We build software that runs on real machines. No cloud dependencies you don't own. No bloat. Just well-engineered systems.
Full-stack engineering for teams that need things to actually work. We specialise in self-hosted infrastructure, security-hardened deployments, and custom application development.
A selection of projects — self-initiated and client work.
Opinionated tooling choices. Everything selected for reliability and operator ownership, not hype cycles.
Nullpointer Studio is an independent software and infrastructure studio. We're generalists who go deep — comfortable in a kernel config or a React component, equally at home writing an nftables ruleset or a product spec.
We believe software should run on hardware you control. Not because we're ideological about it, but because self-hosted systems are more reliable, cheaper at scale, and don't have a quarterly earnings call that could discontinue your production dependency.
Our work ranges from bespoke web applications to complete self-hosted cloud infrastructure — often for small teams and founders who need senior-level engineering without the overhead of a full agency.
When we're not shipping client work: arcade games, bike analytics, and writing tools.
We take on a small number of projects at a time to ensure quality. If you have something worth building, tell us about it.
We're particularly interested in: infrastructure migrations off big-cloud, security-critical applications, tools for developers, and anything involving interesting constraints.
We respond to every serious enquiry, usually within one business day.
