Senior engineering · Embedded or end-to-end
Commercial products and defense programs, wherever software acts on something real. That might be field hardware on a disconnected network, or AI agents with write access to money and records. We embed with your team or take the project from start to finish, and we make these systems bounded, observable, and recoverable.
LLM gateways, per-tenant cost attribution, and security hardening for agents in production. Automation that holds up against external APIs.
Air-gapped field software, secure hardware integration, and on-prem AI, backed by seven years building Type 1 encryption devices for NSA programs.
Join your existing development organization, or hand us the project from start to finish. Same senior team either way.
Most software can afford to be wrong for a while. The systems we work on usually can't. They program devices that go into the field, run where the network is the exception, and let AI act on money, records, and deployments. In those systems, a wrong assumption is an operational failure.
Our bench includes engineers with 20+ years of delivery across commercial and government work, including seven years building Type 1 encryption devices in support of NSA programs. That range shapes how we work on everything: define the boundary, prove it with tests, and keep a record of every change.
Embedded with your team. We join your existing development organization and work in your repos and tooling, alongside your engineers. You get senior capacity across strategy, UX, architecture, and implementation without managing a separate vendor. Our longest engagement has run across several products this way.
Start to finish. We take a project from idea to production ourselves. That covers requirements, design, architecture, implementation, release, and handoff. We can also take over a codebase someone else started, stabilize it, and keep it shipping.
AI agents that ask before they act. On a commercial platform where AI agents act on contractors' money, we put an LLM gateway and per-tenant cost attribution into production and closed the security holes around the agents. Read the case study
Disconnected and air-gapped field systems. For a federal security program, we took over an inherited desktop tool that provisions wireless field devices over a custom serial protocol. We stabilized it and built a hardware-free simulation so it could be tested anywhere. It shipped 44 tagged releases over about 13 months of our work. Read the case study
Reliable automation against external systems. For a platform that trades through a brokerage API every minute, we added AI-call tracing, quota alerts, daily caps on AI spend, and an audit trail of every notification sent. Read the case study
We use the same controls on ourselves. We use AI coding agents in our own delivery, through a control plane we built. QA is a hard stop for a human, and the 1,150+ tests run with no network. See our tooling
