dependencies, failure alerting. First step toward a real product portfolio.
- 2019
ExxonMobil onsite engagement
Multi-year onsite engagement at ExxonMobil — streaming environmental and property-safety data at scale, full-stack engineering leadership, executive dashboards across 80+ campuses. The engagement that defined how we run large enterprise programs.
- 2020
Remote-first by force, then by choice
Pandemic kicked us fully remote. We kept it. Austin HQ stays for collab days and field work; day-to-day work is async, documented, and globally timezone-aware.
- 2022
Migrated to fullstack custom apps
SaaS is slowly decaying — bloated, locked-in, priced to seat counts no one signed up for. Folks wanted their own apps on their own infra, doing exactly what they need. We leaned into the React/Node/TypeScript side and made it the main thing.
- 2024
Launched Trilex AI
Released Trilex publicly — business-context-aware autonomous agents with human checkpoints. The first of our products to leave internal use and reach customers.
- 2025
Launched ET1
Released ET1 — visual DAG ETL for async pipelines, transforms, joins, and production data outputs. Productized the pattern we had been hand-rolling inside engagements for years.
- 2026
Yee, gato.to, and Relay
A product-release year. Yee for offline LLM coding inside compliance boundaries, gato.to for collaborative custom-platform delivery, and Relay for API-first team messaging you self-host. The consulting → products pivot is now the main story.
