Most businesses have at least one problem that off-the-shelf software almost solves. The gap between "almost" and "actually" is where custom software lives — and where most dev shops quote you a price with a comma in the wrong place.
What we build
- Embedded systems and device firmware — microcontroller firmware, sensor integration, and hardware control systems, built for reliability in the field. We design software that runs for years without a reboot, because much of what we build protects property while nobody's watching.
- Linux applications — native desktop and server software, performance-first, compiled for your hardware. No Electron bloat, no browser-in-a-box pretending to be an application.
- Computer vision and AI integration — object detection, video analytics, and intelligent alerting built into real workflows, running on your hardware with your data staying yours.
- Automation and integration — the glue code that connects your point-of-sale to your bookkeeping, your phone system to your CRM, your cameras to your alerting — systems that were never designed to talk, made to cooperate.
- Legacy software rescue — keeping the industry-specific software your business depends on alive, documented, and safe, even when the original vendor has vanished.
How we're different from a dev shop
You own everything. Full source code, build environment, and written documentation are deliverables on every project — not an upsell. If we disappeared tomorrow, any competent engineer could pick up where we left off. That's not a risk to us; it's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Engineering judgment, not billable-hour maximization. Sometimes the right answer is a 200-line script, not a six-month platform. Sometimes it's "buy this $40/month product instead of paying us." We'll tell you either way, because our reputation in this town outlasts any single invoice.
A modern toolchain, honestly used. We build with the best tools available — including AI-assisted development, which lets a disciplined engineer move at a pace that used to take a team. Every line still gets reviewed, tested, and stood behind by a human engineer with 25+ years of systems experience. The speed is new; the accountability isn't.
Fixed scope, honest quotes. Projects are specified in writing before they're priced, priced before they're built, and supported under clear terms afterward — no open-ended meters running.
Proven in production
The software practice behind this page isn't theoretical. We've built and shipped video management system components in modern C++, embedded alarm controllers running in commercial deployments, video analytics pipelines protecting Duluth properties tonight, data recovery tooling that rescued nearly three terabytes of a client's critical footage, and the publishing engine serving the very page you're reading.
One free conversation about the problem you're trying to solve — we'll tell you honestly whether custom software is the right answer, and what it would take.
