Home automation, custom applications, and business process automation. Practical, simple, built to last — and handed over so your team can actually run it.
We're a small studio that treats each of these as proper engineering, not a checklist. Everything is designed to be maintainable by the people who have to live with it.
Local-first smart homes that actually work offline. Lighting, climate, energy, security — stitched together with Home Assistant, ESPHome, and the right hardware.
Personal tools and scalable products. Next.js + Postgres + sensible infra. Built to ship, easy to extend, boringly reliable.
Replace spreadsheets, emails, and copy-paste with software that does the work. We map the process, then automate the painful parts first.
No vague retainers that burn down without a trail. Every engagement has a scope, a price band, and something concrete to show at the end.
