Defense and tech veterans prototyping better technologies for those serving at the front lines.We're working on technology for the DOD by providing rapidly developed prototypes that our operators can put their hands on, explore and learn from. This deeper understanding enables far higher fidelity in requirements for traditional follow on requests.Our team is a set of broad-spectrum engineers who've built careers in Robotics, ML, Vision and Perception systems - who love to build. We can turn low fidelity requirements into a library of potential solutions, derive deeper requirements and built prototypes against those in record time.

Created lots of neat services including the highly scalable toolbar interface that handled every page view from every user.Created bookmarks and diary back-end for the toolbar that allowed users to get at their stuff anywhere on the web and managed the data between multiple computers. Created servlets that automated websites, munged images, generated PDFs, processed bar codes, and aggregated search results.Wrote crawlers that indexed sites into Lucene.Created hardened in-page DHTML that would allow UI to be placed in any site without fear of design variance.Debugged the http protocol and networking issues.Created a build system in Ant that saved countless developer hours.Built most of the internal business logic inside of the Toolbar in javascript. Created libraries of regular expressions that were able to aggregate data bits from websites.This place was so much fun I had to go back.
