Who We Are
Justin Butts
Founder + Lead Architect
Justin Butts has spent years embedded inside some of the world’s biggest enterprises - from Fortune 50 heavyweights with sprawling systems and tangled histories to energized startups who can’t afford to make a wrong turn - Justin has helped them modernize, automate, and actually make their technology serve people again.
His work cuts across industries and toolsets, from legacy rebuilds and systems integration to AI-driven architecture and automation at scale.
Everything he builds, designs, or rethinks carries that same spark: a mix of precision engineering and narrative curiosity, the drive to make something work and make it mean something.
His North Star is obsession—an unshakable need to understand things fully, connect them intelligently, and leave them better aligned with the future that’s coming.
