A two-person studio with an agentic workforce
Techthos is a lean, founder-run family company — two people, not a layered agency. That is deliberate. Instead of scaling headcount, we scale an agentic workflow: AI does the heavy lifting under a senior engineer’s specification and review. The result is senior-grade software, shipped fast, without the overhead you would normally pay for.
The people you work with
No account managers, no hand-offs to juniors. You talk to the people who build and own the work.
Alexandros Fotiadis
Senior software engineer with nearly 13 years across frontend, backend, cloud, and AI. Writes the specifications, owns the architecture, and reviews every line that ships.
Alexia Katrantzidou
Runs finance, administration, contracts, and back-office — so engagements stay organised, compliant, and easy to work with from day one.
How the work actually gets done
“Specification-led, review-bound” sounds abstract. In practice it is a simple, repeatable loop — and it is what lets two people deliver like a much larger team.
We write the specification
Every project starts with a precise spec a senior engineer wrote. It defines what gets built and why, before any code exists. You own it — usable to brief any team, not just us.
Agents do the heavy lifting
Inside that spec, AI agents draft code, scaffold, generate tests, and handle the repetitive work — at a speed no human team matches. Agents never make architectural decisions on their own.
Alexandros reviews everything
No agent output reaches you unreviewed. Alexandros — our senior engineer and co-founder — checks every change against the specification, corrects it, and is personally accountable for what ships.
You get software you own
Working software, plus the source code, prompts, workflow definitions, and documentation — all yours, milestone by milestone. No lock-in.
Why two people is enough
Traditional studios add people to add capacity. We add capacity by improving the workflow — the prompts, the guardrails, the review checklists. That is why a two-person studio can run several projects at once and still have a senior engineer accountable for each one. Lean is not a limitation here; it is the product.
Why we built it this way
I spent over a decade watching good software projects drown in headcount, hand-offs, and meetings that produced nothing. When agentic tools became genuinely capable, I saw a different way to work: keep the senior judgment that makes software defensible, and let AI absorb the volume that used to require a team.
So we built Techthos small on purpose. Alexia keeps the business honest and organised; I keep the engineering honest and reviewed. Everything else is workflow. We would rather be a sharp two-person studio that ships than a big one that bills — and the open-source tools below are how we keep proving we can build.

We give back what we can
When a tool we build internally is small, general-purpose, and free of customer specifics, we open-source it. It is our way of contributing to the community we rely on — and the clearest proof of how we build.
