Nineteen people, no bench players.

Everyone listed here has shipped something you could log into this quarter. We don't staff engagements with people still ramping up.

Founder & Engineering

Started Kestrel in 2012 after eight years building trading infrastructure. Still reviews every architecture doc before a project kicks off.

Head of Design

Fifteen years turning ambiguous requests into shippable interfaces, across fintech, health, and logistics.

Director of Delivery

Keeps every engagement's scope honest, including ours.

Principal Engineer

Our first call for anything touching payments or compliance.

Senior Engineer, Cloud

Migrated four legacy systems to managed infrastructure without a single missed SLA.

Senior Engineer, Mobile

Shipped native apps for three of the case studies on our work page.

Product Designer

Runs usability sessions in person whenever the client will let her.

QA Lead

Writes the test plan before the first line of code, not after.

Engineering Manager

Manages staffing across engagements so nobody's stretched across four projects.

DevOps Engineer

On-call rotation of one, by his own request, for the last two years.
