Bridging the Gap Between Hardware & Cloud.
NYC Engineering-Focused software that drives real-world operational excellence.
Featured Work
Engineering Custom Solutions When Standard Software Fails
From the factory floor to the cloud, see how we bridge the gap between physical hardware and digital intelligence using Flutter, React, Power Apps, and custom IoT edge devices.
Shop Floor Video Library & Player
Engineered a custom Power App deployed directly to the manufacturing shop floor. It allows operators to instantly load, search, and stream safety and training videos natively within the Microsoft 365 environment.
PRINTED & DEPLOYED
CAD · THREE-COMPONENT SHIELD
Custom AV Camera Enclosure
When a commercial AV partner needed to protect a wall-mounted Blackmagic micro camera without sacrificing the room's aesthetics, we engineered a custom two-component shield — designed in CAD, 3D-printed, and deployed on standard 1/4-20 mounts.
Labor Compliance & Break Tracker
When an NYC restaurant's off-the-shelf POS system couldn't handle strict NY labor compliance laws, we built a standalone React dashboard on .NET and Azure SQL. It tracks employee breaks in real time to keep every shift legally compliant.
Enterprise Teams Command Center
Architected a “headless” Power App using MS Graph API to bypass Microsoft Teams' native limitations. Eliminates browser-redirect friction and consolidates cross-team project channels.

PRINTED ENCLOSURE · CM5 I/O
Custom Edge IoT & Smart Hardware
We don't just write cloud software; we build physical interfaces. Actively developing custom smart-home and commercial AV control panels utilizing Raspberry Pi CM5 modules and Waveshare touch displays — from notebook sketch to printed enclosure to live dashboard.
Recent integrations: custom React dashboards interfacing with the Hubitat Maker API for Zigbee networks, and voice-control layers for whole-house audio where standard commercial AV fails.
