Custom systems.
Continuously built.
CSAS for companies whose software is their business. We design, engineer and run the system around how the company actually works.
Design + engineering
One team, one loop
Production first
Built to run, not demo
CSAS
Custom software as a service
01 / Selected systems
Software that had to work.
Three systems, three different constraints. The common thread: production, not a prototype that never leaves the room.
365 NFTs. One transaction.
A specialized market for complete BasePaint year collections. Atomic bundles, a custom contract and a product built around one collector problem.
What is missing.
1st place · BasePaint Year 3 Hackathon · FOR COLLECTORS
A profile for any BasePaint wallet: owned days, missing days, scarcity and the next useful action. No wallet connect, no database.
Rules that hold.
Daily time budgets for distraction sites, enforced at the network level. Local-only, no accounts, no analytics layer.
02 / Capabilities
One system, five disciplines.
No handoff between strategy, interface and code. The same team carries the context from first question to production.
Product
Discovery, scope, user flows and the decisions that shape the build.
Product / strategyDesign
Interface, identity and prototypes that make complex systems understandable.
UI / UX / identityEngineering
Next.js, React, TypeScript, APIs, data and production infrastructure.
Fullstack / infraAI systems
Agents, retrieval, evaluation and AI features that survive real users.
Agents / RAG / evalsWeb3
Smart contracts, wallets and on-chain products where they make sense.
Contracts / wallets03 / The model
SaaS is dead. Long live CSAS.
Custom software as a service: we build the system around the company, then keep it alive.
01 / Discover
Learn the process.
Map the workflow, exceptions and the true cost of the current tools.
02 / Design
Design the system.
Product, interface and architecture shaped around the business.
03 / Build
Ship the first version.
Working software in production, not a deck with a future roadmap.
04 / Run
Stay and improve.
Operate, measure and evolve the system as the company changes.
04 / Lab notes
Built in the open.
Open source and side products, separate from client work. These are the tools we build when no one asks.
05 / Writing
Our CTO writes the blog.
Notes on custom software, AI systems and the work behind them. Follow along on the blog or on X.
06 / Start a conversation
Bring us the system. We will make it work.
Tell us what the business runs on today and where it breaks. We will answer with a point of view, not a brochure.
