Arkynate your IT Operations.
Arky answers questions about your estate from your own systems of record — Jira, Confluence, your repos and cloud accounts — and cites what it read. It will also clone a repository, build it in a sandbox, and run the application on your own machine once you say yes. When a request would change something, it stops: the person who asked confirms, or a second person approves. Production is always the second signature.
Built by Arkynate Labs, a systems engineering studio in Manila and Tokyo. Below: the tools, the games, and the work.
Capabilities
Systems Architecture
Distributed systems, event-driven design, multi-tenant SaaS, and enterprise integration — built to stay correct and available under real load.
Data & Integration
CDC pipelines, zero-downtime migrations, legacy bridges, and SOAP/REST adapter layers — scoped against outcomes, shipped with runbooks.
AI Systems
AI-augmented delivery, LLM tooling, agentic workflows, and applied ML — clear architecture in, dependable intelligence out.
Strategy & Enablement
Architecture reviews, ADR libraries, team enablement, and technical leadership — leaving the team stronger than I found it.
Battle Log
Patient-care CMS through the utilization ceiling · MongoDB ReplicaSet → Atlas Sharded Cluster
Solo migration of a vendor-locked clinic CMS off a saturated single ReplicaSet onto a horizontally scalable Sharded Cluster. Profiled the live workload, picked the shard key off real query shapes, fixed a misconfigured Azure network path along the way, rehearsed the cutover twice — patient services never went offline.
Booking path under the second barrier · sub-1s P99 across 300+ partner integrations
Profilers, execution plans, and traces on a high-traffic booking flow. Query shapes rewritten, N+1s eliminated, caches placed where the data actually allowed it — P99 brought under one second without dropping a single integration.
PingOps shipped to the App Store · uptime monitoring with cloud coverage
Forged in-house and shipped solo: an iOS uptime monitor with public status pages and cloud-side checks. Design, backend, client, and store release — one operator, end to end.
Enterprise architecture for a 2M+ member platform
Integration architecture, cloud stack selection, and an ADR library that outlived team rotations. Plus the training programme that levelled up every application engineer in the org.
Bottleneckers live · visual bottleneck simulation for distributed systems
Drag-and-drop service topologies, client-side load simulation, utilization heatmaps, and critical-path analysis — systems intuition, playable in the browser.
Pro StarCraft player & team captain · Mineski
Map awareness, build orders, APM under pressure, and post-game analysis as a discipline. The strategic instincts behind every system Arkynate ships were forged here first.
The Arsenal
Arky
Ask what is running, why it broke, or what changed. Arky answers from your own Jira, Confluence, repos and cloud accounts, cites what it read, and files the ticket or publishes the page under your account. It will also clone a repository into a credential-less code workspace, build it, run the application on your own machine once you say yes, and propose the fix as a pull request. Anything that changes a system waits for a confirmation, or for a second approver on production.
LiveBottleneckers
Drop services onto a canvas, simulate traffic, and watch where the architecture breaks — retry storms, latency cascades, saturation. A visual playground for stress-testing designs before they hit production.
LivePingOps
A fast, no-fuss uptime monitor that lives on your iPhone. Add any public URL — your website, your team's API, the AI service your tools depend on. Local checks are free + on-device; opt into Cloud monitoring (Sign in with Apple) so checks keep running while your phone sleeps.
Request a preview of Arky
Arky is in private preview with a small number of internal IT teams. Tell us about your estate and we will walk a real request through it, end to end, against your own scenarios.
What to include
- How many people field the questions and make the changes.
- The systems of record you run — issue tracker, wiki, repos, cloud accounts.
- The environment you would pilot in, and who would hold the approver role.
What happens next
- You get a reply within two business days.
- A 30-minute walkthrough: one question answered, one change gated and approved.
- If it fits, we scope a single-tenant preview deployment against your own accounts.
No form, no sequence, no sales list. The address goes to the operator.
Talk about an engagement
The studio also takes on backend, data, and integration work — the migrations, pipelines, and integration layers that other teams have already tried once. Send a short note about the problem you are fighting and a rough timeline.
The Games Bay
In App ReviewHuskfall
A survivors-like bullet heaven on a dead ashland world. You are the Vanguard — the last working machine. Hold the zone for 15 minutes, loot the relics its Wardens still guard, and seal the Breach. The husks are coming.
Playable on web · iOS in reviewClockwork: Gridlock
One battle per day on a 6×6 board of gears. Command brass Keywardens against the Unwound — every attack telegraphed before your turn, nothing hidden, nothing random, every board machine-proven solvable. Wordle's ritual, Into the Breach's brain.
Salt Crown: Solnitsa
FTL's crew triage, rebuilt as a castle under siege. You are the Warden of Solnitsa, a salt-mine keep, on the Night the fire is low — four defenders, eight rooms in cross-section, twelve Watches to dawn. The Host does not storm you; it grinds you until you break the law first.
Brinefall
A tower defense you win with a supply chain, not a crosshair. Lay out the factory line, provision your emplacements, and hold the walls against the brine — every run fully deterministic.
