TEAM
Experienced and driven.
From building penetration testing tools to architecting enterprise applications, we bring a combined 20+ years of professional software engineering experience. We started tyOS to put that experience into practice, building software that is fast, modular, and efficient to develop.

WHY
Software should be better.
tyOS is a software company and consulting group based in New York, USA. Comprised of a small team of developers, tyOS specializes in graphics, high performance algorithms and data structures, audio processing, and design. tyOS's mission is simple: to write clean and performant software. In an era defined by AI coding agents and entire React libraries built to render simple buttons, tyOS aims to stand out by delivering the code you need without unnecessary dependencies, AI bloat, and propensity of bugs often introduced by the former two approaches.
