What MATECHS does

MATECHS (legally Matechs Digital Ltd.) is a London-based private digital consultancy founded in 2020 by Michael Arnaldi and co-founded by Mirela Prifti. The company delivers three core service lines: web accessibility and usability consulting (WCAG audits, accessibility training, UX evaluations, and custom accessibility guidelines), web design and development (UX/UI, technical SEO, CMS-driven websites, and Webflow implementation under its Webflow Professional Partner status), and TypeScript and functional programming training courses ranging from 16 to 24 hours in duration. Its service catalog also includes a newer Team Extension / IT Headhunting line for staff augmentation.

The firm's technical centerpiece is the Effect open-source ecosystem (@effect-ts/core, @effect-ts/system, @effect-ts/node, @matechs-effect), a functional effect system for TypeScript authored by founder Michael Arnaldi. Effect introduces a novel Higher-Kinded Type encoding and generator-based Do syntax intended to improve over fp-ts, and is supported by an active Discord community and GitHub contributor base. The library is tightly coupled with the company's training curriculum (e.g., Functional Effects in TypeScript, Cutting-Edge Functional TypeScript, Classic Functional TypeScript, Event Sourcing/CQRS) and serves as a top-of-funnel marketing asset.

Commercially, MATECHS operates a direct, sales-led, and community-led go-to-market: all services are bespoke with contact-based or Calendly-scheduled pricing, distributed globally via Zoom-enabled workshops and direct consulting engagements. Strategic partnerships with Webflow (co-marketing and referrals), Ziverge (joint FP workshops), and Contentlayer (ecosystem validation events) extend reach. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding, no public revenue figures, no named enterprise logos, and no disclosed headcount, operating primarily from the UK with global service delivery.
