The workshop's ledger
Five ways to commission us.
Every engagement starts with a short consult, then a scoped, fixed-deliverable build — no open-ended retainers unless you want one.
Business Process Automation
The workflows eating your team's hours — data entry, report generation, file wrangling, multi-system handoffs — rebuilt as reliable automations. Agentic where judgment is needed, deterministic where it isn't. Delivered as maintainable code you own, not a no-code subscription you rent.
Custom Agentic Development
Desktop applications, CLI tools, CAD software plugins, and systems software — developed with agentic tooling (Claude Code, Antigravity) at production quality, primarily in Rust and Python. You get the velocity of AI-assisted development with the discipline of per-task commits, tests, and traceable decisions.
Edge AI & Local LLM Deployment
llama.cpp servers with custom harnesses on your workstations, on-prem servers, or Jetson-class devices. Model selection, quantization, serving, and the agent loop on top — proven by the open-source Animus Ferric harness. For teams whose code and data can't leave the building.
Agent Skills & Workshops
Custom harness-agnostic skills for your team's workflows — built on the same architecture as Sprint Loops, GECK, and MDR — plus hands-on agentic-development workshops: loop engineering, context management, and the habits that make AI-assisted teams actually ship.
CAD & 3D Design — Commissions & Lessons
Commissioned parametric designs — jigs & fixtures, corporate branded gear, gaming assets, manufacturing equipment — delivered print-ready. And 1-on-1 Autodesk Fusion courses in geometry and additive manufacturing for commercial, enthusiast, and academic students.
How a commission works
01
The conversation
A short consult to understand the problem — what eats your hours, what can't leave your building, what you want to hold in your hands.
02
The pattern
A scoped proposal with concrete deliverables and a fixed shape — you know what's being woven before the loom starts.
03
The build
Progress you can watch in a repo, commit by commit, until the work is in your hands and running on your hardware.
