Hardware, app, and cloud as one project.
One team across the hardware integration, the mobile app, and the AWS-based telemetry pipeline. No vendor handoffs, no blame loops, no system that nobody owns end to end.
Three shapes of IoT work we keep being asked for
Different starting points, same team across hardware, app, and cloud.
Your product is the device and the app, not one or the other.
You're shipping a physical device — locks, sensors, controllers — and the experience has to land on a phone too. We deliver hardware integration, the mobile app, and the cloud as one team so the boundaries between layers don't become handoff problems.
- Native iOS and Android with BLE / NFC / cellular reliability tuned to your hardware.
- Cloud telemetry pipeline sized to your unit economics.
- App Store and Play Store submissions including hardware-permission flows.
BLE-connected hardware with mobile companion and cloud data.
BLE wearables and health devices stand or fall on connection reliability and data integrity. We build the companion app, the sync layer, and the backend that survives flaky connections and intermittent users.
- BLE protocol design tuned for reliability under real-world conditions.
- Offline-first sync with eventual cloud consistency, not just "online or broken".
- Data integrity and privacy aware — encrypted at rest, scoped by user, auditable.
Fleet-grade telemetry, access control, and monitoring.
Gate access, climate control, monitoring, fleet telemetry — the workflows behind these are operational, not consumer. We build with the operations team in mind: audit trails, permissioning, and dashboards that actually get used.
- Permission and access management with guest, vendor, and audit-log scoping.
- Real-time status surfaces — built for ops dashboards, not just consumer apps.
- Operations-grade reliability targets, designed in, not bolted on.
Concrete deliverables, across every layer
Hardware, app, and cloud handled in-house. Every layer engineered alongside the others — no vendor blame circles.
Hardware integration (BLE / NFC / cellular)
Protocol design, pairing flows, command paths, and reliability tuning — across BLE, NFC, and cellular IoT — by engineers who know the failure modes.
Native and cross-platform apps
Native Swift / Kotlin for hardware-heavy paths where platform reliability matters; React Native / Flutter when cross-platform wins. Chosen against your team and product, not religion.
AWS-based telemetry pipeline
IoT Core, MQTT, Kinesis, Lambda, RDS — sized to your device count and message rate. Cost-aware from day one, not after the bill lands.
Access and permission management
Owner, guest, vendor, and admin scoping. Time-bounded access. Audit logs. Designed for the workflows operations teams actually run.
Offline-first sync
Connections drop. Apps go to background. Phones get rebooted. The sync layer handles all of it without losing data or surfacing errors to the user.
App Store + Play Store submission
Provisioning, signing, hardware-permission language for the store reviewers, phased rollouts, and review-cycle handling — we do the whole submission gauntlet.
Discover. Design. Build. Ship.
The same four-phase model adapted to IoT's particular hazards: protocol gotchas, flaky connections, and operational dashboards that have to work for people who aren't engineers.
Discover
Hardware-cloud-app boundary mapping. Where does state live? Where does retry logic sit? What's the security model? We answer these before writing protocol code.
- Boundary map
- Security model
- Reliability targets
Design
Protocol design, telemetry schema, mobile UX, and infrastructure design move together. The hardest part of IoT is the seams — we engineer them deliberately.
- Protocol spec
- Telemetry schema
- Infra architecture
Build
Senior engineers ship in two-week sprints across hardware integration, mobile, and cloud — without dropping balls between disciplines.
- Production-grade code
- CI/CD pipelines
- Test coverage where it counts
Ship
Phased rollouts with feature flags. Real-world reliability is monitored, not assumed. We don't hand over and disappear — IoT has long tails.
- Monitoring & alerting
- Runbooks
- Post-launch support
Native where it counts, boring everywhere else
Platform-native for the hardware command paths. Conventional AWS for the backend. The scoping call is where we make the call together.
Swift + Kotlin
Native, for the BLE and cellular command paths where platform reliability is non-negotiable.
React Native + Flutter
Cross-platform, when team economics or feature parity outweigh hardware-path specifics.
AWS IoT Core + MQTT
Pub/sub telemetry, device shadows, and rules engines for fleet-scale messaging.
Docker + CI/CD
Reproducible builds across firmware-adjacent services, app pipelines, and backend.
Mobile + IoT + cloud for a US storage operator.
Native iOS and Android apps with IoT-controlled gate access, climate control, and real-time unit status. Paired with an AWS backend (EC2, S3, RDS), Dockerized, with CI/CD pipelines and App Store + Play Store releases handled in-house.
Got a connected-device project? Let's scope it together.
Discovery calls are for the hard early decisions — protocol, platform, infra, store strategy. Estimates are for when those are settled.
