Services
The work the studio takes on, from a whole stack product build down to a single architecture decision. Every engagement maps to the same stack. The map shows where the layers sit and how they connect.
01 · Software Development
Backends, APIs, internal tools, customer facing products. Mobile and web applications. The baseline work the studio takes on, when the problem is well shaped and the constraint is delivery, not novelty.
02 · Product & Platform Engineering
When you need the whole thing under one roof: engine, platform, API, front end, mobile scaffold. Our in house timetable engine is the worked example. The decisions at the core reach the decisions at the surface without a handoff seam.
03 · Technical Consulting
The work you do before the rewrite. We sit with your engineering leadership, map the access patterns and failure modes, and write a decision record you can point to in six months. No retainer; no vendor lock in. About half the engagements that start as a review become a Product & Platform Engineering build with us afterwards.
04 · AI Powered Workflow Development
Replace fourteen hours of manual triage with a one minute script that runs again on demand. Idempotent stages, structured logging, replay capability, refuse to run when inputs are insufficient. The archive automation case study is the worked example.
05 · Enterprise & Institutional Systems
DPDP and RBI compliance designed in, not bolted on. Multi tenant isolation at the database, client side field level encryption on sensitive PII, audit trails reconcilable against the same row level policies that gate reads. The BFSI MIS engagement is the worked example. Our institution grade web design practice, where compliance, accessibility, and public disclosure obligations are built into the site, sits alongside it.
06 · Design and Brand Surfaces
Print ready document trade dress for client facing deliverables. The visual layer of an engineering practice, not standalone agency work. The Roobaroo restaurant marketing site is the worked example; the Vellum & Verdigris brand on our own SanadEx product is another.
07 · Documentation and Technical Writing
When a codebase is shipped without a runbook, the rewrite begins the day the next engineer joins. We write documents that survive the project, in the voice of the team that has to operate them. Not marketing copy.
What is not included
Turning the wrong work away is the studio posture, not a limitation. Four things we decline, on purpose.
We take engagements with a shape and an end state, not seats on your board to bill against. No retainer, no vendor lock in.
Design and brand surfaces are the visual layer of an engineering practice here. We do not run brand work that is not attached to a system we are building.
Pricing is scoped to the work, not quoted off a list. Visitors who ask are routed to Aika, which holds the table.
When a problem is better served elsewhere, we say so and point you to who should take it. Turning the wrong work away is the point.
