Technology, corporate security, and automotive passion.
Clutch & Kernel LLC was founded on a simple idea: the same principles that make a great engine, precision engineering, clean design, and relentless attention to detail, also make great software. We build software products and provide security consulting at the intersection of automotive culture, modern computing, and corporate security.
A clutch transfers power from the engine to the drivetrain. A kernel is the core of an operating system, managing everything between hardware and software. Together, they represent what we care about: the fundamental mechanisms that make complex systems work. No abstraction layers. No hand-waving. Just a deep understanding of how things actually run.
We bring the same rigor to security that a master mechanic brings to a precision engine rebuild. Our team conducts corporate security assessments, code audits, and architecture reviews, identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do. We specialize in corporate security strategy, API hardening, and secure development lifecycle consulting.
We believe software should be built like a well-maintained car: reliable, efficient, and a pleasure to use. Security should be built in from day one, not bolted on after the fact. We prefer simplicity over complexity, fundamentals over frameworks, and shipping working, secure software over chasing trends.
