Deploy

I build and wire the full system: website, automations, hardware, and AI workflows.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a systems retainer?

A monthly plan that covers your website, automations, hardware integrations, and AI workflows under one invoice. Think of it as an embedded systems team for your business.

How fast can you get started?

Most clients are live within 1–2 weeks after the systems audit. Hardware may add a few days for sourcing and assembly.

What if I only need one part, like a website or an ESP32 device?

You can start at Digital Core and add modules later. The tiers are designed to grow with you.

What technologies do you specialise in?

Our stack is Angular, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Home Assistant, ESP32, and AI agents like Hermes/Paperclip. If it connects, we can integrate it.

What happens after the system launches?

The retainer covers monitoring, updates, small changes, alerts, and ongoing optimization. You never have to wonder if your site is up or your automations are working.
