Our Genesis

PrimarTech was founded on a simple, frustrating observation: Most "tech" agencies are actually marketing firms in disguise.

The Problem

Enterprises hire expensive agencies to build critical software, only to receive beautiful but broken products. The code was outsourced. The architecture was non-existent.

The Solution

We built PrimarTech to be the antidote. A global Engineering Firm owned and operated by engineers. We build the sophisticated systems that run your business at scale.

❌ AGENCY APPROACH
// WordPress template
function custom_theme() {
// Proprietary lock-in
// Slow performance
// No ownership
}
VS
✅ ENGINEERING APPROACH
// Next.js + TypeScript
export default function App() {
// Open standards
// 98+ performance
// You own the code
}

Fig 1.1: The Engineering Difference

The Manifesto of Engineering Excellence

We operate with a philosophy we call Precision-First Engineering. It is not just about writing code that works; it is about writing code that lasts.

1. Precision over Speed

In the high-stakes world of enterprise software, speed is often a proxy for sloppiness. "Move fast and break things" is fine for a social media startup; it is catastrophic for a fintech platform handling millions in transactions or a healthcare system managing patient data.

At PrimarTech, we reject the cult of speed. We practice Slow Thinking, Fast Execution.

• Architectural Forethought: We do not write a single line of code until the data model is normalized, the API contracts are defined (using OpenAPI/Swagger), and the failure modes are mapped.

• Formal Verification: For critical components, we employ formal verification methods to mathematically prove the correctness of our logic.

• The Cost of Speed: We understand that a bug found in production costs 100x more to fix than a bug found in design. By investing heavily in the "Measure" phase, we actually deliver the "Cut" phase faster and with fewer regressions than "Agile" teams that sprint into technical debt.

2. Zero Technical Debt

Technical debt is the silent killer of enterprise velocity. It accumulates when agencies take shortcuts to meet arbitrary deadlines - hardcoding values, skipping tests, ignoring type safety.

We treat code quality as a non-negotiable asset, akin to financial solvency.

• Strict Typing: We do not use any any in TypeScript. We leverage the full power of the type system to catch errors at compile time.

• Immutable Infrastructure: We capture our infrastructure as code (Terraform/Pulumi). We do not manually configure servers. If a server drifts, we destroy it and provision a new one.

• Refactoring as a Ritual: We dedicate 20% of every sprint to refactoring. We do not ask for permission to clean up code; it is part of the job description. If a feature cannot be built correctly in the time loop, we prioritize durability over the deadline. We would rather miss a date than ship a liability.

3. Transparency by Default

Most agencies treat their development process as a black box to hide their inefficiencies. They sell you a "Project Manager" whose job is to shield the developers from you (and you from the truth).

We invert this model.

• Direct Access: You have direct access to our Jira, Slack, and GitHub repositories. You see the commits as they happen. You see the build failures. You see the debates in the pull request comments.

• No "Middlemen": You talk to the engineers who are building your system. If you have a question about the database schema, you don't ask an Account Manager; you ask the Backend Lead.

• Honest Status: We do not sugarcoat technical challenges. If an API integration is more complex than anticipated, we tell you immediately, explain the trade-offs, and propose solutions. We treat you like a partner, not a client.

4. Senior Talent Only

The agency model is built on leverage: sell the expert, staff the junior. You pay senior rates for a 22-year-old recent graduate learning on your dime.

PrimarTech breaks this model.

• The 7-Year Rule: Every engineer at PrimarTech has at least 7 years of production experience in high-scale environments. We do not hire juniors. We do not have interns.

• Polyglot Masters: Our engineers are not just "React Developers." They are computer scientists who understand memory management, database locking strategies, and network protocols. They can debug a slow SQL query as easily as a CSS layout.

• Ownership: Because we don't have juniors to delegate to, every engineer owns their code from design to deployment. There is no "throwing it over the wall." If it breaks at 3 AM, the person who wrote it wakes up. This creates a powerful incentive to write unbreakable code.

Infrastructure & Security Layer

PrimarTech is not just a collection of laptops. We operate on a unified, zero-trust infrastructure designed to mirror the security posture of the enterprise clients we serve. We build software for regulated industries where security is a non-negotiable feature.

1. IAM

  • SSO Everywhere: We enforce Google Workspace SSO with hardware MFA (YubiKey) for all critical systems (GitHub, AWS, Linear, Slack).
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access to client repositories is granted on a "Need-to-Know" basis. A frontend developer does not get read/write access to the production database unless explicitly scoped.
  • Offboarding Protocol: When an engagement ends or an employee leaves, a single "Kill Switch" command revokes access across all 40+ SaaS tools in our stack within 60 seconds.

2. Endpoint Security

  • MDM (Mobile Device Management): All PrimarTech workstations are managed via Jamf/Kandji. We enforce disk encryption (FileVault), OS patch levels, and EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) agents.
  • DLP (Data Loss Prevention): We monitor for unauthorized egress of sensitive data. Source code never leaves our secure perimeter.
  • Compliance Preparedness: We build software for regulated industries (Fintech, Medtech). Our internal processes are designed to be SOC 2 Type II ready.

3. Network & Connectivity

  • Mesh VPN: We utilize Tailscale/WireGuard to create a secure mesh overlay network. Our engineers do not access internal tools over the public internet.
  • Static IPs: For clients requiring IP whitelisting, all traffic from PrimarTech originates from a dedicated, static NAT gateway, ensuring you know exactly who is hitting your firewall.
  • Vendor Risk Management: We strictly vet our own supply chain. We do not use unverified 3rd-party libraries (npm/pip) without a security scan (Snyk/Dependabot).

Audit Trails

Every commit, every deployment, and every infrastructure change is logged and immutable.

Engineering Anti-Fragility

The "Game Day" Protocol

We believe that hope is not a strategy. Systems fail. Clouds have outages. APIs timeout. The difference between a fragile system and a robust one is how it handles failure. We regularly simulate extensive failures through our "Game Day" Protocol:

01

Chaos Engineering

We intentionally introduce latency, drop packets, and kill pods in our staging environments to ensure our circuit breakers trip correctly and our retry logic kicks in.

02

Database Failover drills

We simulate primary database loss to verify that our replicas promote instantly and our applications reconnect without data loss.

03

Disaster Recovery (DR) Audits

We verify that we can restore our entire infrastructure from cold backups in a different AWS region within our defined RTO (Recovery Time Objective).

We build "Anti-Fragile" systems that get stronger under stress, ensuring your business continuity is never left to chance.

Our Engineering Culture

Culture is what happens when nobody is watching. At PrimarTech, our culture is defined by Continuous Excellence.

Peer Review Mandate

The Review Process

Every line of code written by a PrimarTech engineer is reviewed by at least two other senior architects. This ensures that no single person's blind spots become your system's vulnerabilities. We use automated linting, static analysis, and security scanning to catch 90% of issues before a human even looks at the code.

Reliability

The "Game Day" Protocol

We believe that hope is not a strategy. We regularly simulate extensive failures: database outages, API crashes, traffic spikes: to ensure our systems (and our people) know how to recover. We build "Anti-Fragile" systems that get stronger under stress.
