How a small senior team ships ambitious software.
We've wired AI into every part of the delivery chain — discovery, architecture, code, testing, security review, deployment. The routine layer compresses to hours, so senior attention goes where it earns its keep: your integrations, your catalog, the custom logic no template covers. Fewer handoffs, less ceremony, more working software.
- Fixed-scope quotes. No time-and-materials roulette. You see the price before you sign.
- Production-grade. 80%+ test coverage enforced in CI. Security review before launch.
- You own the code. Source repo handed over at the end. No vendor lock-in.
- 4–6 week typical timeline. Some integrations 8–10 weeks. Never 6 months.

How does AI-augmented engineering change what you can build?
It compresses the routine layer of the discovery → architecture → code → review → test → deploy chain, so a small senior team can take on ambitious, custom software without cutting corners. The engineering rigor stays; the senior attention goes to the hard, custom parts of your store.
What kinds of AI apps do you build?
Customer-facing portals (Avalara cert upload), backend automation (order ops, content gen, image gen), AI search & GEO tools, and SaaS products. If it touches commerce data or commerce operations, we have probably shipped one.
Do you use ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini?
We are model-agnostic. Most projects use a mix — Claude for reasoning-heavy tasks, GPT for general dialog, Gemini for multimodal, and self-hosted open models when latency or cost demands it.
What about security and compliance?
Every app ships with JWT auth, HMAC-verified webhooks, rate limiting, audit logging, OWASP Top 10 review, and penetration testing before launch. We routinely ship to merchants with SOC 2 and PCI compliance requirements.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. All custom apps come with care-plan options sized to traffic, uptime SLAs, and integration complexity. Same engineers who built it, same engineers who maintain it.
