One founder. Years in high-pressure operations. Systems that had to work—or people suffered.
Katalys emerged from that experience—built to illuminate paths still walked in darkness.
Built in real operations. Hardened under pressure.
Built systems under pressure. Where downtime cost too much. Where errors cascaded. Where human vigilance was the single point of failure.
Watched brilliant people trapped in reactive loops. Firefighting instead of building. Chasing data failures. Exhausted by systems meant to free them.
Had to engineer a better path.
Discipline over hype. Clarity over complexity. Freedom through engineering.
We don't scatter AI everywhere. Intelligence only where complexity demands it. Logic and pipelines handle the rest with reliability.
Systems that anticipate failure. Self-repair before cascades begin. Built with operational reality in mind—not idealized scenarios.
Every action logged. Every decision explained. No black boxes. Operational clarity requires complete visibility.
Autonomous where appropriate. Consulting humans on critical decisions. Freedom through collaboration—not replacement.
I build for those still trapped in operational darkness. Small teams carrying systems on their backs. Teams that deserve to rise.
This work isn't about hype. It's about engineering discipline applied to real friction. Systems built by hand—that observe, correct, and evolve.
From chaos to clarity. Friction to flow. Darkness to freedom.
