Core competencies

  • Custom software development

    Full-lifecycle web and mobile delivery: Next.js and TypeScript for web applications, native SwiftUI for iOS, native Kotlin for Android, and React Native where a shared codebase fits. Every engagement ships with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production observability.

  • Cybersecurity services

    Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing for applications and infrastructure, and fractional CISO advisory for growing teams, delivered through the SentryProbe platform, plus clear reporting for auditors and leadership.

  • AI and automation engineering

    RAG pipelines and LLM integrations built on AWS Bedrock and Anthropic Claude, plus agent-based software delivery pipelines with Pipemason, with run-cost budgets tracked on every workflow.

  • Cloud platform engineering

    Multi-cloud platform engineering across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud: event-driven architectures, microservice deployments, infrastructure as code for every environment, and IoT and telemetry platforms.

Differentiators

  • This is principal-led delivery: the owner architects and delivers every engagement personally, backed by 20+ years shipping software and about 10 years leading engineering teams.
  • Products, not just services: CrashBytes builds and operates Pipemason, a software delivery pipeline SaaS, and SentryProbe, a security testing SaaS.
  • Multi-cloud production experience across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, so agencies are not locked into a single vendor's ecosystem.
  • Veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned: SDVOSB set-aside and sole-source contracting pathways open once SBA certification is issued, plus an Ohio VFBE bid preference pending certification.
