Fields
The fields the products are built in.
Not a menu of services. Four disciplines, the work we actually do inside each, and the technologies behind the products and the research — so you can see what the company is fluent in.
Systems & Software ArchitectureDistributed systems designed to survive contact with production — and with the next five years of change.Distributed-system boundaries and contracts · Event-driven and streaming systems · API design, versioning and compatibilityEmbedded Systems & FirmwareFirmware and embedded Linux for products that ship, run unattended for years, and update safely in the field.Board bring-up and hardware/software integration · Bare-metal and RTOS firmware development · Embedded Linux BSPs, Yocto layers and kernel driversNetworking, Datacom & TelecomCarrier and data-centre networking from the packet up — control plane, data plane, and the software that operates both.Routing, forwarding and convergence · Data-centre, campus and carrier-edge network design · Data-plane implementation and packet processingPlatform, DevOps & ReliabilityThe delivery path and the runtime beneath it — automated, observable, reproducible, and boring in the best sense.Kubernetes platform design and hardening · GitOps delivery pipelines and progressive rollout · Infrastructure as code and environment reproducibility

The tools, in full
Listed because a reader should be able to check. If something is on this list it is in the products or the research. If it is missing, that absence is information, not a gap we will offer to fill.

The fields are how the work is organised.
A product usually sits in more than one of them. The work pages say which, and the notes say what the research turned up.
