Systems we've built and run

We don't advise on what we haven't shipped. These are the products behind the techniques we bring to client engagements.

The problem
People save hundreds of videos, threads and articles and never act on them. Keyword search can't find an idea you only half remember.
What we built
An ingestion pipeline across YouTube, X, Reddit, articles and PDFs; hybrid retrieval combining vector and full-text search with rank fusion; a chat interface with citations; and an MCP server so AI assistants can query a user's library directly.
What it taught us
Retrieval quality decides whether an AI assistant is trusted. We tune and evaluate it as its own system, not as a side effect of the model.

The problem
Independent traders need institutional-grade research and review, but won't upload their trading data to someone else's cloud.
What we built
A local-first Windows desktop app that parses platform logs into a local database, runs behavioral diagnostics and backtests with strict anti-lookahead rules, and embeds an AI agent that works over local files. Licensing is verified offline.
What it taught us
Not every AI product needs your data in the cloud. Local-first architecture can be the feature that wins customers who otherwise wouldn't buy.

The problem
Engineering test labs ran sample tracking, results and client reporting through spreadsheets and email.
What we built
A SaaS platform for test lab workflow automation: test management, result notifications and client reporting, designed from a decade of hands-on lab management experience.
What it taught us
The best automation comes from understanding the work first. Domain knowledge beats clever tooling.
