What we do
From spec to shipped
Starting from the user's point of view keeps solutions product-focused. We design, architect and build, and we stay deeply hands-on in the code.
Applied AI & agentic systems
What AI can actually do in production: on-device models, LLMs and agentic workflows. Claude Code, Claude Design and V0 are part of our daily workflow, cutting time to market and cost.
Architecture & platform security
Secure integration, performance tuning and DevOps practice across the stack. Five patents pending in document redaction, secure access and session-based digital rights management.
Embedded & IoT
16 years of C, C++ and C# across Unix, Linux, macOS and Windows, in user and kernel mode, interfacing to high-value hardware from proofing printers to set-top boxes.
Design to buildable spec
We prototype in Figma and Sketch, agree direction with product and stakeholders, and hand engineering a clear, buildable spec before a line of code is written.
Technical leadership
Leading cross-functional teams across product, engineering and data science, and helping a team break out of restrictive thinking to do its best work.

Who's behind it
Anthony Davis
Technology Lead · Mobile Team Lead · AI & Software Architecture
With over 20 years in software engineering and team leadership, Anthony builds secure, well-architected software across embedded, IoT, desktop and mobile. He gets up to speed fast and makes a real contribution from day one.
He stays deeply hands-on, working fluently across modern tech stacks, DevOps practices and current AI including LLMs and agentic AI, so he can contribute directly to the code and the architecture. He looks for inventive solutions and enjoys helping a team break out of restrictive thinking to do its best work.
I work best where big-picture thinking meets hands-on execution: set a clear direction, then build the thing that gets there.
