About Mexin
A decade of building and operating production systems.
Our Story
Mex Smits
Founder
Mexin was founded by Mex Smits, who started building websites at the age of 10 from his mom's attic room. By 14, he had launched CraftiGames, a Minecraft gaming network that quickly grew into a platform serving hundreds of thousands of players every month. What started as a passion project turned into a full team, real infrastructure challenges, and over a decade of hands-on engineering.
That experience, from keeping servers up under pressure and handling massive traffic spikes to building internal tools and managing data pipelines, is the foundation of Mexin. Today, we offer the same battle-tested expertise to other companies. We build backend systems, manage cloud infrastructure on AWS and Cloudflare, and run data platforms.
We don't just build infrastructure. We run it. Our team has been doing this day in, day out, for years. We know what it takes to keep production systems running because we've been doing it with our own platform the whole time.

Mission
To build and run technology systems that just work, so our clients can focus on their product instead of worrying about infrastructure. Good engineering should make things simpler, not more complicated.
Engineering Philosophy
Reliability First
We think about what happens when things go wrong. Monitoring, alerting, and testing under realistic conditions are part of how we build.
Proven Technologies
We pick tools we know and trust. Technology selection is driven by project requirements, not hype.
Measurable Outcomes
We agree on what success looks like upfront and track it through delivery. Clear goals lead to better outcomes.
Operational Excellence
Building a system is half the work. We invest in monitoring, deployment automation, and documentation so things keep running smoothly.
Our Team
A team of 5+ backend engineers, infrastructure specialists, and data engineers. Many of them have been working together for years, growing up alongside CraftiGames and taking on client projects along the way.
We keep things flat and practical. Technical decisions are made by the people doing the work, not by managers reviewing slides.
