The StudioLugano, CH — Working globally, async-first
Built bypeoplewho ship
A small studio that treats software as a craft. Senior people, direct conversations, and products built to be kept.
01Manifesto
We Don’tIterate.We Carve.
Obliq was founded on a single premise: most software agencies ship fast and fix later. We do the opposite. Every system we build is designed as load-bearing structure, ready to carry the weight of the business that stands on it.
We work with founders and product teams who have outgrown templates. They come to us when the architecture matters as much as the interface, and a rebuild in eighteen months is not an acceptable outcome.
Our name is deliberate. Obliq: oblique, angled, non-direct. We come at problems from the side, because the market’s defaults are the reason so much software gets thrown away.
Everything we build, we build ourselves. No offshore handoffs, no code we haven’t read.
02The Team
The people
behind it
A deliberately small team. You talk to the people writing the code, and nobody bills you to learn on the job.
Katarzyna Siebor
Co-Founder — Renewables Engineer
Renewables engineer with more than ten years in the Polish and Swiss solar industries, from farm operations to asset data and energy analytics. She is the domain authority behind our energy platforms: software built on her numbers can be trusted.
03Track Record
Where we’ve
shipped
- 01
Defence & Aerospace
Safety-critical software for regulated environments. We understand DO-178, qualification testing, and what it means to build software lives depend on.
- 02
Healthcare Systems
Clinical platforms and health data infrastructure. HIPAA-aware, HL7-compatible, and built so clinicians can trust what is on screen.
- 03
Banking & Fintech
Transaction engines, compliance workflows, and real-time data pipelines. Every action logged, every state recoverable.
- 04
Renewable Energy
Wind, solar, and grid-scale data. Energy analytics, asset monitoring, and forecasting platforms built by engineers who have worked inside the sector.
04Philosophy
Four
cornerstones
These four principles govern every decision here, from product architecture to email copy. They are constraints we build against, and we like it that way.
01
Monolithic
Integrity
Everything we build is whole. No half-measures, no “we’ll fix it in v2”. Each product ships as one complete, integrated system.
02
Structural
Permanence
We design for longevity. In a market of disposable tools, we build load-bearing walls: software other things can safely stand on.
03
Precision
Over Speed
We reject the cult of velocity. Every feature and every line of code is placed like a mason sets stone. Speed is a byproduct of clarity, not a substitute for it.
04
Oblique
By Design
We don’t attack problems head-on. We approach at an angle, and the name says as much. The change we care about is architectural, not theatrical.
You?
We are occasionally looking for senior engineers and designers who build things right. No recruiters. Send work, not a CV.
