Focus areas

Structured like a project—not a single image.

IoT systems

Connected products that operate reliably across constrained power, bandwidth, and compute.

  • Edge gateways, sensors, and industrial monitoring
  • Device identity, provisioning, and fleet operations
  • Observability: metrics, logs, and safe diagnostics

Security

Security is a product feature—built from the boot chain to the cloud boundary.

  • Threat modeling and abuse-case analysis
  • Secure boot, update pipelines, and key handling patterns
  • Hardening, segmentation, and least-privilege services

AI at the edge

Practical inference: latency, privacy, and cost within embedded constraints.

  • Model selection and deployment tradeoffs
  • Quantization and performance profiling
  • Safety and failure modes (fallback paths, guardrails)

Semiconductor enablement

Hardware/software co-design for systems that ship: drivers, firmware, and integration.

  • Bring-up support and platform validation
  • Performance/power characterization
  • Reference architectures for productization

What we build

Examples of outcomes and deliverables.

Trusted IoT Edge Security (TIES)

A security-first system blueprint for connected devices—focusing on identity, updates, and robust operational controls.

  • Boot chain design: measured boot + attestation-ready foundations
  • Update strategy: signed artifacts, staged rollouts, safe rollback
  • Operational model: audit-friendly logs and deterministic recovery

Edge inference integration

Bring AI from demo to product: performance, safety, and maintainable deployment workflows.

  • Runtime selection and hardware acceleration strategy
  • Latency and throughput profiling on target silicon
  • System boundaries: privacy-by-design data handling

How we work

Clear steps, measurable progress, safe-by-default.

1) Define the system

We map the real constraints: security boundaries, latency, power, cost, and update cadence.

2) Model threats and failures

We identify what could go wrong—then design mitigations that still allow the product to ship.

3) Prototype and validate

We build the minimum viable architecture and measure it on target hardware, not assumptions.

4) Productize

We harden, document, and hand off with reproducible build/deploy practices.
