Our journey
Our story started with a simple idea
In an industry of ever-expanding generalist firms, clients pay for principal-level experience but are often served by junior teams.
KST Founders saw this disconnect firsthand. They grew frustrated with a model that sidelined its most experienced engineers and left clients with designs that were merely adequate instead of exceptional. KST was founded to fix this.
