Selected work

Two examples of what we build

Purring Lotus

AI-powered shipping operations

Purring Lotus is our team's own e-commerce business. Its system uses AI to extract shipping rates from courier PDFs, then combines those rates with product weights, margins, and other business data to calculate shipping rates for each market. A complicated operational process becomes much easier to manage.

How Purring Lotus turns courier PDFs into shipping rates Five steps, top to bottom: courier PDFs, AI extraction, rate tables, combined with product weights, margins and other business data, and shipping rates per market.Courier PDFsAI extractionRate tablesCombined with product weights,margins and other business dataShipping rates per market

Infralyst

Automated cloud cost optimization

Infralyst is a B2B SaaS platform that helps businesses optimize their AWS spending. It is still being built; the work covers product architecture, engineering, automation, and delivery.

Our practical AI experience also includes AI-powered regtech, AI-assisted engineering workflows that significantly accelerate delivery, and AI for research and operational workflows such as international shipping, taxes, duties, and landed-cost calculations.

How we work

We start with your problem, not the technology.

  • Business-firstWe understand the actual problem before selecting tools or technologies.
  • PragmaticWe use AI where it makes sense, and conventional software where that is more appropriate.
  • Hands-onWe both identify opportunities and implement them.
  • Production-mindedWe prioritize maintainability, reliability, security, and real-world usefulness.
  • Outcome-focusedWe deliver useful improvements without unnecessary complexity or process.
