tailored engineering,built to ship.

we started topsweteam in 2015 because we wanted a place that felt like a workshop more than an agency — focused, hands-on, and run by the people who actually write the code. eleven years later that has not changed.

every engagement is run by a senior engineer who stays from the first call to the last deploy. there are no project managers translating between you and the people doing the work. there is no benched team waiting for your project to start.

we work mostly with early-stage founders, research groups, and growing platforms that need senior, tailored engineering — not a thirty-person delivery team.

1. a
   lean by design.

   we run a limited number of concurrent engagements, so each one gets senior attention. it keeps the work close and the calendar honest.
2. b
   senior by default.

   no juniors on client work. the people quoting your project are the people writing it. seven engineers, average eleven years.
3. c
   reliable choices.

   postgres before redis. server-rendered html before another framework. interesting problems deserve unsurprising tools.
4. d
   written, not whispered.

   decisions live in a doc, not a slack thread. weekly demos, weekly written notes, one shared backlog you can read at any time.
5. e
   you own it.

   one git history, transferred clean at the end of the engagement. credentials, infra, docs — handed off, not handed back.

topsweteam is led by egor kopylov (iegit). he runs every engagement directly.
