Two engineers. One studio.
Symonov is a small independent dev studio run by two brothers. We've been shipping production code together since 2017 — backend, frontend, infra, deploy. No agency overhead, no project managers between you and the people writing the code.

## principles
— how we work #principles- — ship small, ship often. boring tools, predictable deploys.
- — types end-to-end. typescript on the front, typed php where it matters.
- — production over prototype. nothing counts until it's deployed and reachable.
- — own the deploy pipeline. CI is part of the codebase, not someone else's job.
- — no telemetry, no admin nag screens, no upsells in plugins we maintain.
- — direct communication. you talk to the people writing the code.
