Core Values
Master your Craft
It doesn't matter if it's a programming language, an operating system, a microcontroller, a networking protocol, a frontend framework, a database system, a service orchestrator, a mobile platform, or a pre-trained foundational GPT model — what matters is how well you know them. What matters even more is which core or fundamental aspects you don't fully understand, don't control, or don't even know exist 😱. Becoming exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable in one's discipline is what allows us to be precise and consistent in our work. Only then — and not before — can you start innovating, getting more creative, gaining confidence in your solutions, and ultimately providing that competitive advantage to yourself, your team, and our customers.
Empathy
According to Cambridge, empathy is “ the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation”. At Celteeka, it's through empathy and active listening that we're ultimately able to interpret what our clients are trying to convey during the discovery phase — whether we're defining the big picture, kicking off a new project, or in the middle of a sprint trying to prioritize features and bug fixes during poker planning. Likewise, and again through empathy, we're able to understand our clients' end users. Finally, we promote the use of empathy among our own team members as well. This is not just a technique that helps us do our jobs better — we believe that being empathetic is a philosophy of life. And if we can promote it, we not only improve the work we do, but we elevate ourselves as human beings.
Blameless Culture
At Celteeka, we foster a culture of reflection and retrospection. We believe that the only real way to learn is by making mistakes — and that our greatest lessons come from those moments. We see them as opportunities for improvement, not reasons for blame. This approach isn't just part of our internal philosophy — it also echoes a core principle of the DevOps movement: blameless postmortems. When something breaks, we focus on what happened and how we can prevent it, rather than who caused it. This helps us respond to incidents constructively, learn faster, and improve system resilience without creating fear or finger-pointing. We believe this kind of environment is essential for encouraging creativity, psychological safety, and innovation. Teams can only take risks, experiment, and grow if they know that failure won't be punished — but understood, shared, and used as fuel for progress.
Respect
Respect, one could argue, is the most fundamental act for any relationship to thrive, evolve, mature, and endure. Respect for a colleague, for our team, for those we work with nd those we serve, the sacred respect we hold for our clients, and of course, for ourselves — all of it fosters other essential qualities. It enables communication (needed to understand), collaboration (needed to build), and trust (needed to innovate, make mistakes, and grow). It creates space for sharing different perspectives, for true team belonging, and ultimately, for each person to show up as their most authentic, healthy, and professional self.
