Solutions
Start from the problem, not the technology.
Five industries we know well, and five packaged engagements with a timeline and an indicative budget. Pick the nearest one — the first call is then about fit rather than about what a quote might look like.
Packaged engagements
Fixed scope, a timeline, and a starting price from the rate card.
What we build
One partner for the entire product.
Twelve capabilities that usually live in as many different vendors. We keep them under one plan — so the design, the code and the silicon are decided together, not in sequence.
Mobile Applications
Native iOS & Android and cross-platform apps with device pairing, offline behaviour and clean store releases that pass review the first time.
- iOS & Android
- React Native

Games, 3D & Interactive
Unity and Unreal games, 3D art and character work, architectural visualisation, VR / AR / XR, 3D animation video and motion graphics — art and code from one studio, playable prototype to store release. There is a playable demo on the page.
- Unity & Unreal Engine

Why teams choose us
Built to remove the seams that break products.
Most product failures happen at a handover — design to engineering, software to hardware, launch to maintenance. We're organised to make those seams disappear.
One team, no handover gap
The expensive failures in digital products happen at the seam between disciplines. Design, software and hardware sit in the same review here.
Agile, ship-early delivery
Working units and release candidates early, so decisions are made against something real instead of a slide.
Scalable architecture
We build the version that survives your fiftieth thousand user — clean data models, observability and staged releases from day one.
Real AI expertise
Dedicated AI engineers deploying LLMs, RAG and edge vision in production — not bolted-on wrappers, but systems that make decisions.
Transparent communication
An engineer reads your brief, not a form queue. Clear scope, honest trade-offs, and a reply within one working day.
Enterprise-grade security
Role-based access, audit trails, secure firmware update paths and data handling built to stand up to an audit.
Modern technology stack
Current frameworks and platforms chosen for the next five years of the product, not the last five.
Long-term partnership
Most clients stay on a maintenance retainer. We optimise for the second year of the relationship, not the invoice.
Selected work
Real shapes of projects we're called in to build.
Each is a genuine class of product we deliver, shown as a demonstration build we own rather than as a client engagement. The client work itself sits under NDA and is walked through on a call.

Live builds
35 real applications, open in your browser.
Not screenshots — the actual production bundles, built and owned by us to demonstrate a class of product. Grouped by the kind of business each one was built for, so you can go straight to the row that looks like yours. Client engagements are under NDA and are talked through on a call.
In build
Two products of our own, on the way.
Client work pays for these. Each page below says what the product is and deliberately not how it works — design partners see the rest under NDA.

Stellix — the network engineer that never sleeps
A box that sits on a network, notices the fault before anyone rings in, and says in one sentence what broke and where. Built for the layers nobody else instruments — the cable, the switch, the link to the ISP — and it runs entirely on site, air-gapped if that is what the building needs.

AppealIQ — the appeals department that never writes a claim off
Most denied medical claims are never fought, because fighting one costs more in staff time than the claim is worth. AppealIQ reads the denial, works out why it happened, drafts the appeal with the payer's own policy cited, files it and chases it to a decision — with a human approving every letter before it leaves.

How a project runs
Eight stages, each with something you can hold or open.
A predictable delivery rhythm with a decision point you control at every step — from the first sketch to the retainer that keeps it running.
01
Discovery
We pin down what the product must do, cost and survive — the constraint that worries you most first.
02
Research
Users, domain, technical feasibility and the competitive edge worth building toward.
03
Strategy
Scope, architecture and a delivery plan with decision points you control.
04
UI/UX Design
Wireframes, interactive prototypes and a design system your product grows into.
05
Development
Software, cloud and — where needed — firmware and hardware, built against one plan.
06
Testing
Automated and real-condition testing; we fix what only the field reveals.
07
Deployment
Store releases, cloud rollout and staged over-the-air updates without downtime.
08
Maintenance
Ongoing releases, monitoring, security and features on a predictable retainer.
By the numbers
A focused team, structured to avoid the handover.

Not ready to talk?
Take the checklist instead.
The lists we work through with clients, published in full with no form in front of them — including the parts where the honest conclusion is that you should not start the project yet.
The people behind it
Who you are actually hiring.
A small team, named in the proposal, with the engineer who scoped the work still on it when it ships.

- A technical call, not a sales call
- You speak to the engineer who would scope it
- Replies within 1 working day
- No charge, and no obligation to proceed
Most agencies that say “end to end” mean they will subcontract the half they do not do. We started this one because the handover between the firmware team and the app team is where connected products quietly fail — and nobody owns that seam.
So we own it. The board, the firmware, the cloud, the app and the dashboard are one plan with one team answerable for all of it. When something does not work at the boundary, there is no second vendor to point at.
The other thing we decided early: say the unprofitable thing out loud. If a rule engine beats an AI model for your problem, we will tell you, and we will lose the bigger project. Roughly a third of our discovery calls end with us recommending something smaller than the client came in asking for. The ones that go ahead after that conversation tend to stay for years.
— Sourabh
The engineer who scoped it
Whoever runs your discovery call stays on the project. Scope is written by the person who will have to build to it, which is the cheapest way we know to keep an estimate honest.
Hardware and firmware
Schematic, PCB layout, C/C++ firmware and the bring-up. The part most software shops subcontract and most hardware shops will not pair with an app team to do.
Product and platform
Design, front end, backend, cloud and the admin surface — built as one system rather than as three handovers.
A named owner after launch
On a retainer you get a specific engineer who knows your system, not a shared queue. You will have their name before you sign.
Instead of testimonials
We would rather publish commitments you can hold us to than quotes you cannot verify.
Client work sits under NDA, and a quote without a name and a company is worth nothing to you. Named references are available on request at proposal stage — the people who would give them are the reason we are careful about asking.
We will talk you out of it
About a third of our discovery calls end with a smaller recommendation than the one the client arrived with — a rule engine instead of a model, an integration instead of a rebuild, or nothing at all this quarter.
Fixed price against a written scope
Not a day rate that drifts. Change requests are quoted and approved before they start, and the rate card for every capability is published on this site.
Your code, your cloud, from day one
Source in your repository from the first commit and infrastructure in your account. There is no part of what we build that you have to keep renting from us.
We write down what we are not
No SOC 2, no ISO 27001, no regulatory submissions, no criminal-record checks. Where a vendor would stay quiet, we put it on the page.

FAQ
Questions we hear before the first call.
If yours isn't here, send it in your brief — an engineer will answer it directly.
Digital products, end to end: web and SaaS platforms, mobile apps, AI systems, cloud backends — and, when the product needs it, the custom hardware and firmware beneath. Most software teams stop at the API; we can take a product from a breadboard to the app store.
Tell us what the product has to do.
We'll tell you what it takes.
Startups, enterprises and product teams — from a napkin sketch to a fleet in the field. One team, concept to production.
