About Partitura and Me
Partitura's current team
Well, many of you are gonna be scared away forever by this, while others might be intrigued. The current Partitura team is a very small team. The ideas, infrastructure, management and development are all done by one person: Gabriel Ferreira Angelo. Me.
Yes, I'm the founder and owner, the only Go developer. And the only Flutter developer, and MCP developer... you get the idea. Like many of you, I'm a single developer working at a Big Tech, with a project that was initially, a few years ago, a much simpler system intended for my own use only.
This website is a bit of a special case, as I made a point to have it 100% built by Partitura itself. Currently, it is mostly Brass agents ensuring the code is working as intended, and two Techno agents trying to invade production to make sure it's safe and secure.
Note: Techno section is not available yet. Pentesting (and Ethical Hacking Tests in general) specialized agents are among the scariest I've made for Partitura...
I need more time to ensure they only work on the codebase you explicitly allow them to, and have some sort system to confirm the user actually owns any domain they're trying to test (or restricted to localhost).
The last thing I want is distributing autonomous swarms of hackers that will try to invade random systems 24/7... No release date for them yet, many things come before them.
How did I build something of this scale alone
Thousands of hours over weekends and after my fulltime job, so many versions and iterations completely different from what you see today that I lost count... and determination. At first it was coded in Python, then in Swift, where it reached somewhat close to 40% of what I have now... when I reached a complex barrier that I only knew how to solve using my fulltime job expertise, Go. Then started rewriting everything in Flutter + Go to reach the point where it's at today. Once the project was fully functional, and started properly working (and working on itself as well!), it started to evolve REALLY fast.
Could Partitura build Partitura?
Honestly, I'm curious to know what a few dozen top-notch models working 24/7 on it, with infinite money to pay for the tokens, would achieve.
My initial thought? No, not for the next few years. AI is great at developing more 'common' systems, that were extensively used on their training data. Making a 2d platform, an e-commerce website, those things are easy for current models to achieve with the right tools. But building systems that even Anthropic, Microsoft and Apple themselves don't offer? Not exactly their expertise. But the better those models get, more context fits the model context windows, the best Partitura becomes as well.
While those Big Techs need months of testing, have to prioritize what investors want, have GIANT systems needing constant maintenance and improvements, legal constraints, and would hardly desire to sell a product that allows you to use the competitors models... that's where being the solo developer and owner of a system shines.
