On The Ground
tyku8 is a forward deployed engineering team. We don't hand off specs to a dev shop. We get into the trenches with you. We integrate AI, eliminate cost, replace bloated tooling, and build custom systems from scratch. We own what we ship.
We don't coast. We don't hand off. We don't disappear after the launch email. That's not a promise. It's just how we're built.
The Process
Three steps: map, build, sustain. Each one stands on its own. Stop at any point. Most don't.
Discover & Propose
We map your business, find where AI saves the most time or money, and give you a plain-language plan. No obligation to continue.
Low risk. High clarity. Most clients continue.
Build & Deploy
We take what Discovery revealed and ship it into your actual workflows. We own it through to production.
Real systems. Real workflows. No demos.
Operate & Evolve
Post-deployment isn't the finish line. We stay embedded: iterating on what's live, expanding what's working, and surfacing what's next.
Ongoing relationship. Compounding value.
Book your call
A free 30-minute call. No pitch, no agenda. We'll talk through what you're working on, where the friction is, and whether we're the right fit. If it makes sense to go further, we'll tell you exactly how.
What We Deploy
Not every problem needs AI. Not every solution needs a rewrite. We deploy what fits.
Cost Reduction
Audit your stack and kill the bloat. Infrastructure waste, overpriced SaaS, redundant tooling: we find it and cut it.
Tooling Replacement
Custom-built beats overpriced off-the-shelf. We build exactly what you need and own it end-to-end so you're never held hostage.
Custom Development
Web, mobile, data, infra. Full stack. When off-the-shelf falls short, we build from scratch with no unnecessary complexity.
System Integration
Connect disparate systems into unified, automated workflows. No more duct tape. No more manual data entry between tools.
Utilization Audit
Most teams sit on platforms with untapped potential. We audit what's already deployed, activate dormant features, and wire up everything you're paying for. No new tools required.
Ship & Retain
We maintain, iterate, and stay accountable long after the first deploy. Ownership doesn't end at launch.
The Standard
Not perks. Not principles pinned to a wall. This is how we actually operate.
-
Ruthless Efficiency
We move fast without accumulating debt. Speed and quality are not a tradeoff. Cutting corners is just slower in disguise.
-
Direct Ownership
No handoffs. No middle layers. We own what we build from the first commit to production and beyond.
-
AI-First
We use the tools we build with. AI-augmented engineering is our default workflow, not something we pitch to clients.
-
Location Independent
Remote-first. We work with anyone, anywhere in the world. It shows in how we communicate and deliver.
-
No Bloat
Simple tools, clean code, no unnecessary complexity. Elegance is a feature. Every layer we don't add is a problem we don't have.
The Lab
Products we build for ourselves. Each one a new domain we're learning by doing. Sim racing telemetry, household coordination, computing history. This is how we stay sharp and think broad.
Shared household app for families & roommates. Track deliveries, plan grocery runs, and catch local deals, together.
Launched Jan 2026
A curated journey through the tools, ideas, and philosophies of computing. Past, present, and what's next.
Launched Mar 2026
Sim racing is more than a hobby. What we're building treats it that way.
