Asterope is building foundational performance and efficiency software for the way modern hardware actually runs. We're early, we're quiet, and we're working with a small number of partners.
Capital and chips are no longer the constraint. The pressing question is how much useful work the infrastructure on the floor can actually deliver.
The biggest near-term efficiency wins live in how software meets the machine — not in waiting years for more capacity to come online.
Modern infrastructure is no longer one kind of processor. We design for a world where workloads span very different hardware.
We're not ready to show the engine yet. But here's the shape of how we think about the problem.
Co-author of The Design & Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System and the long-running "Kode Vicious" columnist for ACM Queue / CACM. Two decades of authority in low-level systems and performance.
FreeBSD Foundation board member and former Core Team. PhD candidate at Yale (systems & databases); Industrial Visitor at the University of Cambridge. Has built trading systems at Hudson River Trading and shipped code on NASA missions.
Repeat founder with a completed exit — founder & CEO of Borneo, a data-security platform acquired by Atlassian in 2025.
Two decades of senior engineering leadership at Uber, Meta and Yahoo, building infrastructure and data platforms at hyperscaler scale. Delivered engineering and security for the Facebook and Uber IPOs. Board member, HTX (Singapore).
We'd like to hear from teams that run large compute fleets, people who optimize infrastructure for a living, and engineers who want to build foundational systems software from the ground up.
