Services

Narrow on purpose. Deep where it counts.

Everything below is something we have built and operated ourselves. If your problem is outside this list we will say so and, where we can, point you to someone better placed.

01

Applied AI & LLM engineering

We take language models from demo to dependable service. That means schema-enforced APIs, retrieval that is grounded in your data, agents with clear tool boundaries, and honest evaluation against simple baselines before anything ships.

  • RAG and retrieval pipelines over proprietary data
  • Structured, schema-validated model outputs
  • Agent and tool-use design with guardrails
  • LoRA fine-tuning of open-weights models
  • Local inference with Ollama on commodity hardware
  • Replayable evaluation harnesses with baselines
  • Token and cost reduction: caching, dedup, routing
02

Trading & fintech systems

We have built and operate a production trading platform end to end: signal ingestion, order routing across multiple brokers, verified execution, ledger reconciliation and per-strategy risk caps. We bring that operating experience to client systems.

  • Broker integrations: Interactive Brokers, Tradovate, Alpaca
  • Futures, options (including SPX 0DTE) and equities
  • Verified execution and broker-to-ledger reconciliation
  • Risk guardrails: daily caps, give-back protection, kill switches
  • Strategy research, backtesting and shadow-mode validation
  • TradingView and Pine Script tooling
03

Data platforms & pipelines

Reliable data is the boring half of every AI project. We build ingestion with retries and dedup, time-series stores with retention policies, replay tooling for backtests, and dashboards that show what the system actually did.

  • Market and event data ingestion
  • MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Parquet
  • Backtest and replay infrastructure
  • Operational dashboards and audit trails
04

Product engineering

Small senior teams shipping complete products: TypeScript front to back, typed APIs, CI on every pull request, and deployment on the cloud provider that fits your budget.

  • Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind
  • Node.js and Python (FastAPI) services
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Docker
  • AWS, Vercel, Render and similar
05

Speech & Indic-language AI

We evaluate and integrate speech models for Indian languages, where general-purpose tools often fall short. Batch pipelines, vendor comparisons and quality checks that hold up on real audio.

  • Batch transcription pipelines
  • Vendor evaluation (Sarvam, Whisper and others)
  • Post-processing and quality review workflows
06

AI adoption & automation

Most teams do not need a research project; they need one workflow automated well. We find it, build it, measure it, and teach your team to own it.

  • Workflow and process automation
  • Prompt design with measured outcomes
  • Internal tools and copilots
  • Team enablement and code review

How we work

Weeks to a working slice. Evidence before scale.

The shape of every engagement is the same: agree what success means in numbers, build the thinnest thing that can be measured, then harden what earns it.

  1. 011–2 weeks

    Discover

    We map the workflow, the data and the decision being made. We agree, in numbers, what a successful outcome looks like before writing code.

  2. 022–6 weeks

    Prototype

    A thin, end-to-end slice on your real data, alongside a simple baseline. If the AI does not beat the baseline, you find out now, cheaply.

  3. 03Ongoing

    Harden

    Evaluation suites, guardrails, reconciliation, observability and cost controls. This is the work that turns a demo into something you can rely on.

  4. 04Your call

    Operate

    We run it with you, review it weekly, and either hand it over to your team or keep operating it. No lock-in either way.
