One senior engineer, with work to show

The person who scopes your project is the person who writes the code. No account manager, no junior tier, no handoff.

CG Labs is Christos Grigoriadis. In practice that means when you hire us, you get the engineer — not a salesperson who disappears after the contract and hands you to someone cheaper. You explain the problem once, to the person who will solve it.

The work runs from the very small to the very large. A counsellor's booking site that syncs to her calendar and costs her nothing to host. A marketing system for nonprofits that runs on their own machine, so donor data never leaves the building. And, day to day, leading the engineering on a legal-AI platform that searches more than ten million legal documents and answers with a citation on every claim — infrastructure, backend, retrieval, interface, the lot.

Why the hard problems don't scare us

Most of this started as an obsession with making AI models run fast on hardware you can actually afford, instead of renting someone else's by the word. That means compiling models down to the metal, routing requests so GPUs don't repeat work they've already done, and fitting large models onto ordinary cards. You do not need to know what any of that means. What it buys you is simple: when your project needs something unusual, we aren't limited to whatever a vendor's API happens to offer — and when someone tells you a thing is impossible on your budget, we can usually go and check.

What you can hold us to

Every one of these answers a question buyers have and often don't ask out loud.

You own everything
Code, models, data, infrastructure, accounts. Full IP transfer on final payment, in writing. No proprietary runtime you have to keep paying us for. If you want to take it in-house or hand it to another team, we'll help you do it cleanly.
Your data stays yours
We'll sign an NDA before the first technical call, and work under a DPA as your processor. We don't train on your data, we don't reuse your code on other projects, and we'll show you exactly where every byte lives before you commit.
A number before we start
Fixed price on defined scope — not an hourly meter. If scope changes we quote the change and you decide. No surprise invoices at the end.
We answer within one business day
Every email, every message. During an active build, same day.
Handover, not lock-in
Every project ships with documentation, runbooks and a working local setup any competent engineer can pick up. We'd rather you stayed because the work is good.
If we're not the right fit, we'll say so
Sometimes the answer is an off-the-shelf tool, a frontier API, or a bigger agency. We'll tell you on the first call rather than sell you a project we're wrong for.
