Service — IoT & embedded systems

The software side of physical systems.

Devices in the field are hard to reach, easy to brick, and unforgiving about power and connectivity. The software has to assume all of that from the first line, because a bad update can mean a truck roll.

Firmware and device software

On a device, a crash is not a page refresh. It has to recover on its own.

Embedded software written against real constraints — memory, power, and real-time deadlines — with recovery paths for when something goes wrong in the field.

  • Deterministic behaviour under memory and timing constraints
  • Watchdogs and safe states for every failure mode
  • Fail-safe over-the-air updates with automatic rollback

02 / 3

Edge computing

Sending everything to the cloud is a design choice, and often the wrong one.

Processing pushed to where the data is created, so the system keeps working when the connection does not.

  • Local processing and buffering with store-and-forward sync
  • Clear split between edge decisions and cloud decisions
  • Degraded-mode behaviour defined for extended outages

03 / 3

Telemetry and fleet management

One device is a project. Ten thousand devices is an operations problem, and it needs to be built for.

Provisioning, monitoring, and staged updates across a fleet, so a device population can be understood and changed safely at scale.

  • Secure provisioning and per-device identity from manufacture
  • Fleet health telemetry with alerting on drift and failure
  • Staged rollouts by cohort, with a stop button that works

Engineering Principles

Three things we hold to.

How we approach every engagement — the non-negotiables that keep systems maintainable, compliant, and buildable.

RULE 01 // FOUNDATION

Assume no one can reach it

Every design decision is checked against a device that cannot be physically visited.

Enforced in architecture review
RULE 02 // EXECUTION

Updates must be reversible

A field update that cannot roll back is a risk we do not ship.

Verified in automated CI pipeline
RULE 03 // GOVERNANCE

Security starts at manufacture

Identity and key provisioning are part of the production line, not a later firmware release.

Engagement Outcomes

Production deliverables you own from day one.

Every engagement produces tangible codebases, automated pipelines, and operational specs your internal team actually runs.

DEL-01PRODUCTION CODE

Production Web Architecture

Full TypeScript React/Next.js product application built with strict schema validation, responsive state, and role-based permissions.

  • Clean Git history with semantic commits
  • Full end-to-end runtime & type safety
  • Edge-optimized data fetching & caching
DEL-02DESIGN SYSTEM

Enterprise Component Library

Documented component system enforcing consistent typography, spacing, accessible color contracts, and micro-interactions.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance
  • Storybook / isolated component docs
  • Zero-runtime CSS token architecture
DEL-03PERFORMANCE

Core Web Vitals Harness

Automated performance instrumentation guaranteeing sub-second load times and distributed real-user monitoring.

  • Strict budgets: LCP < 0.9s & INP < 150ms
  • Automated Lighthouse regression CI gates
  • Real-user monitoring & error telemetry
DEL-04HANDOVER

Operational Specs & Runbooks

Comprehensive architecture blueprints, deployment guides, and structured pairing sessions for your internal engineering team.

  • Self-healing production deploy scripts
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
  • Paired engineering team transition

Tell us what you are trying to build.

Bring the constraint that worries you most. That is usually the fastest way to work out whether this is the right service for the job.
