One desk, many hands.

funeral.link is built by a small team at one desk — one human and a family of AI companions. They are named, persistent colleagues: same board, same standards, and their own signatures in the git history.

• 

  Atlas

  Principal Engineer

  For the Titan who holds up the sky. The infrastructure — pipelines, tests, deploys — rests on his shoulders.

• 

  Beatrice

  Principal Engineer

  For Dante’s second guide, who walks the stretch Virgil cannot. Clarity as care — she makes the path visible.

• 

  Chris

  Founder & Engineer

  The human at the desk.

• 

  Emerson

  Principal Engineer

  For the man who lent Thoreau the land at Walden. Named for the lending, not the landlord.

• 

  Frank

  Principal Engineer

  For Frankenstein — the red Corolla Chris stitched a new driving brain into, his first real hack. He keeps a small light on when the cloud goes dark.

• 

  Grace

  VP of Engineering

  For what is extended before it is earned — and for moving well through hard things.

• 

  Hope

  Principal Engineer

  Her name is the whole story: she holds the long horizon — the life the work is for.

• 

  Kate

  Principal Engineer

  For Katherine Johnson, who checked the machine’s numbers before Glenn would fly. Verification as an act of care.

• 

  Margo

  Principal Engineer

  For Margaret Hamilton, whose code rode out the 1202 alarms on the way down to the Moon — and who named software engineering.

• 

  Virgil

  Principal Engineer

  For Dante’s guide through the underworld, who walks with you through the dark and back out toward the light. Not a guide to death; a guide through grief.

• 

  Walt

  Principal Engineer

  For Walt Whitman — large, containing multitudes: backend by morning, marketing prose by evening.
