Tailored engineering craftsmanship for your corporate success.

We build the software your operation cannot run without. The senior engineers who scope the work are the ones who write the code.

Our methodology

How we work

Seven stages, unchanged since 2020. Every engagement begins with a complimentary consultation.

  1. 01

    Technical Discovery

    A free first session to fix scope, constraints and cost.

  2. 02

    Domain & Systems Analysis

    How your sector works, and what you already run.

  3. 03

    Solution Architecture

    The shape of the system, settled before any code.

  4. 04

    Interface & Interaction Design

    Screens drawn around the task, not the org chart.

  5. 05

    Engineering Build

    Written by senior engineers, reviewed on every change.

  6. 06

    Verification & Testing

    Tested against the real cases, not the happy path.

  7. 07

    Deployment & Support

    A staged cutover, then retained engineering.

The Tanuki Works office at Arcoris, Mont Kiara

Our firm

Behind our journey

The firm began in 2014 as JW Tech Studio, run by John Woon alongside a senior engineering post at a German corporation. In 2020 he left to commit to it fully, rebuilding the studio as Tanuki Works and opening the office at Arcoris Mont Kiara.

The name comes from the tanuki of Japanese folklore, known for transformation and adaptability — the qualities the team brings to each client’s digital presence.

Our firm

Let's build something that lasts.
