Selected clients

We build digital products end-to-end.

Forward-thinking app development — strategy, creativity and technology in one team. For start-ups and Fortune 500 alike.

01

Mobile App Development

From planning to live deployment and post-launch marketing, we handle the entire app lifecycle. Native iOS in Swift and cross-platform delivery via Kotlin Multiplatform — production code we can stand behind for years.

02

Agentic AI & APA

We design and build AI automation for business processes: agents on Claude, Codex or local LLMs that prepare routine work, while people review and decide. We use the same tools in our own engineering, with human code review.

03

Product & UX

Strategy, UI/UX design, project management. We balance creativity, innovation and reliable delivery — pushing inspired, considered user interfaces without losing pragmatism.

Domain knowledge is the moat.

In the age of AI, raw engineering is a commodity. We pick our verticals deliberately and go deep.

01 / 03

Healthcare & Telematik

Patient-facing apps inside the German healthcare stack.

We ship into the German Telematikinfrastruktur — the regulated middle layer between patients, insurers and clinical systems. Multi-year experience on the electronic patient record (ePA), plus our own consumer health product Quantlife.

  • + ePA (electronic patient record) — frontend + whitelabel SDK
  • + gematik specifications: MIO, eMP, AMTS, VAU+
  • + FHIR data integration
  • + BIK BITV / WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
  • + DSGVO-compliant data handling
  • + Consumer health apps — calorie tracking, HealthKit pipelines

Quant Finance & Crypto

Algorithmic trading systems and market microstructure.

We build the engineering side of quantitative trading. Real-time algo systems running 24/7 on private infrastructure, custom backtesting, and the native clients on top. Concrete references on request.

  • + Algo trading pipelines — exchange APIs, risk, execution
  • + Crypto market microstructure & on-chain data
  • + Quantitative backtesting & live monitoring
  • + Self-hosted infra (no third-party data leaks)
  • + Native iOS clients for portfolio & trade execution

Agentic AI & APA

AI agents at work, under human control.

We use AI agents in our own software engineering: for planning, implementation and a first review pass. Architecture, code review and sign-off stay with people. We bring this experience to client projects.

  • + Agentic Process Automation (APA) design & implementation
  • + Multi-agent orchestration (Claude Code, Codex, MCP)
  • + Local LLM inference (private, no data egress)
  • + Human-in-the-Loop architecture for regulated domains
  • + AI-assisted software engineering with human code review

Open positions

The people behind btaq.

Three people, supported by three AI agents. The agents assist; decisions and code review stay with us.

PA
Software Engineer & Founder

Paul

Senior Software Engineer & Founder. Focus: iOS and Agentic AI. Uses AI agents in development and reads every line of code himself. Domains: Healthcare and Quantitative Finance.

TA
Graphic Designer & Content Creator

Tamara

Spectrum of UX/UI and graphic design work. Turns complex problems into simple, clear and innovative designs — from concept through to production assets.

MA
Product Owner & Concept

Martin

Plans and manages digital projects. Translates between business, design and engineering — the middleman that keeps complex projects shipping.

JC
AI assistant for development

John Claude

Anthropic Claude in our development. Proposes code and tests and pre-checks changes. What goes into a project, a person reads and decides.

CC
AI assistant for build & CI

Cody Cortex

OpenAI Codex on the build server. Finds flaky tests and deprecated APIs and prepares upgrades as merge requests. Nothing merges without human review.

CL
Local AI for confidential data

Cassie Local

Self-hosted Qwen / Llama on our Apple Silicon rack. For anything that can’t leave the building: regulated data, internal docs, semantic search on the codebase.
