01 Algebra
AI-native platforms for persistent operational problems that everyone else walked past.
See what we're building ↓02 The Algebra Problem
An Algebra Problem is a persistent operational challenge that an underserved industry has accepted as the cost of doing business. Not because the problem is unsolvable. Because nobody thought it was worth solving properly.
We disagree.
03 What ships
Custom software used to take a year. Now it takes weeks, or even days. And every engineer on Earth, including ours, are building faster with AI.
The risk isn't the tools. It's the discipline they don't replace. A working prompt isn't a shipped product.
There's nothing wrong with vibing your way into a demo. It's a great way to prove an idea. But software built on vibes and rickety architecture holds up in front of the CEO, collapses on second contact, and gets very expensive to babysit once deployed.
Algebra builds AI-native platforms the way senior engineers build any platform: with architecture, discipline, and a name on the code.
AI-native. Engineer-built.

Every project we take on starts the same way: an operator living inside a broken system, paying too much for software that was never built for them, doing too much manually because nothing better existed. Sometimes we build the platform an industry has been missing. Sometimes a business hires us to build the platform their business has been missing. Same discipline, either way.
Our platforms
Decorated apparel shops (screen printers, embroiderers, custom decorators) have been running their businesses on three to five disconnected tools for twenty years. Paying $400–600 a month for software that doesn't share data.
Zippr replaces all of it. One AI-native platform (CRM, quoting, production scheduling, art management, and AI mockup generation) for $199 a month.
That's an Algebra Problem. Solved.
gozippr.com →ISO 17025 accredited laboratories manage compliance in spreadsheets, shared drives, and manual checklists. Audit preparation takes weeks. Gaps aren't discovered until an auditor finds them.
OmniPane is an AI compliance surveillance layer that monitors lab operations in real time, flags ISO 17025 gaps the moment they occur, and generates audit-ready reports on demand.
That's an Algebra Problem. Solving.
2027Custom builds
If yours does, we'll build the platform you should have had ten years ago. Purpose-built for your operation. Owned by you. Delivered by senior engineers who put their names on the code.
Your Algebra Problem. Solved.
Work with us →05 Who We Are
John brings the operator's perspective. He has run decorated apparel operations, managed ISO 17025 accredited laboratory compliance, and built businesses across multiple industries. Every product Algebra builds starts from a place of lived operational pain. Not market research.
Daniel builds the architecture. He designs AI-native platforms from first principles. Not horizontal tools with vertical features bolted on. Every system he builds is purpose-built for the industry it serves, structured around the way operators actually work.
Two founders. Deep domain expertise plus technical depth.
