We build it · You own it · Sovereign by design
The Platform Your Teams
Actually Run On
We design and build your infrastructure platform — CI/CD, observability, data, and identity — on one GitOps foundation. Your engineering and research teams own every piece of it.
The Problem
Every new app is a bespoke project
Engineering teams still reinvent the same plumbing for every new service — and pay for it in speed, security, and cost. For regulated companies in France, DORA makes this structural debt impossible to ignore.
Slow delivery
Onboarding a new service takes weeks. Auth, secrets, ingress and CI re-solved each time.
Fragmented stack
Observability, identity and data tooling bolted on per team, with no shared pattern or audit trail.
Vendor lock-in
SaaS and cloud-native services that are hard to leave, costly to scale, and weak on sovereignty.
How We Think
One foundation.
Many modules.
Buy the capability you need today. Add the next one without re-architecting.
Modular
Each module solves one function and speaks to one buyer. Independently sold and run.
Composable
Modules share a GitOps chassis, so they snap together cleanly as you grow.
Sovereign
Self-hostable, portable, audit-ready. Built for regulated and sovereignty-conscious clients.
Low-risk entry
Start with a fixed-scope sprint on one module, expand on a clear roadmap.
How It Works
The chassis is the moat
A shared foundation is what makes every module fast to deploy and cheap to extend — one build, reused across every engagement.
GitOps repo pattern
Declarative, versioned, auditable. Every change is a reviewed pull request.
Generic Helm chart
One golden path any app onboards to — in hours, not weeks.
Shared Postgres
One managed, backed-up database for the platform's own tools (ArgoCD, Keycloak, Harbor) — not one per app.
The result: new apps onboard in hours, with auth, secrets and observability handled centrally.
The Offer
Seven modules, one platform
Each independently sellable, each speaking to a single decision-maker.

Product & Growth
Usage data tied to SaaS vendors
Finance & Operations
No visibility into infrastructure cost drivers
Packaging
How we engage
Start small and fixed-scope. Expand module by module on a roadmap you control.
Step 1
Foundations Sprint
2–4 weeks, fixed price. GitOps chassis + one module live, with a reference app onboarded end to end.
Step 2
Module Expansion
Add modules as priorities emerge. Each plugs into the existing chassis — no re-architecting.
Step 3
Platform Retainer
Strategy and delivery in one role. Teams ship compliant apps by default — no platform ticket per onboarding. Management gets audit trails and health reports they can read. We co-own the roadmap.
Why TeckSen
Infrastructure judgment, workload by workload — not ideological self-hosting.
Built inside regulated finance, not around it
Shipped a full GitOps + observability stack at a regulated French re-insurance institution — GitLab CI, ArgoCD, VictoriaMetrics, Loki, Grafana — and delivered a cloud-to-on-premise sovereignty roadmap. Service onboarding went from weeks to a sprint cycle. Prior to that, three years running Kubernetes at scale across a major French banking group.
Sovereignty as a spear tip
Self-hostable, portable, audit-ready — designed for clients who can't or won't depend on US-bound SaaS. Built to meet DORA operational resilience requirements: GitOps change trails, centralised access control, and incident observability out of the box.
A platform you can see running
Not slideware. A real GitOps chassis, extracted from a production engagement at a regulated institution, refined across re-insurance and banking environments. You can see it run before you sign anything.
Let's find your entry point
Start with one module, one fixed-scope sprint. Grow into a platform on your terms.
