About
Automation exists to remove cognitive overhead — not replace people.
FOUNDER
I took a nontraditional path into technology. Not a CS degree, not a linear career. Instead, a winding road through different domains — application security, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, full-stack development — always drawn to the places where systems meet human decision-making.
Along the way, I noticed a pattern: talented engineers drowning in cognitive overhead. Brilliant people spending hours on work that should take minutes. Important signals lost in noise. Security reviews that become bottlenecks. Manual triage that never ends.
The problem wasn't a lack of tools. It was a lack of thoughtful automation — the kind that reduces mental load without introducing new risks. The kind that respects constraints while expanding capabilities. The kind that earns trust through safe, incremental progress.
That's what Atypical Tech is built to deliver. Not automation for its own sake, but automation that makes engineering teams think more clearly, act more quickly, and stay safer in the process.
WHY WE EXIST
Engineers are overloaded. Not with work they love, but with work that drains them.
Manual checks that could be automated. Context scattered across a dozen tools. Alerts that cry wolf until nobody listens. Reviews that become rubber stamps because there's no time to do them right.
Atypical Tech exists to change that equation. We build automation that removes the cognitive overhead — the mental load of tracking, triaging, and context-switching — so engineers can focus on the work that actually requires human judgment.
We do this safely, incrementally, and with respect for the constraints that matter. Because automation that breaks things isn't automation. It's just a new problem.
PHILOSOPHY
Outcome First
Start with the result you need. Work backward to the simplest path that gets you there. Technology is a means, not an end.
Context Second
Once the outcome is clear, gather context. Understand constraints, dependencies, and the human systems around the technical ones.
Constraints Before Capabilities
Define what automation should never do before expanding what it can do. Safety comes from clear boundaries, not clever features.
Remove, Reduce, Reveal
First remove unnecessary steps entirely. Then reduce complexity in what remains. Finally, reveal the clearer signals that emerge.
Safety Before Autonomy
Earn trust through safe, incremental automation before expanding scope. Speed without safety isn't speed — it's just risk.
Human-Centered AI
Automation should augment human judgment, not replace it. Keep humans in the loop where it matters. Remove them only from the noise.
Never Break Availability
Automation that threatens uptime isn't worth having. Safety and reliability are non-negotiable.
PROMISE
We reduce the mental load of your workflows without ever putting your systems at risk.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Small Engineering Teams
Teams that need to do more with less. Where every hour saved matters.
Founder-Led Startups
Companies where technical founders understand the value of automation done right.
AppSec Teams
Security groups that need intelligent triage, not just more alerts.
Platform Teams
Teams exploring AI and automation but unwilling to compromise on safety.
In general: any team overwhelmed by manual workflows and ready to automate safely.
