// 02 · The duo

Two friends, one weird codebase.

We're two nerd developers who met over a shared loathing of bloated software and a love of good keyboards.

By day, we ship code at companies you've heard of. By night, weekends, and stolen lunch breaks — we ship the2guy.

● Currently shipping from a tiny garage · to the void
