ENGINEERINGTHE IMPOSSIBLE.

Software, AI, compute, systems and engineering solutions for problems that don't have ordinary answers.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

"AI" IS AN UMBRELLA TERM.
WE SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

We're not an AI agency bolting a chatbot onto your product. AI is one tool in the kit — what we sell is your business problem, solved, end to end. Whatever that actually takes, we do it and let the rest follow.

ANY PLATFORMANY INFRASTRUCTUREANY CODEBASEEMBEDDED & IoT HARDWAREYOUR FRIDGE'S CONTROL BOARDYOUR CAR'S ECU

If it has a circuit board, we can probably make it smarter — we've reverse-engineered everything from PLC control panels to a PS2's vector units. A fridge's controller or a car's ECU is just another embedded target.

REAL WORLD

Where the problem actually lives

03 / CAPABILITIES

THE PROBLEM DETERMINESTHE TECHNOLOGY.

Six engineering disciplines. One studio that moves between them as the problem requires.

Software Engineering

Enterprise software, web applications, backend systems, APIs and the infrastructure that holds them together — built to fit the problem, not a template.

AI / LLM Engineering

Custom LLM development, fine-tuning, private and local AI, retrieval systems and autonomous agents — deployed on infrastructure you control.

GPU LLM Compute

GPU inference, model serving and dedicated compute — the layer between your application and the hardware that runs your models.

Systems Engineering

Linux development, kernel and driver work, networking, proxies and unikernels — low-level engineering for when the application layer isn't enough.

PLC & Industrial Automation

PLC design and programming, control systems, sensors, actuators and the software that turns industrial hardware into a coherent system.

Engineering Design

Technical specifications, system architecture, engineering documentation and implementation planning — the design work that precedes and accompanies a build.

COMPUTE

We host on unikernels, not just VMs.

ADG Compute infrastructure runs single-purpose unikernel images where it counts — no general-purpose OS to boot, no idle services, no unnecessary attack surface. The result: application instances that are up in milliseconds, not seconds.

SIMULATED HOST — QEMU/KVM · 4 vCPU · 4096MB RAM · virtio-net / virtio-blk

BOOT PROGRESS — SIMULATED, COMPRESSED TIME

UNIKERNEL — 0ms UBUNTU 22.04 — 0ms

Simulated QEMU boot logs — illustrative, not a literal benchmark of a specific image. The order and order-of-magnitude gap are representative of real unikernel vs. general-purpose OS cold-boot times.

04 / RALPH

SOFTWARE THATBUILDS ITSELF.

An autonomous engineering methodology: inspect the repository, implement against a specification, run and test the result, fix what's wrong, and repeat until it's genuinely done.

Autonomous coding loops
Specification-driven development
Repository inspection before implementation
Automated implementation and testing
Failure detection and iterative correction
Persistent project state across iterations

05 / RALPH IDE

AN IDE THAT WRITESITS OWN SPEC.

A project we're building: point it at your LLM of choice, describe the problem, and it drafts a RALPH_SPEC.md, then builds and verifies against it — in a loop, in a terminal, until it's done.
