KappKom is built for systems that have to keep running.

I work in healthcare IT where audits, uptime, and traceability are part of the job. The goal isn't hype—it's boring, explainable systems and changes you can live with.

About KappKom

KappKom is a small shop. If we’re working together, you’re talking to the person making the changes.

I start by figuring out what’s actually happening, then ship the smallest change that makes the system easier to run. I document the bits that future-you will need.
