Why we built IAN
We've spent 30+ years combined inside cloud infrastructure — as Solutions Architects, platform leads, and engineering heads at companies from Microsoft Azure to Michelin, Globant, Ipsy, and as CTO of venture-backed startups. The same pattern repeated everywhere: the people who could be building product were instead running cost reviews, chasing security drift, babysitting deployments, and triaging incidents that a dashboard flagged three hours late.
Infrastructure is the base for everything a company ships. When the platform team is underwater, product velocity drops, bills explode, and compliance quietly rots. The industry tried to fix it by selling better dashboards. That doesn't reduce the labor bill — it just improves the view of the problem. In 2026 agents can actually do the work. So we built the platform — and we run it as a service.
IAN is a senior cloud team. Each customer gets a named engineer running their AWS, driving five specialist agents, a live ops dashboard, Mermaid reports, and an immutable audit trail. You don't manage agents — you open tickets in chat, your engineer picks them up, and you watch progress in the dashboard. We're not outsiders disrupting DevOps. We're the people who've been doing the work, now with a force-multiplier behind us.
