We build interop across
hardware, firmware, cloud, and AI

Prototypes fast. Working hardware and running code in weeks, not quarters —
so you can hold it, test it, and decide before committing to a build.

ESP32-S3 development board

IoT & Connected Devices

From bare-metal firmware to fleet-scale telemetry. ESP32, Raspberry Pi, MQTT, and AWS IoT Core — sensors, gateways, and edge devices that report reliably and stay maintainable once they are out in the field.

Electronics & Hardware

Prototype to product: schematic and PCB design, sensor selection, power budgeting, and enclosure-ready builds. Bench-level hardware work paired with the software that makes the hardware worth shipping.

Enterprise AI Architecture

Design scalable, secure AI platforms built on Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore, and Strands Agents. Integrate Amazon Q and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into your developer and business workflows for measurable, lasting productivity gains.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Three ways to work together — no retainers, no hidden fees.
Free 30-minute discovery call either way, to see if we're a fit.

Hourly

$700 / hour
Billed as used, no minimum. Best for advisory work, architecture reviews, and short engagements.

Project Estimate

Fixed scope, quoted up front
A defined deliverable with a written estimate. Best for prototypes and builds with a clear finish line.

Partnership

Reduced rates plus upside
Royalties, revenue share, or equity for the right product idea. Just ask.
