Foundry ⁄ Engineering studio ⁄ Est. MMXXIV
We design, build, and operate mobile applications, custom AI automations, and senior-led consulting engagements for operators who can't afford another half-shipped quarter.
01Disciplines
Every Foundry engagement is one of three shapes. We turn down work that doesn't fit. The shape determines team, cadence, and scope; everything else is tailored.
Native iOS and Android applications. Swift, Kotlin, and React Native — chosen based on what the project actually needs, not on what's fashionable.
Custom agentic workflows on Claude, GPT-5, and open-weights. Document pipelines, sales co-pilots, internal copilots, and the evals that keep them honest in production.
Diagnostic engagements for teams about to commit to a roadmap. Embedded principal engineering when an internal team is one senior shy of shipping. Retainers for AI strategy and model upgrades.
02Approach
Four phases, in order. We tell you which phase you're in, what's done, and what's slipping — in writing.
A half-day onsite (or remote workshop), technical diligence on the stack and team, and a written diagnostic. Fixed fee. You can stop here and still own the artefact.
Production codebase from the start — no "throwaway" branches that quietly become the system. Regular demos, with the principal on the keyboard.
Production rollout, monitoring, runbooks, and a written handover that a third-party engineering team could pick up cold. We do not leave a project less explicable than we found it.
An ongoing retainer for evals, model upgrades, cost work, and the small features that keep a product honest. Optional.
03Selected work
Roughly half of Foundry's work is under NDA. These three were chosen because the clients agreed to be named and the numbers held up under audit.
Mistwood Atlas
A regional insurer in Hartford was spending eleven days quoting commercial property risk. We rebuilt the intake-to-bind pipeline as a Claude-driven workflow with a thin internal iPad app for adjusters in the field.
Halcyon Health
Halcyon needed a patient-facing iOS app that nurses, not engineers, could maintain. We built a Swift client, a CMS for care-plan authoring, and a HIPAA-aligned data layer the internal team has owned since week eleven.
Daedalus Group
Daedalus was reading 1,800 borrower documents a quarter, by hand. We shipped an internal copilot in six weeks that drafts the first pass, surfaces flags, and routes exceptions to the analyst best placed to clear them.
04From the operators
Foundry is the only studio where the principal who scoped the engagement also wrote the production code. We shipped in nine weeks what our internal team had estimated at fourteen months.
