We design and build agent-native custom software architectures from day one. Instead of simply building bolt-on API wrappers, we deploy multi-agent orchestration systems (like our Commander Architecture), run local secure LLMs to slash token expenses by 40–70%, and modernize legacy Microsoft ecosystem codebases to modern AI-native structures.
It is our proprietary 5-agent pipeline framework. High-tier cloud models (like Claude Opus) act as 'Supreme Commanders' to analyze complexity and structure task files, which are then processed at high concurrency by local models (like Qwen on Ollama) at around $0.001 per task, drastically lowering API costs.
By integrating custom prompt caching strategies and context-aware semantic routing, we achieve a prompt cache hit rate of ~90%. This bypasses redundant processing of duplicate context instructions to dramatically slash monthly token bills.
We specialize in modern high-performance tech stacks: Next.js/React, Drizzle ORM, SQLite/PostgreSQL databases, .NET Core 8 cloud services, React Native/Expo for mobile apps, and cognitive frameworks such as Semantic Kernel, FastAPI, and Neo4j Knowledge Graphs.
We implement secure architectures by deploying local LLMs inside your virtual private cloud (VPC), ensuring sensitive data never leaves your environment. We also establish strict end-to-end data encryption, audit trails, and role-based access control.
Yes, we specialize in converting legacy systems (WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET WebForms) to modern, distributed systems built on modern .NET 8, micro-frontend architectures, and containerized Docker services running in AWS/Azure.
A typical proof of concept (PoC) takes 2 to 4 weeks. Full enterprise agent orchestration systems or multi-agent swarms integrated with your legacy APIs take about 8 to 12 weeks to build, test, and deploy to production.
Absolutely. We build React Native applications using local SQLite databases (via Drizzle or WatermelonDB) that can perform complex tasks offline and sync changes securely with the cloud server once internet connectivity is restored.
Speculative decoding uses a small, fast model to suggest draft tokens, which are verified in parallel by a larger target model. This speeds up text generation by 2x to 3x and cuts down latency without losing output quality.
Yes. All custom code, agent system designs, proprietary database configurations, and custom integration scripts developed during our engagement are 100% owned by your company from day one.
