Who we are

Engineers who treat security as a product feature.

BulgariTech is a senior team of AI, security, and platform engineers. We design systems that are secure by default — and we share what we know through hands-on trainings for the people building and running them.

Cryptography & Identity

From hardware-backed keys to passkey-first auth, we build trust primitives that hold up under audit.

Observability by default

Tracing, metrics, and structured logs are wired in on day one — production is never a black box.

Developer Experience

Typed contracts, golden paths, and tight feedback loops — so your engineers ship with confidence.

Services

Engineering teams build what they trust.

Five engagement pillars covering the entire lifecycle — from research-grade AI to production cybersecurity and platform engineering.

  • 01

    AI Solutions

    LLM apps, RAG systems, and model engineering you can trust.

    We design and ship production-grade AI products — from retrieval-augmented assistants to bespoke fine-tunes — with evaluation, guardrails, and observability baked in from day one.

    • LLM-powered applications & assistants
    • RAG systems with private knowledge bases
    • Custom model fine-tuning & evaluation
    • MLOps pipelines & inference infrastructure
  • 02

    Cybersecurity

    Offensive testing meets secure-by-default engineering.

    Red-team experience hardens every layer of your stack. We run penetration tests, threat-model new systems, and embed security controls directly into the SDLC so you ship resilient software.

    • Penetration testing & red teaming
    • Threat modeling & risk assessments
    • Secure SDLC and code review
    • Incident response & forensics
  • 03

    DevOps & Cloud

    Reliable platforms on AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes.

    We build the runways your product needs — automated, observable, and cost-aware. Infrastructure as code, golden CI/CD pipelines, and SRE-grade observability with FinOps insight.

    • Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi)
    • CI/CD with progressive delivery
    • Kubernetes platform engineering
    • Observability, SLOs, and FinOps
  • 04

    Frontend Engineering

    Next.js, design systems, and interfaces that perform.

    Modern React applications crafted for accessibility, performance, and scale. We deliver design systems, server-rendered experiences, and obsessively measured Core Web Vitals.

    • Next.js & React product engineering
    • Design systems & component libraries
    • Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
    • Core Web Vitals & performance tuning
  • 05

    Backend Engineering

    APIs, distributed systems, and data at the edge.

    From real-time APIs to event-driven pipelines, we engineer backends that scale predictably and degrade gracefully — with typed contracts, strong observability, and zero-trust defaults.

    • Typed APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
    • Distributed systems & event pipelines
    • Data engineering & analytics platforms
    • Edge & serverless architectures
Why choose us

Built by operators, for teams that ship.

Every recommendation comes with running code, runbooks, and a real plan for the long-tail of operating it.

Experienced Engineers

Senior consultants with two decades of combined experience shipping AI, security, and platform systems for regulated industries.

Modern Technologies

Next.js, Python, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform — we choose proven, well-typed tools and avoid lock-in.

Security-first mindset

Threat modeling, secure SDLC, and supply-chain hardening are part of every engagement — not an afterthought.

Enterprise-ready solutions

SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR-aligned engineering practices, with documentation your auditors will actually thank you for.

Client stories

Quiet, expert work — heard from the people who hired us.

CTOs, security leaders, and platform directors from fintech, healthcare, energy, and SaaS — all with one thing in common.

BulgariTech rebuilt our risk pipeline end-to-end. The team's depth on cryptography and distributed systems is genuinely rare — and they shipped six weeks ahead of plan.

Elena Marinova

CTO · Northwind Financial

Featured
We brought BulgariTech in for a red-team engagement and ended up keeping them on as our secure-SDLC partner. Every recommendation came with working code and clear metrics.

Marcus Reinhardt

Head of Security · Halberd Cloud

Featured
Their AI engineers understand the production side of LLMs — evaluation, guardrails, observability. We went from a brittle prototype to a real product in one quarter.

Sara Lindqvist

VP of Engineering · Vektor Health

Featured
The Kubernetes training program reshaped how our platform team operates. Hands-on, opinionated, and tuned to our exact stack — the best workshop we've ever run.

Tomáš Horák

Director of Platform · Lumen Industrial

BulgariTech's threat modeling sessions surfaced risks our internal team had missed for two years. The remediation roadmap they produced was clear enough to present directly to the board.

Isabelle Fontaine

CISO · Arclux Energy

Rarely do you find engineers who can speak to regulators in the morning and then tune a Kubernetes autoscaler in the afternoon. BulgariTech's team does both without blinking.

Daniel Osei

Engineering Director · PrimeCare Systems

They took our RAG prototype from 61% retrieval accuracy to 94% in eight weeks, then instrumented the whole thing with traces and dashboards before handoff. Outstanding.

Yuki Tanaka

Head of AI Product · Synaptic Labs

Featured
We engaged BulgariTech for a GDPR technical readiness review. Their engineers actually understand the regulation — not just the checkbox version. Invaluable for our Series B.
