What the studio builds

  • AI automation

    Agentic assistants and workflows that take over manual operations, built to be observable and to fail gracefully.

    • Claude
    • Ollama
    • n8n
  • Web scraping

    Reliable data extraction from dynamic, JavaScript-heavy sites, with proxies, headless browsers and clean, deduplicated output.

    • Playwright
    • Scrapy
    • Python
  • Data mining

    Useful signal from messy sources: clustering, entity matching, enrichment and long-running pipelines.

    • Pandas
    • DuckDB
    • Embeddings
  • Big data ETL

    Raw feeds turned into a queryable warehouse, with streaming, change capture and repeatable transforms.

    • Airflow
    • dbt
    • Postgres
  • AI consulting

    Independent advice on what to build, buy or skip: model choice, prompt design, costs and guardrails.

    • Strategy
    • Architecture
    • Review
  • Custom websites

    Sites built on the studio's own PHP framework, with deep WordPress experience, instead of page builders.

    • PHP
    • WordPress
    • Kinsta

How an engagement runs

  1. Discovery

    Audit the code and constraints and talk to the people involved, before any quote.

  2. Architecture

    System diagrams, data contracts, a security model and a cost plan, agreed before building starts.

  3. Construction

    Small iterations, automated tests, a staging copy and weekly written updates.

  4. Stewardship

    Monitoring, runbooks and a proper handover, with optional ongoing support.
