A full-stack, DevOps & security studio  ·  AI products and the infrastructure that keeps them running  ·  7 open-source packages

Hiprax started long before invoices and contracts. It began with three friends wired on curiosity, breaking systems, rebuilding them, and refusing to accept a surface-level understanding of anything.

That curiosity turned into skill, and the skill into discipline. The mindset never changed.

We build web applications end to end — database and cloud infrastructure through to the last pixel of the interface. Across 10+ years of engineering (the studio itself has been trading since 2020) we've shipped under real pressure, the kind where "almost good" gets someone paged at 4am. No shortcuts. No hand-holding frameworks. No blind dependency on AI. Just engineers who understand what they build, top to bottom.

Every client we've worked with has chosen to work with us again. Not by chance.

Two things about that pipeline are worth saying out loud.

The threat model comes before the feature code. Retrofitting auth and authorization onto a shipped product is how most breaches start. We'd rather spend a day on it in week one than a month on it after someone finds the hole.

Everything ships as one self-contained stack. One compose file, one root .env, one port bound to the loopback interface, and an Nginx on the host holding the certificate. It runs identically on a laptop and on a bare VPS, which means "works on my machine" stops being a sentence anyone says.

Three senior engineers. No juniors to babysit, no account manager to route around — you talk to the person writing the code.

A few of the products we've shipped. Most are under NDA, so these are the shapes rather than the client names.

Vue, Svelte, Angular, Flask, PHP, and Laravel are in the toolbox too, when a project already lives there.

We build for developers as well as clients. Seven packages on npm — four under the @hiprax scope, three unscoped — all MIT, around 11,600 downloads in the last year. @hiprax/crypto and @hiprax/logger publish straight from CI through npm's OIDC trusted publishing, so no token ever sits on a laptop.

Good engineering should strengthen the ecosystem instead of extracting from it. These are free, and they stay free.

Package	What it gives you
@hiprax/crypto	AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with Argon2id key derivation, file streaming, and constant-time comparison. Zero runtime dependencies.
hppx	HTTP Parameter Pollution shield for Express: blocks prototype pollution, null-byte injection, and DoS vectors with nested whitelists.
pixel-serve-server	Sharp-powered image middleware: on-the-fly AVIF and WebP conversion, resizing, strict path validation, smart caching.
pixel-serve-client	The React half of Pixel Serve: multi-format srcset, lazy loading, a skeleton loader, SSR-safe fallbacks.
@hiprax/use-seo	One React hook for titles, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, hreflang, and JSON-LD. SSR-safe and fully tested.
@hiprax/logger	Winston-based structured logging with daily rotation, verified IANA timezones, and an Express middleware that masks secrets automatically.
@hiprax/errors	Modular error handling for Express: structured, typed error classes and consistent API responses.

Also on the shelf: h-vault — a zero-knowledge, self-hostable password manager and encrypted notebook. AES-256-GCM happens in the browser; the server only ever sees ciphertext.

"The best full-stack team I have ever met in my working career, and even better individuals. Thank you Hiprax for your work and amazing results for us."

Ovidio Gomez

"It is hard to find devs who actually care about the backend security as much as the front-end design. Hiprax is the real deal. They spotted a vulnerability we did not even know we had and patched it without making a fuss."

Elena Rodriguez

"We were in a huge bind after our previous developer left us hanging right before launch. Hiprax stepped in and cleaned up the code in three days. They literally saved our launch week."

Marcus Thorne

Those are all three we've published, names as given. We don't dress them up with stock photos or invented job titles.

It can be imagined? It can be built.
It's complex? Even better.
It's impossible? Let's make it happen.

Have something complex, security-critical, or a little impossible in mind? That's our favourite kind of brief.

How to start. Email dev@hiprax.com with three things: the problem, the stack you're on, and the deadline you're working against.

Who reads it. An engineer, not a salesperson. You'll get an honest read on how we'd build it and whether we're the right team for it. If we're not, we'll tell you, and usually point you at who is.

Currently available for new work.
