Here is what we do.

We’re a boutique software house with expertise in developing custom, high performance, scalable, robust back-end software. Google trusted us multiple times to develop their cloud libraries, why wouldn’t you?

we will solve your technical problems

Where most engineers struggle, we thrive. Cloud, distributed programming, high performance, scalability, low latency, reliability, fault tolerance, low level programming are our bread and butter, so we’ll solve your problems quicker and with less risk for you.

we know the right way to develop your application

We know how to design software in the industry-standard way, so that it is scalable, robust, maintainable and future-proof. We will develop your application accordingly – that way it will be delivered faster, work more reliably and be cheaper.

we will deploy, monitor and maintain your application

We know to ensure your mission critical system never fails you. This entails proper design, deployment, training and procedures. We can utilize that knowledge to your advantage.

Implement the impossible!

We love solving open, technical problems. Whether it's a Linux kernel feature or an integration which doesn't seem feasible or computations which seem immensely hard, we'd love to step up to these challenges.

Why
unoperate.

Multiple customers trusted us already. We are proud that Google trusted us multiple times to develop their libraries. Below you can find the summary of some work we carried out so far – it showcases that we can solve a wide variety of problems.

HBase mirroring client

Unoperate developed a mirroring HBase client library, which can be used as a drop-in replacement for the regular library. It duplicates every mutation to two underlying HBase or Cloud Bigtable databases. It is intended to be used as a tool to migrate on-premises HBase clusters to Google’s Cloud Bigtable. Despite its sophistication, the library adds only a minimal amount of CPU consumption and will constrain its memory use to what the users desire. The project was ordered by Google.
Extending Tensorflow with a Cloud Bigtable dataset

Unoperate extended Tensorflow to allow its users to read data directly from Google’s Cloud Bigtable. In order to maximize performance, the implementation is C++ based with only a facade in in Python. You can learn more at https://github.com/tensorflow/io/blob/master/docs/tutorials/bigtable.ipynb. The project was ordered by Google.
Extending PyTorch with a Cloud Bigtable dataset

Unoperate extended PyTorch to allow its users to read data directly from Google’s Cloud Bigtable. In order to maximize performance, the implementation is C++ based with only a facade in in Python. You can learn more at https://pypi.org/project/pytorch-bigtable/. The project was ordered by Google.
Mailwitness – radically simple digital signatures

Unoperate founded, implemented and supports mailwitness.com, a service for radically simple digital signatures. Mailwitness allows you to sign PDF documents via as little as your email. We are increasing the safety of contracts made online without the cumbersome applications, registration, etc.
Development of Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Storage C++ client libraries

Unoperate developed Google’s Cloud Bigtable and Cloud Storage C++ client libraries in close cooperation with Google’s engineers. This is highly efficient, asynchronous software, which has to be bulletproof, as it underpins a large number of customers using Google Cloud through C++. Among many achievements were: implementation of asynchronous data streams, automatic, self-regulating mutation batching, performance tuning, parallel uploads and more.
Managing the whole engineering departament

The initial engagement covered infrastructure consulting to help Codility make their platform more scalable and manageable. After a successful conclusion of that engagement, a more challenging one commenced – to manage the whole engineering department while Codility was searching for a new CTO. This entailed improving software engineering practices (formalizing release process and non-functional requirements, improving communications and transparency), making high-level technical decisions and overlooking security toughening to achieve SOC-II certification.
Secret customer

Designing and implementing an SDR-based radio communication protocol

Unoperate designed and developed a very low latency, but very configurable communication protocol using software defined radio (USRP). This was a delicate balancing act between efficient data processing, low latency, precision and robustness. It entailed methodical analysis of possible detection algorithms, software and hardware limits and making it managed by a usable control plane.

We are a team of very highly skilled professionals who are driven by solving hard problems. We will gladly take those hard problems off your back and provide you with a robust solution.

Rather than being a set of freelancers for hire, we deliver value as a team. Our small size guarantees that you get dedication unmatched by large companies.

Marek Dopiera, Founder, CEO and architect

By education, I hold a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s in computer science, both from the University of Warsaw. By experience, I’m much more of an engineer than a scientist.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned how to design, build, deploy and maintain complex, distributed, efficient systems. In order to get there, I worked as a software developer working on lowest levels of storage stacks, writing Linux kernel modules and optimizing lock-free data structures for faster data processing, as an SRE tech lead running the largest database service on the planet (Google Bigtable) and finally as an interim VP of engineering at Codility, leading the engineering team to deliver more scalable and robust software in a more focused and transparent way. For more information, take a look at my personal website at marek.dopiera.pl or on LinkedIn.

Finally, I’ve decided that it’s time to spread what I’ve learned to as many companies as I can. This is why I’ve founded Unoperate.

Kajetan Boroszko, software engineer

I studied Physics and Computer Science through the Inter-Faculty Individual Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MISMaP) which resulted in a Bsc in Physics. Acquiring knowledge gives me enormous gratification and science has always been my passion, therefore I continued my education and got a Msc in Computer Science, whilst also working part time in Quantum Optics Lab located in the Center of New Technology at UW.

Being so widely educated in various fields helps me to approach problems in a unique and more comprehensive manner, which is vital for creative programming.

I am excited to contribute to modern projects and be part of developing bleeding edge technology. I want to continuously better myself and remain passionate about my everyday work. That is why I decided to join Unoperate.

Mateusz Walkiewicz, software engineer

Several years of working on software in long-term and ad-hoc projects, ranging from system software to cloud solutions, taught me that solving complicated problems in a clean and simple way is the key to successful delivery.

I’ve obtained a Master’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Warsaw.

Adam Czajkowski, software engineer

I’m the youngest member of the Unoperate team. I earned my Computer Science bachelor’s degree from University of Warsaw in 2020. Right now I’m pursuing master’s degree in Computer Science from the same University, where I’m contributing to the development of a cycle-accurate SoC (TI CC2650) emulator. The provisional title of my thesis is ‘Modeling Energy Consumption in an ARM Cortex-M3 Emulator’. Though it deals with embedded devices, my primary interests lie in distributed systems. That’s why interacting with state-of-the-art distributed systems day after day makes my work at Unoperate particularly enjoyable.

Personally, I am a free and open software enthusiast and an avid chess player.

We believe and internalize these (obvious) statements:

pragmatism above all; no general rule should take precedence over real gains
Ockham’s razor – the simplest solution tends to be the right one
you can ruin the best algorithm by bad engineering practices
hope is not a strategy; if you leave your service exposed to risks, you have to be prepared to handle them or accept them materializing
you can’t promise or improve performance if you don’t measure it
lessons have to be learned from every failure
humans make more mistakes than machines; you should avoid humans operating software, hence the name Unoperate.

Unoperate is hiring!

Carlos O'Ryan

Google, Senior Staff Software Engineer

I worked with the folks from Unoperate for over two years. They always delivered high quality code, on time, and were extremely flexible as we iterated over the (poorly specified) code. They solved some difficult problems for us, including components to maximize throughput from client applications to our cloud services. These required implementing high-performance, multi-threaded, fully asynchronous library components in C++.
