Useful things, dredged up from the deep.
R'lyeh Technologies builds small, sharp apps for people who just want the thing to work — no servers watching, no ads surfacing, nothing tracking you back to shore.
Twenty-five years below the surface.
R'lyeh Technologies has been lurking since 2001, when the dot-com bubble ruptured and our principal consultant struck out alone — armed with a computer science degree, a decade of Unix scar tissue, and a strong desire to keep paying rent.
He built one of Oregon's largest independent ISPs from nothing, then helped stand up a serious IPv6 and colocation operation. Through company rebrandings, network intrusions, disaster recovery, and plain old day-to-day operations, the work got done.
These days the surface consulting is quieter, and something new is rising from the depths: focused little apps, built with the same paranoia about other people's data that kept those networks alive.
The apps.

More is moving in the dark. It isn't ready to be looked at directly yet — and you wouldn't want it to be.
