MEET THE TEAM
Founded by an all-star team.
Misha and Tahin met at Stripe, where they worked on high-scale risk and fraud systems — blending machine learning with distributed systems to protect billions in payments. Across roles at Stripe, Mercury, and Interac, they've spent over a decade building risk systems that turns real-world signals into actionable insight.
With deep experience across AI, engineering, and data science, they started Canonical Labs to solve a hard but common problem: how to catch fraud faster, scale ops without adding headcount, and bring clarity to messy signals. Their work helps financial institutions reduce losses, improve decision systems, and build automation.
Canonical partners with high-growth teams to tackle the problems that traditional vendors ignore — from reducing alert fatigue to unblocking approvals, accelerating market expansion, and bringing AI into production risk workflows.

How we think and work
We build like engineers, think like risk teams, and move like founders. Here's how we work.
Users first
Users first. Canonical second. Team third.
We are ex-Stripes. This is drilled into us.
Ship like it matters
Shipping is the feedback loop that makes us build, deploy, and iterate faster.
Build for the problem, not the solution
We don't guess. We sit with users, read their logs, and watch what breaks.
Every insight starts with proximity to pain.
Precision over polish
We care about clarity and correctness before gloss.
Smart beats shiny. Usable beats ornamental.
Use AI like a power tool, not a crutch
AI accelerates our judgment. It doesn't replace it.
Understand first, build second, automate third.
Small team, big surface area
We do more with less because we trust each other to own things fully.
No handoffs, no tickets for things that can be a Slack DM.
Say the quiet part out loud
Honesty > Harmony.
Assume good intentions, but say the quiet part out loud.
Don't tax momentum with process
If we're debating templates instead of shipping code, something's broken.
We rather be stressed than bored
Challenge is a feature, not a bug.
Humble in judgment, ruthless in standards.
We care more about getting it right than being right.
