The studio
From backend to infrastructure — engineered end to end.
mka4tech is a founder-led software and systems studio in Ulm. Drawing on ten-plus years across enterprise software, FinTech, telecom, and research, we design and build systems that hold under load and over the years — from the database to the deployment.
