Consultancy for demanding real-time software

We embed with your team to architect, accelerate and de-risk the software at the heart of real-time devices. Engagements range from a focused performance review to owning a system's architecture end to end.

Real-time system architecture

The overall shape of a device's software: threading and concurrency models, data-acquisition pipelines, timing budgets, buffering, and graceful behaviour under load and failure. We've done this for precision test gear and the same principles carry into industrial control and automation.

C++Real-timeEmbedded

Ultra-high-performance algorithms

Profiling, redesign and implementation of the hot path — cache-aware data structures, SIMD, lock-free techniques and better algorithms — to hit latency and throughput targets others can't reach.

AlgorithmsC++Vectorisation

Geometry & numerical methods

Computational geometry, coordinate transforms, interpolation, fitting and signal processing — implemented carefully for both speed and numerical robustness.

GeometryMathPrecision

Data analysis & pipelines

Turning raw measurement streams into trustworthy results: acquisition, validation, transformation and visualisation, plus the Python tooling and automation around it.

Networking & distributed systems

Custom and standard protocols, device-to-device coordination, time synchronisation, and resilient communication across unreliable links.

User interfaces

Operator and engineering UIs that stay responsive while a system runs hard — native desktop in Qt/QML, or web front-ends in HTML5 and modern JavaScript.

How we engage

Three ways to work with us

01

Architecture & design

We design the system — or review yours — and hand you a clear, buildable plan with the risky parts identified early.

02

Performance engineering

A targeted engagement to make a slow or unreliable subsystem fast and dependable, with measured before/after results.

03

Hands-on development

We build alongside your engineers, delivering production C++/Python and the UI to go with it.
