01
Websites & CMS
Company sites and landing pages that load fast, show up in search and that your team edits without a developer. The front door, done properly.
§ 00 - A technology studio · est. 2026
off the leash · burst of creativity
Engineering
with wings.
We make
magnificent things.
Monarch TCH builds software that balances engineering discipline with the lightness of craft. Three strands - Technology, Creating, History - woven into every product we ship.
A flock of engineers, designers, and strays who fell in love with the tinker. We build weird software on purpose - and ship it anyway.
§ 01 - The three strands
three strands
Three letters. One flight path.
T / 00
T Technology
Technology, broadly. From Postgres queues and typed services to embedded firmware on microcontrollers, desktop and mobile apps, AI-powered systems. Whatever the problem needs - that's what we ship.
We touch metal. We poke microcontrollers. We make AI hallucinate on purpose. The bench is loud and almost always smells like solder.
C / 01
C Creating
The workshop. Prototyping as a habit, not a phase. We sketch in code, test with users on day three, and ship small weekly increments.
Sketch on day zero. Demo on day three. Throwaway prototypes that secretly become the product. The throwaway is the point.
H / 02
H History
The long view. Every decision is documented, reversible, and told as a story - so the team that inherits this code can read it like a letter.
Every project leaves a scar. Every commit gets remembered. Someone will read this at 2am - we want them to smile.
§ 02 - On request
You ask if we can.
We ask when.
Possibility isn't the bottleneck. Time and scope are. Tell us the brief, the deadline, and the budget - we'll come back with a plan, not a maybe.
Tell us when →§ 03 - Below the surface
Simple on the surface.
Serious underneath.
We build the backbone and the front door - APIs, ERPs, schedulers, integrations, and the marketing sites, mobile apps, and dashboards that sit on top of them. Both halves matter. Most clients hire us for the half no one sees.
02
Web apps & SaaS
Customer portals, booking systems and SaaS products, with the backend and API underneath. Where the real money lives, even if no one screenshots it.
03
Mobile & desktop apps
iOS, Android and desktop apps that keep working without signal and talk to scanners, scales and printers.
04
ERP & business software
Stock, orders, invoicing and production in one system shaped around how you actually work. Nothing left to reconcile on Friday.
05
Integrations & automation
Your shop, accounting, bank and courier connected - with retries and monitoring, so nothing gets retyped and nothing gets lost.
06
AI integration
Assistants that answer from your own documents, invoices that read themselves - and a person approving what matters.
07
Embedded & IoT
Firmware and connected sensors, from the circuit board to the alert on your phone. Built to survive the field.
00
Load-bearing
The work that keeps a product up at 3am. Schedulers, queues, migrations, monitoring - the bits no customer ever sees. Less photogenic than a landing page. Far more load-bearing.
All services§ 03·b - The tools on the bench
Programming is the skill. The language is just a tool.
We pick what fits the problem - not what's trendy, not what's familiar. Below, a snapshot of what tends to live on our bench.
Languages
Frameworks
Data
Tools & Infra
Hardware
…and whatever else a project quietly needs. The list shifts every year - that's the point.
§ 04 - Partners & clients
The people we build with.
Most of our work is the backbone of someone else's product - APIs, schedulers, internal tools, the things that don't make good marketing screenshots but quietly run the business. So instead of case studies, here are the teams we currently ship for, in plain text.

§ 05 - How we work
Metamorphosis, not magic. A four-stage cycle we run for every engagement.
Egg
Brief, research, and a written hypothesis. Two weeks, fixed fee.
Larva
Prototypes in the hands of users. We argue with the evidence, not each other.
Pupa
Production build in small, shippable slices. Weekly demos, monthly retros.
Imago
Handover with a runbook, a story, and a future self-maintainable system.
