A contracting firm becoming a product company — on purpose.

For eight years we've built and maintained mission-critical software for BC Government and enterprise. That work is our craft and our funding. Every year, some of it becomes something we own: a SaaS platform, a game, a tool. The plan isn't secret — contracting is the engine, products are the destination.

TheCrux Studios was founded by Alex Zorkin — a systems engineer with twenty years of experience building, breaking, and understanding software from the ground up. The name is the approach: find the critical point where problems are solved, where technical and creative intersect, and where quality matters.

Design to deploy, engine to infra. No handoffs between strangers.
