About · Who We Are
A studio built by engineers who got tired of agencies.
PrimeByteLabs is a senior-only engineering studio working with founders, operators, and CTOs who refuse to lose a quarter. We provide elite custom software development, dedicated applied AI & LLM engineering, and scalable cloud platform engineering.
The Team
The people you'll actually work with.
> No account managers. No coordinators. You work directly with the founders on every engagement.
[ Co-Founder · Engineering ]
Adrian Chen
12 years building production systems across payments, logistics, and high-scale APIs. Leads delivery, engineering culture, and all client technical relationships.
[ Co-Founder · AI & Data ]
Marcus Vance
Built ML pipelines and data products at venture-backed startups before going independent. Owns the AI practice, applied research, and model evaluation frameworks.
[ Co-Founder · Design & Strategy ]
Ryan Miller
Product designer turned operator. Leads discovery workshops, brand, and the client experience. Keeps the team honest on what's actually useful to ship.
Why We Exist
["We exist to make senior engineering capacity a predictable utility. No agency bloat, no learning on your dime."
[ No bloat ]
We staff leanly. Every person on your project has a reason to be there.
[ Genuine ownership ]
Our founders are on every engagement. There's no junior team behind the scenes.
[ Long-term alignment ]
We charge fairly and aim for long-term partnerships, not one-off projects.
Operating Principles
Six rules that decide every call we make.
Senior or nothing
No staff augmentation. Every contributor has shipped production systems at scale before joining us.
Demos over decks
Working software on staging from day one. No status presentations, no quarterly reviews, no slide decks.
Boring is a feature
We choose proven technology where it wins. Novelty earns its place only when the evidence is clear.
Own the outcome
Our success metric is your KPI, not our invoice count. We measure ourselves on shipped impact.
IP stays with you
Full source code, IP assignment, and handover documentation delivered at every project milestone.
Radical transparency
Open burn-up charts, live changelogs, and published pricing. No surprises. No hidden scope.
Engagement Model
We embed. We don't consult.
The difference between embedded engineering and consulting is accountability. When we work on your product, we are your team - delivering high-agency software engineering and data engineering sprints alongside your staff.
Every project has one named lead engineer who is personally accountable for delivery. You always know who to call.
[ Protocol ]
Named lead on every project
> One accountable engineer - not a rotating roster of faces.
Two-week delivery sprints
> Working software on staging every other Friday, without exception.
Open access to your codebase
> You own the repository. No gatekeeping, no vendor hostage-taking.
Async-first communication
> Structured Slack updates and changelogs - not meeting-heavy check-ins.
[ Stack & Standards ]
Battle-tested technology chosen for correctness.
