ufactor.ai is a lean team of senior engineers and architects, amplified by the same AI tools and agents we build for clients. We use AI agents to build agents — which is how a small team ships production-grade systems with senior hands on every part.
The team is led by Rui Brás Fernandes — 25+ years of technology leadership across multi-national companies including Cisco and Deloitte, two startups built and exited, and Agentic AI shipped to production.
Around that sits a deliberately small group of senior people. We stay lean on purpose and let AI carry the repetitive work — so the hands on your system are senior ones, not a junior team learning on your budget.
We spent years running the Software Development Lifecycle as u-factor.io — shipping products, exits, and enterprise platforms. The move to ufactor.ai isn't a rebrand; it's a new loop: the Agent Development Lifecycle. Building agents is 90% software, 10% AI — and the 90% is exactly what we already knew how to do.
Two acquired SaaS spinoffs. Renault & Citroën launches. Production systems for healthcare, last-mile, and events — the boring, hard parts of shipping software, at scale.
Multi-agent systems on Google ADK, LangGraph, and CrewAI. State, tools, evals, observability — the SDLC muscle made the pivot quick; the ADLC loop keeps it learning.
Real-time event logistics — hardware, firmware, and platform — built end to end and exited to a Renault-aligned operator.
Indoor positioning platform acquired by Crowdkeep, now part of Veea. The whole stack shipped to production.
A multi-agent platform for telco and enterprise operations — agents in production with human-in-the-loop and custom tooling.
A last-mile delivery platform powered by an AI Operations Engine — planning routes, resolving exceptions, and coordinating dispatch and drivers in real time.
Selected work. Names and dates shown for context — happy to walk through any of these in detail on a call.
