OUR PHILOSOPHY
Risk is
Expensive.
The true cost of a bad hire isn't the salary. It's the architecture they break, the technical debt they compound, and the momentum they kill.
The "Paper Architect" Problem
Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP) have become a memorization game. Candidates use "exam dumps" to pass without ever touching a production console.
When you hire them, they know the definition of Auto-Scaling, but they don't know how to debug a split-brain scenario in your database.
"We hired a Senior Architect who had 5 certifications. He took down production on Day 3 because he didn't understand Security Group egress rules."

Our First Principles
We believe that engineering is about trade-offs, not tools.
We Reject
- Resume-driven architecture
- Trivia-based interviews
- Certificate hoarding
- Whiteboard perfectionism
We Value
- Evidence over claims
- Debugging over design patterns
- Cost-conscious architecture
- Communicating trade-offs
How do we enforce this standard?
