About DOIS
What we think. Why we think it.
We're not here to make you feel good.
We've built software in startups that moved fast and broke things (including themselves), and in enterprises that needed six approvals to change a button color. We've seen the same patterns repeat across industries, continents, and hype cycles.
Now, with AI reshaping how software gets built, we think there's value in saying what we actually believe — not what's safe, not what's popular.
This isn't for everyone. If you want validation, look elsewhere. If you want frameworks without trade-offs, we can't help. If you want us to hedge every opinion with "it depends" — we'll disappoint you.
What we will do: share what we've learned, experiment in the open, and say it straight. We have strong convictions, loosely held. We might be wrong. We're not apologetic about having a point of view. Take what's useful. Disagree where you should. That's the point.
Meet the Team
Andreos
Co-founder
Builder at heart. Systems thinker. Student of incentives. Navigator of the AI paradigm shift. Engineering leader who has built from zero, moved fast, and learned through startup chaos what actually matters when shipping products under constraints. Draws lessons from psychology, economics, game theory, and AI to understand problems deeply—a cross-disciplinary approach that reveals what purely technical frameworks miss.
Thiago
Co-founder
Builder. Systems thinker. Architect of clarity. At the core, a builder—that's been true throughout his career, even as what he builds has changed. Started with software—writing code, shipping features, learning the hard lessons that only production systems teach. Over time, focus shifted. Not away from building, but *up a level*. From code to systems. From systems to teams. From teams to organizations.
