# Kaska

Independent engineering practice for agentic systems, production software, and
AI-native ways of building.

Kaska designs agentic systems and ships production software for teams working at
the frontier. AI-native from the first commit, and held to the standard that word
implies.

## Practice

### Agentic Systems

Language-model products that hold up in production: agents, tool use, retrieval,
and the evaluation harnesses that keep them honest.

### Product Engineering

Full-stack applications and data platforms, designed end to end and shipped. The
craft has not changed; the leverage has.

### Engineering Leadership

Fractional leadership and AI adoption done seriously: new ways of building,
measured outcomes, and a team that keeps the gains.

## Proof

Kaska has run independently since 2016. Its most visible work is the platform
behind most public avalanche forecasting in the United States, built with
Snowbound Solutions. People check this work before deciding whether a slope is
safe. That is the bar everything here is held to.

- 22/24 US avalanche centers publish daily forecasts on this infrastructure.
- 435,000 people rely on those forecasts each season to decide where to travel.
- 99%+ uptime held through storm cycles, when traffic peaks with the hazard.

The decade behind it: enterprise SaaS scaled from engineer #2 through
acquisition, remote IoT infrastructure, financial data systems, and agentic
products that made it to production.

## Principles

- Evals over vibes. If it is not measured, it is not done.
- Boring infrastructure, novel products.
- Small teams with sharp tools beat large teams with process.
- Working software over slideware. We ship, then refine.
- Leave every codebase, and every team, stronger than we found it.
