How we engage

Four engagement shapes, designed to compose. Most relationships start with the smallest scope and grow as the trust does.

Architect of record

Embedded at architect altitude

We embed with your team at principal-architect level. We ship platform code, run code review, mentor your engineers, and own the architectural voice. The perspective of an outside operator with the commitment of someone on payroll.

Talk about this
  • Architectural decisions you can point at
  • Platform code we wrote, not just slides
  • Mentorship and code review for your team
  • Documented decisions, not tribal knowledge
Modernization

Bring a legacy product forward without losing the customers

A fixed-scope rebuild of a legacy application onto a current platform — UI, API, identity, and delivery, planned and shipped as a single coordinated package. We've done the migrations the playbooks gloss over.

Talk about this
  • New UI, API, identity, and CI/CD in one engagement
  • Customer continuity through the cutover
  • Reference architectures from real shipped systems
  • A team that knows where the rocks are
Platform foundations

Stop reinventing the same wheels

We stand up the foundational front-end and the shared UI + API templates your product teams will build on. Opinionated, documented, generated once and reused — instead of three teams making three subtly different versions of the same thing.

Talk about this
  • Foundational front-end with federation
  • Shared templates for UI and API teams
  • Component library with type-safe consumption
  • Delivery patterns that survive environment rotation
Cloud edge & identity

One chain of custody from edge to identity

Often the smallest, highest-leverage way to start a relationship. We own the edge of the cloud — certificate lifecycle, secret hygiene, network posture, and identity provider work — as a single chain of custody, not as five vendor outputs.

Talk about this
  • TLS / certificate lifecycle on cloud-edge services
  • Infrastructure-as-code with proper secret hygiene
  • Identity provider deployment, migration, or evolution
  • Network-posture work on managed data services
Where we fit

The shapes we work in best

Organizations standing up an engineering org

Post-spinout, post-acquisition, or post-leadership-change. You need senior architecture decisions made quickly and you don't have time to hire three specialists for the same scope.

Legacy products that have to be modernized in place

The product is paying the bills and the platform is holding the team back. You can't pause for a rewrite and can't afford to lose customers in the cutover.

Federation programs that are drifting

Micro-frontends are easy to start and hard to keep stable. We've shipped them at production scale on a customer-critical platform.

Identity that's overdue for a rethink

Migration off an aging IDP, evolution of an in-house SSO, or first-time deployment for a team that needs federated identity right.

Specialized capabilities

Beyond the platform stack

Two areas where our own products forced us to go deeper than typical web platform work.

AI infrastructure

Inference plumbing, not just chat features

Built into Codec, our token-native binary transport for AI APIs. We work at the protocol level — where gateways, routers, and agents move data — not at the wrapper-around-an-LLM-call level.

  • Token-level transport for AI inference
  • Tokenization and cross-vocabulary handoffs
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool integration
  • Binary serialization with compression (gzip, brotli, zstd)
  • Streaming protocols designed for inference workloads
Codec → codecai.net
Embedded systems

Real-time analyzers on constrained hardware

Built into Mass Zero, our fleet operations product for aerial drones. The onboard recorder runs analyzers and tuning hooks directly on the airframe — embedded C++ work on hardware that has to behave under stress.

  • Embedded C++ on resource-constrained targets
  • Real-time signal processing and analytics
  • ESP32 firmware — sensors, BLE, Wi-Fi, RS232, GPS
  • Mesh-radio bridging (Meshtastic, MeshCore)
  • Drone flight-controller integration (INAV, ArduPilot, ELRS)

Let's find the right starting scope.

Most engagements begin with a scoped piece of work that proves the relationship before either side commits to more.
