Auction houses, engineered.

Sotheby's and Christie's shaped how the world buys art for three centuries. We build the digital-native successors — bidding floors, consignment ops, escrow and live event run-of-show — on Azure, .NET, Next.js and PostgreSQL. The HipHopGrails platform is our reference build.
