A small body of work,
built to last.

Real-time treasury operations console, replacing a 12-year-old desktop suite.
Care navigation app
Patient-facing iOS + web companion. Sub-100 ms perceived latency end-to-end.

Routing engine
OR-Tools backed dispatch service. 38% reduction in last-mile costs at pilot scale.
Considered work, in three disciplines.
Product engineering
End-to-end delivery — discovery, architecture, build. We compose teams around your problem and ship in tight, predictable cycles.
- Web & mobile
- API & infra
- Performance & SRE
Design systems
Token-first design and engineering systems that scale across surfaces. The result: faster teams, fewer regressions, a brand that compounds.
- Design tokens
- Component libraries
- Documentation
AI integrations
Pragmatic LLM integrations — RAG pipelines, structured generation, evaluation. We focus on what actually moves the metric, not the demo.
- RAG & search
- Agentic workflows
- Eval & observability
Patient discovery.
Decisive execution.
A simple four-step rhythm that scales from a two-week prototype to a multi-quarter platform engagement.
Understand
We start by listening — to your customers, your team, your data. Outcomes are framed before lines are drawn.
Architect
We design for the next three years, not the next sprint. Every decision is documented and reversible.
Build
Small batches, frequent demos, no surprises. Ship the spine first, then the feathers.
Steward
We don't disappear at launch. Observability, runbooks, and quarterly reviews keep the system healthy.
Have an ambitious idea?
Let's talk.
We work with a small number of teams each year. The best way to start is a 30-minute call — no slides, no preamble, just your problem.
