Meet the Team

Small studio.Senior bench.Shipped builds.

The people on this page are the people who will scope, design, and code your build. No handoff to a junior pool. No relay race across time zones.

01

Leadership

The person who picks up the phone.

Every brief lands with Ian first. He runs the scoping call and routes the rest of the bench in.

02

The bench

The crew behind the camera and the code.

Each member below leads at least one practice end-to-end. We are actively hiring engineers, designers, and directors — this page will grow as the bench grows.

Photographer & Media Handler

Aviv Rubinov

Runs the camera and the media channels. Shoots every team photo, every client story, and every product still you see on this site. Also handles socials, the press kit, and anything that has to look good on a screen.

Lead Engineer

Marcus Vega

Heads up build execution at Valqour. Eight years across full-stack, mobile, and cloud — the operator who turns the brief into shipped code. Quietly opinionated about test coverage and loud about clean APIs.

Frontend Engineer

Elias Roth

Lives at the intersection of design systems and React. Builds the interfaces clients ship to customers — fast, responsive, and pixel-honest. Treats accessibility like a feature, not a footnote.

Backend Engineer

Rafael Okonkwo

Owns the server side at Valqour. Distributed systems, databases under load, and the unglamorous middle layers that make everything else possible. Ex-fintech, ex-streaming.

Mobile & Games Engineer

Tomas Keller

Ships native iOS, Android, and Unity builds. Released two top-100 mobile games and a fleet of B2B field apps. Knows the App Store review process by heart.

Swift · Kotlin · Unity
AI & Cloud Engineer

Jonas Mihael

Builds the agents inside Apex and the infrastructure underneath Cipher. RAG, evals, IaC, edge — picks the right tool per job and writes the runbook before he writes the code.
