A software engineering studio. Systems, integrations and AI. Hard problems, effective solutions, no compromises.
Low-level work where the host hardware matters. Rust, C, Go. Distributed systems whose correctness has to survive partitions. We design for the bad day, not the demo.
The unglamorous, load-bearing middle. FFI between Rust and Swift. A Python SDK that has to ship on Windows ARM. Two services authored a decade apart that now need a shared event bus.
Production AI infrastructure: agentic systems with real failure modes, RAG that respects the corpus it sits on, evals that survive the next model release. We build the pieces that stay valuable when the foundation model changes.
We don't do retainers, time-and-materials, or open-ended advisory. Each engagement is a deliberate three-month contract with a single shape, a single price, and a single deliverable — built, tested, validated, and handed off clean.
Three months, fixed scope, weekly review. Long enough to ship something real; short enough to stay accountable to it.
Single fee per engagement. Quoted before kickoff. We bill for outcomes, not seats.
The opening weeks are for the hard tradeoff conversation. The rest is for executing the answer.
Not done until it's tested, validated against the real workload, and handed off with docs, a test suite, and a walkthrough.
One platform for all your accounting and tax.
Automates GST compliance and accounting end to end for Indian businesses — reconciles GSTR-2B against your books, reads invoices straight from PDFs with OCR, and connects to the GST portal and Tally directly. Less manual entry, fewer missed input-tax credits, books that stay filing-ready.
More garments from every roll of fabric.
An advanced nesting algorithm that arranges garment pieces for cutting at state-of-the-art density — typically 1%+ better material utilization than the tools cutting rooms run today. Fabric is the biggest line on the bill, so every extra percent of a roll is margin recovered on every order.
Real-time visibility into how teams work.
An employee-productivity platform that shows managers app and website usage, screenshots, and analytics as they happen. We rebuilt it on a Rust backend that serves more clients on less hardware — with faster dashboards and stronger security than the system it replaced.
From backtest to live — on the same code.
An algorithmic trading platform where the strategy you backtest is the exact code that goes to market — no rewrite, no drift. A high-performance core processes market events at nanosecond resolution, so quant teams move from research to production with confidence.
Pick Three is a one-person senior studio. Not an agency, not a body shop. The engineer who scopes your problem is the same engineer who writes the code that ships under the studio's name.
Based in Bangalore, working with clients across three time zones. Happy to sign an NDA after the first conversation — not before.
B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science. Previously at AWS and Microsoft. Works across all three disciplines — the systems, the integrations, and the AI infrastructure that ship under the studio's name.
If the work is genuinely in one of our three disciplines, send the shortest possible description of the problem. No deck. No NDA on first contact. We'll reply within two working days with either a tradeoff question or a polite no.
