Founder-led.Locally based.Quietly relentless.

Manifesto / The longer version

Most IT shops sell tickets. We sell results, on the same monthly invoice. Most marketing agencies hand off to a developer they’ve never met. We are the developer. Most studios choose a side: technical or creative, MSP or marketing. We refuse to.

We started Terranotics because the businesses we worked with kept needing the same thing: software that ran, hardware that didn’t fight them, and a marketing engine that pointed at the same number. Hiring four vendors to do that is a full-time job. We do it under one roof.

We’re small on purpose. The same person you meet in the discovery call is the person who shows up at 11pm when something breaks. That’s the trade. Always will be.

Values / 04

What we won’t compromise on.

01 / 04

Clarity

Plain English, written estimates, and dashboards you can read without us in the room.

02 / 04

Ownership

If we touched it, we own it until you tell us we don't. No finger-pointing.

03 / 04

Speed

Decisions in days, ships in weeks, fixes in minutes. We respect the calendar.

04 / 04

Long-term

We'd rather lose the upsell than lose the relationship. We're here for the next five years.

Team / 4 senior leads · extended bench across Canada

Small bench. Senior bats.

The four people below own the studio’s strategy, engineering, finance, and brand work. Every client engagement touches at least two of them directly. Beyond the lead bench, we run an extended team of full-stack engineers, MSP operators, designers, and AI specialists across Canada — booked per engagement rather than sat on a roster.

Rishi

Founder · Head of AI Strategy

Built production AI systems for five years before founding Terranotics in 2019. Owns the studio's AI automation practice end-to-end — from the first call where we scope what's worth automating, to the agents that quietly run for years after. Also runs studio strategy and the business-development side of every engagement. Still picks up the phone before the receptionist does.
