Interconnection Automation
FullCtl was founded in 2022 with a mission to make secure interconnection possible for everyone everywhere through information sharing and advanced automation.
Vision
Unlocking and unleashing the world's collective intelligence through increased interconnection.
Stay Humble, Stay Foolish
These words from Stewart Brand over 50 years ago still resonate with us.
We stay humble by remembering how small a part we really play in the vast Internet ecosystem. All we really do is build and host a set of simple tools to help organizations and individuals connect their networks together more effectively, securely, and reliably.
We stay foolish by daring to believe that our simple, intuitive, and practical interconnection automation tools and services will contribute meaningfully to this grand experiment in human communication that is the Internet.
Our Core Values
For Engineers by Engineers
One of our great strengths comes from our decades as engineers, in the trenches making networks work. This experience informs everything we do. We’re here to help engineers do their jobs better, faster, stronger, and more securely. Our job is to augment the limited number of available experts, allowing them to continually do more and more.
Open & Transparent
We open source as much of our software as possible. Find it here on GitHub. In addition to allowing access to our code, we are open and transparent with our knowledge and experience as well. We share what we know every chance we get, both in person and online.
Creative Technology
Engineering is inherently creative. We seek to make it more so. Innovation is in our blood, sweat, and tears. We don’t just think outside of the box, when necessary we build a new box. Networks must remain stable, but our approach to managing them must remain fluid and open to improvement as the technology advances.
Internet For All
We believe that the Internet is a resource for all of humanity. This leads us to seek out opportunities to help grow and foster interconnection and automation everywhere in the world. We seek out unserved and underserved people, communities, and locations and do what we can to help.
