Protected and built in the open

How a one-person company guards its network in layers, and how its software earns its way to production.

How it is protected

Eight layers, each assuming the one in front of it failed: one front door, admin tools hidden, one login, a zero-trust mesh, filtered DNS and versioned backups.

See the layers

How software gets built

Local AI drafts, checks and human review in a ten-stage pipeline, with the numbers measured per task.

Our product

The Kreative Kompas Engine

A modular, open-source Vulkan game engine in C++17 with Lua scripting. It runs on a single core with no GPU and scales up from there. MIT licensed, developed in the open.

About the engine engine.kreative-kompas.com

Let's build something

Backend systems, a webshop, a self-hosted office, a game or a stream. If it can run on open source, we can build it and run it.
