Machina is a small consultancy and development company specialized on Apache Tapestry, the Java programming language and Hibernate.
Machina is located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Currently, our team has one member, Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo, who's also the Machina's owner.
The company's original name was Ars Machina[1]. As far as we know, Ars Machina is "art of computing" in Latin. We would never claim that what we do is art or that it's perfect, but we believe that building good software is not just science, technique and good practices, it is an art too. Software development always leaves, and often needs, some room for creativity. Important decisions are made all the time during software development. That's where its art is.
