Clutch & Kernel is a technology company built at the intersection of automotive passion and the fundamentals of computing. We build software for people who care about how things work.
Engineering, software, and automotive — built to last.
We approach every project like a well-tuned engine — precision-built, rigorously tested, and designed to perform under real-world conditions.
From embedded systems to web platforms, we build software grounded in computing fundamentals. Clean architecture, no bloat, built to last.
Cars aren't just transportation — they're engineered art. Our automotive roots inform everything we build: performance, reliability, and the joy of the craft.
A little more effort upfront beats fixing a bad design after the fact. We take the time to do things properly.
Trends come and go. We invest in deep understanding of computing fundamentals — the kind of knowledge that compounds over decades.
We're car people and computer people. We build things because we love building things, and that shows in the work.
