Software built from first principles — with AI as one of them.
Ixiom is an independent development and research studio. We design and ship production systems, and study how building them is changing.
AI is a material, not a feature.
We design assuming the model is a capable collaborator, then engineer carefully for the places it isn't.
Research and delivery share a desk.
What we learn shipping real systems feeds back into how we build the next one. Neither runs ahead of the other for long.
Small and deep.
One team holding the full context, end to end — from architecture down to the last edge case. No handoffs to lose the thread.
Novel where it pays, boring everywhere else.
New capability at the core; conventional, durable engineering around it. The interesting part should be the only surprising part.
Build
Production software and infrastructure — backends, agentic tooling, and the unglamorous systems that have to stay up.
Research
Applied work on how AI reshapes the way software gets designed, built, and operated — written down, and put to use.
Selective about new work and collaborations. If there's a fit, reach out directly.
