I’m Artem Makarov — developer, designer and automation engineer in one person. Texni Labs is deliberately a one-person studio: whoever works with me talks to the person who designs, builds and ships. No handovers between trades, no friction losses, no agency chain — one clearly scoped brief, one person responsible.

My benchmark comes from industry: in a previous employed role I worked on industrial plant programming in the wind-energy field — where software is not allowed to work “most of the time”. I bring that care into every project, from a trade business to a data tool.

Texni comes from τέχνη — the Greek word that means craft and art at once. The red chimera is its heraldic beast: one body, many natures. Web, automation, data, design, software — different limbs of the same animal.

Two natures

Artem sits on the kitchen floor among disassembled electronics, Lilu and Farah beside him. — Home lab. With colleagues.

Artem at the workbench: a 19-inch rack with servers and a patch panel on the left, a Raspberry Pi cluster, laptop and a monitor showing telemetry dashboards on the desk, an oscilloscope and soldering station on the right, an open GPU rig in the foreground. — Workbench. Without colleagues. The Proving Ground ran here.
