Life at Menna
The people behind the pull requests
Serious about engineering, less serious about everything else. We keep a culture where curiosity and directness are expected, and where good work is noticed.
Around the office
A few moments from the last year
Where we work
Four desks, four styles
The triple monitor
Three screens, two terminals and a notebook that never closes.
The minimalist
One laptop, one lamp, zero cables in sight.
The lab bench
Built for running several environments and a local model at once.
The greenhouse
Plants, daylight and the quietest corner of the office.
Habits
How we actually work
The routines behind the shipping cadence.
Quarterly build days
A full day off client work to prototype internal ideas, some of which ship.
Focus mornings
No meetings before noon, so the hard problems get the fresh hours.
Review culture
Every change is reviewed by a peer. Praise is specific and so is criticism.
Rapid engineering
Concept to deployment in two-week sprint cycles, with review at every step.
Cross-cultural collaboration
Delivered from Addis Ababa on GMT+3, joining European standups every morning.
Production-ready engineering
Scalable architectures for fintech, healthcare and logistics, tested and documented before handoff.
