// software studio · est. for small business

We build the software small companies were told they couldn't afford.

MaestroPulse is an engineering studio that designs and ships custom, production-grade software — web, mobile, AI and edge systems — at rates that actually work for a growing business.

// 01 — what we do

Full-stack engineering,
without the agency price tag.

You get the same disciplined engineering we use on our own products — designed, tested and documented — scoped to fit a small-business budget.

S/01

Custom Web Applications

Dashboards, portals and internal tools built on modern stacks — fast, secure and yours to keep. No bloated templates, no lock-in.

  • Next.js / React
  • Spring Boot
  • PostgreSQL
S/02

Mobile Apps

Native-quality iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, wired into your backend and ready for the stores.

  • React Native
  • Realtime
  • Offline-first
S/03

AI & Computer Vision

Practical machine learning that earns its keep — vision models, automation and inference running on real hardware, not slideware.

  • ONNX
  • Edge inference
  • Automation
S/04

Edge & IoT Systems

Software that keeps running when the internet doesn't. Edge-first architectures, device orchestration and resilient sync.

  • gRPC
  • WebRTC
  • Edge autonomy
S/05

Cloud & DevOps

Deployments that don't wake you up at night — containerised, observable, and automated from commit to production.

  • Docker
  • CI/CD
  • Prometheus
S/06

Systems Integration

Make your existing tools finally talk to each other — payments, POS, hardware, APIs and legacy systems, stitched together cleanly.

  • Kafka
  • REST / Events
  • Hardware

// 02 — the toolkit

A polyglot stack,
chosen for the job.

We're not a one-framework shop. We reach for the right tool — and we can prove it, because every technology below runs in production on software we built ourselves.

REC CAMERA 03 · TILL 2 00:00:00
meridian · pos-video overlay — every transaction pinned to the exact video moment

// 03 — proof of work · built in-house

Meridian.
Our own product,
in production.

We don't just build for clients — we build and run our own platform. MaestroPulse Meridian overlays real-time point-of-sale data onto live camera feeds, turning every transaction into a verifiable audit trail for fraud prevention and operational visibility.

It runs edge-first across distributed sites — each location records, processes and streams locally and keeps working through internet outages — coordinated by a cloud control plane for identity, configuration and remote video. It's the kind of hard, production-grade engineering we bring to every client.

  • Real-time POS · video overlay

    Every transaction matched to the exact moment on camera.

  • Edge-first autonomy

    Sites stay live during WAN outages — no cloud dependency to record.

  • On-device AI inference

    Computer-vision models running per-camera on real hardware.

  • Multi-site, multi-tenant

    Secure tenancy, RBAC and remote WebRTC video across every location.

// 04 — why small companies choose us

Enterprise engineering.
Small-business economics.

Honest, fixed scoping

We agree on what we're building and what it costs before we start. No runaway invoices, no surprise change orders.

You own everything

Your code, your data, your infrastructure. We hand over clean, documented systems — never a black box you can't leave.

Built to last

Tested, observable, properly architected. The software still works — and still makes sense — two years from now.

One team, end to end

Design, backend, frontend, AI and deployment from the same small team that already shipped a real platform.

// 05 — how we work

A clear path
from idea to live.

  1. 01

    Discover

    A focused conversation to understand the problem, the budget and what success actually looks like.

  2. 02

    Design

    We spec the system, agree the scope and price, and map a build you can follow week by week.

  3. 03

    Build

    Iterative delivery with working software in your hands early — tested and reviewed at every step.

  4. 04

    Launch & support

    We deploy, monitor and hand over the keys — then stick around to help you grow it.

// 06 — let's build
