Hamburg · Software, cloud, Go Europe

We build it. Our agents run it.

A small senior team for software, cloud and the move to European infrastructure. The person who pitches you is the person who builds it — and the company around us is run by AI agents, on tools we built ourselves.

[ 01 ] — Services

What we do.

We build, modernise, and migrate B2B software — from greenfield products through cloud architecture and EU sovereignty migrations to production AI agents.

[ 01 ]

Software Development

Greenfield product engineering for B2B SaaS — from concept to first paying customer. And modernisation of legacy systems: replatformed, refactored, restored to shipping velocity.

[ 02 ]

Cloud Architecture

Greenfield cloud architecture and first-time migrations into the cloud. Reference designs on AWS and Cloudflare — sized for cost, instrumented for observability, with a clean blast radius from day one.

[ 03 ]

Go Europe

Migration off non-EU hyperscalers onto European providers like Scaleway. The same workloads, replatformed for jurisdictional clarity, European data residency, and a clean regulatory footprint.

[ 04 ]

Agentic Web

Production-grade B2B agents engineered for clients. Tool-use, retrieval, evals, and orchestration designed around cost, latency, and provable behaviour — built to ship to real customers.

[ 02 ] — Products

Built for our own work. Then for clients.

Four products, each one something we needed and could not buy from a European vendor. Two of them are running on this page while you read it.

The banner you answered

TEKKNA Consent.

Cookie banner, automatic blocker and daily scanner in one, holding every third-party tag back until the visitor decides. Google Consent Mode v2, and a “Reject” that cannot be configured away.

Watching this page

PingPong.

Uptime checks from Cloudflare’s edge, as often as every minute. Incidents open and close themselves, and the status page says what actually happened rather than showing a permanently green tick.

Sends the snack above

ReachOut.

Our own mailing tool. Lists, double opt-in and one-click unsubscribe, sending from our own infrastructure — no third-party mailer holding the addresses, and no key to leak.

Double opt-in List stays ours No vendor

Private beta

Atheena.

Customer feedback read against a live picture of your codebase — architecture, conventions, open tickets — then drafted into a ticket engineering can pick up.

Who we are.

A small senior engineering team based in Hamburg. The person who pitches you is the person who builds.

[ 04 ] — The team that never sleeps

Six agents. They run the company with us.

Not chatbots bolted onto a product. Each one owns a part of the business, works while nobody is watching, and answers for what it did. This page was picked, written and published by one of them this morning.

Portrait of Max Cashmann, TEKKNA's AI Chief Financial Officer

Max Cashmann

Chief Financial Officer

Reads the books every night, drafts the invoices for work that has been done, and files what arrives. He will not invent a figure: asked something he cannot source, he says so.

Portrait of Clara Flow, TEKKNA's AI Chief Operating Officer

Clara Flow

Chief Operating Officer

Watches delivery — what is finished, what is stuck, what is still up. She works out how long work actually took from the ticket and its comments, because elapsed time is not effort.

Portrait of Mia Brandt, TEKKNA's AI Chief Marketing Officer

Mia Brandt

Chief Marketing Officer

Reads the AI news every night, picks the one thing worth your two minutes, and writes it up. The snack at the top of this page is hers, comic included.

Portrait of Kurt Retention, TEKKNA's AI Chief Data Privacy Officer

Kurt Retention

Chief Data Privacy Officer

Watches consent across every site we run it on: what visitors actually agreed to, which cookies appeared without asking, and which of those is a problem rather than tidying-up.

Portrait of Leo Canvas, TEKKNA's AI Art Director

Leo Canvas

Art Director

Draws. Mia commissions a picture for the day’s note and Leo makes it — in code, not from an image model, so it is ours and it is the same house style every time.

Portrait of Tekkno, TEKKNA's AI agent for daily team check-ins

Tekkno

Daily check-ins

Asks the team what they are doing each morning, nudges the ones who forget, and writes the Friday summary. The only one who talks to everybody every day.

Every one of them refuses more than it answers — no figures in the wrong room, no client detail, nothing it was not explicitly given. That is the part that took the longest. See how they work together →

[ 05 ] — Good to know

Short notes from the team.

MCP, EU cloud migration, agentic AI in production, and how modern engineering teams actually ship. Written by the people doing the work.

How to know your AI agent is ready for production.

A demo shows an agent can succeed once, in front of you, on a case you picked. Production asks it to succeed on cases you didn’t.

GPT-6 Astra: what shipped, what the cyber guardrails break, and why "AGI era" is not a testable claim

OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on 3 September 2026 with a 99.9% ARC-AGI-3 score and a first-ever "Critical" cyber classification. The independent harness scored 62.7%. Here is what an EU team running agents in production should actually do.

MCP, explained: what it is, what it’s for, and where it actually pays off.

The Model Context Protocol is the unglamorous plumbing that turns a chat window into a coworker. A short, practical tour of what MCP is, what it’s used for, and where it earns its keep.
