Custom software development
Full-stack product work — mobile, web, and the API layer that holds them together. Shipped to real users, versioned, and maintained through the unglamorous years that follow the launch.
Software that outlives its launch.
We build custom software, design the architecture underneath it, and engineer AI into the parts of a business where it actually pays off — then stay on to keep it running.
Services
Four ways we work with you
Most engagements start with the first two.
Architecture & technical consulting
Reviewing a system you already have, or designing the one you are about to build. Layered boundaries, honest trade-offs, and a written record of why each decision went the way it did.
Managed maintenance & integration
Keeping production systems alive: dependency and platform upgrades, CI/CD pipelines, third-party integrations, and the migrations nobody wants to own.
AI & data engineering
Putting AI into a workflow so it holds up under real use — model integration, agent orchestration, data pipelines, plus the guardrails and cost controls that decide whether any of it survives contact with production.
Work
What we have built
An engineering system for working with AI agents
A working answer to the question every team is now asking: how do you get real output from AI coding agents without quietly losing control of quality, cost, or your own engineers' judgement?
It encodes verification rules that each came out of a specific production failure — a test suite that silently stopped running while its gate stayed green; an empty query result mistaken for absent data; a change reported as shipped whose pull request had never merged. It routes work across model tiers by cost, tracks spend against thresholds, and runs adversarial review on anything load-bearing before it lands.
- agent orchestration
- verification gates
- cost observability
- multi-vendor routing
WhaleClues
A market-research product built and operated end to end — static edge-served site, application backend, content pipeline, and an analytics layer, deployed on Cloudflare with security headers, structured data, and a deployment gate that refuses to publish when generated pages have drifted from their sources.
- Cloudflare Pages
- edge deployment
- content pipeline
- SEO / structured data
A multi-platform accounting SaaS
A native Android app, a web application, and a layered .NET API serving both — with payment reconciliation against Stripe, server-side PDF report generation, and multi-language support retrofitted years after the original build.
The part worth pointing at is not the first release. It is that the release train still runs: crash fixes, tax-rule changes, platform SDK deprecations, and build pipelines that keep working while the services underneath them change. That phase is the one most engagements are never set up for.
- Android
- .NET
- Stripe
- CI/CD
- long-term maintenance
Approach
How we work
Done means verified, not "it compiled"
A passing gate that never actually ran is worse than a failing one. Test gates assert expected counts; a deployment is proven layer by layer — merged, deployed, running — never inferred from any single one of them.
The reasoning ships with the code
Configuration and infrastructure carry comments explaining why they are the way they are, including what was tried and rejected. The next person to touch it — often you, without us — inherits the reasoning, not just the result.
Straight answers about trade-offs
If a simpler approach would serve you better, we say so before the invoice, not after. Every recommendation comes with what it costs you, not only what it buys.
We stay after launch
Software is not finished when it ships; that is when it starts accruing maintenance. We are set up for the multi-year part, and we price for it honestly.
