Meet the team

Trade experience and software engineering, working side by side.

Tradio is led by Anton's real-world understanding of trade businesses and developed through a close, iterative collaboration with Codex.

FounderProduct lead

Anton de Beer

Python coder and software developer

Anton ran his own construction company for over a decade. That experience gave him a direct view of what makes a trade business work, where time gets lost, and how quickly paperwork can pull attention away from customers and jobs.

He brings that practical judgment into every part of Tradio, combining it with Python and software development skills to shape a product made for the realities of the trade, not an abstract office workflow.

Codex

AI coding and development collaborator

Codex is the AI coding collaborator woven into Tradio's development. It helps Anton inspect the codebase, turn product ideas into working features, test changes, strengthen security, and manage careful releases to the live service.

Codex is not a substitute for Anton's experience or decisions. Its role is to bring sustained engineering attention to the process, helping the team move from a practical problem to a tested solution while keeping the product coherent as it grows.

How we work

A conversation that becomes a product.

Anton brings the problem, the context, and the instinct for what a tradesperson will actually use. Codex explores the existing system, challenges unclear edges, and carries the idea through design, implementation, testing, and deployment.

The partnership is iterative rather than automatic. Ideas are tried, questioned, improved, and sometimes changed completely. That steady exchange is an integral part of how Tradio has grown from a simple quote and invoice tool into a connected platform for running a trade business.
