Accepting new engagements for Q3 2026

Bespoke software
for industries that
deserve better tools.

We work two ways. We listen to a company's hardest problems and build custom software tailored to solve them — and we run a growing suite of products you can subscribe to or self-host. Modern, AI-augmented software at a fraction of the usual build time.

Ways to work with us — custom build or subscription
The problem

Industry software is stuck in the past.

Most vertical software still looks — and feels — like it was built in 2008. Labs, trading desks, city planners, manufacturers: they pay a premium for tools they can't reshape, can't audit, and can't extend.

Outdated

Two-decade-old interfaces, brittle integrations, no audit trail, no API.

Overpriced

Six-figure annual licensing for rigid software you can't shape to how your operation actually works.

Off-the-shelf

Vendor 'configurations' that never quite match how your business actually works.

The approach

Proven foundations do the heavy lifting.
Your problem shapes the build.

We carry reusable, production-grade foundations for the primitives most software shares: regulated workflows, time-series pipelines, geospatial math, multi-tenant infrastructure, agentic orchestration. That groundwork is already solved, so a custom build starts years ahead.

On a custom engagement we map those foundations to your domain, data, and processes — delivering software that fits your operation, with deployment and ownership scoped per engagement. When an existing product already fits, you can skip the build entirely with a ready-to-buy product from our suite — subscribed as SaaS or licensed to self-host.

Compliance-first

Regulated workflows

ISO 17025, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, GMP. Audit trails baked into the schema, not bolted on.

Realtime

Time-series & quantitative

High-throughput market data, signal pipelines, backtesting infrastructure, broker integrations.

Spatial

Geospatial & simulation

WGS84 ingestion, procedural generation, GPU-instanced rendering, GIS-to-Cartesian math.

Infra-isolated

Multi-tenant SaaS

Infrastructure-isolated tenancy, per-customer VPCs, declarative IaC, zero-trust posture.

Edge-native

Consumer PWAs

Offline-first progressive web apps with edge data, image pipelines, and zero-cost operations.

AI-augmented

Agentic systems

Multi-agent orchestration scaffolds across Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity — the engine behind our delivery speed.

Selected work

Ten projects.
Across very different domains.

A mix of custom client engagements, subscription products, and reference builds. Several are in development — we believe in showing the work, not just the outcome.

LIMS — Multi-Tenant Lab Information System mockup
Regulated labs · ISO 17025/13485 In development

LIMS — Multi-Tenant Lab Information System

A modern alternative to legacy LIMS platforms — infrastructure-isolated per-tenant deployment with a compliance audit trail wired in from the schema up.

AutoBot — Algorithmic Trading Desktop mockup
Quantitative finance In development

AutoBot — Algorithmic Trading Desktop

A trader-grade desktop platform built on the principle of "honesty over flash" — the UI refuses to render numbers it does not have, and watermarks heuristics until they pass real-data validation.

Cities: Skylines 2 mod · geospatial In development

Holographic City Blueprint — Cities: Skylines 2 Mod

A mod for the city-building game Cities: Skylines 2 that imports any real-world city — pulled from OpenStreetMap data — straight into the game. A showcase of the procedural-generation and geospatial engineering behind it, with a reusable C# math core.

ShilosSilo — Personal Media Inventory

Scan a barcode on a book, CD, or board game and a searchable home library populates itself with cover art — running entirely on the Cloudflare free tier.

How We Build — AI-Augmented Delivery Pipeline

The AI-augmented multi-agent pipeline behind our delivery — a lead orchestrator directs implementer and independent reviewer agents through gated review loops, with durable, compaction-safe handoffs.

Educational game · UE5 simulation In development

NLSim — Aurora-Guiding Business Simulator

An educational open-world business-simulation game where the player runs an aurora-guiding and astrophotography operation in Iceland — learning real space-weather forecasting, photography, and Iceland geography along the way.

CoachUp — Operating-System Platform mockup
Contact-center operations In development

CoachUp — Operating-System Platform

An opinionated platform that sits on top of Calabrio and Verint, then refuses single-number scores, low-sample averages, and formal reviews that surprise the agent. The dashboard that won't lie under pressure.

The Operational Manual

The 337,000-word operating system that CoachUp compiles into software — sixty-one chapters, six role books, a Translation Guide across four industries, and the cost calculators that go with them.

Wise Old Man of Isle Royale

A local-first operating platform for an Isle Royale outfitter — trip planning on NPS public route data, cashier, rentals, guide hours, customer portal, and an audit log that watches every dollar, seat, and bear canister.

How we work

A four-phase engagement,
built to fit how you work.

01

Discovery

We map your workflows, regulatory surface, integrations, and data shape. You leave with a written spec — yours to keep either way.

02

Solution design

We map the problem to the right shape — a custom build on our production-grade foundations, or an existing product from our subscription suite when it already fits.

03

Tailored build

Iterative delivery driven by an AI-augmented multi-agent dev pipeline. You see weekly working software, not slide decks.

04

Launch & support

We ship it to production. Hosting and ownership are scoped per engagement — from a managed subscription through to a self-hosted handoff — with an optional retainer for ongoing maintenance and feature work.

About

A solo studio,
augmented by AI.

AK Software Solutions is a founder-led practice combining hands-on systems engineering with an AI-augmented multi-agent dev pipeline. We've built projects across regulated manufacturing, quantitative finance, geospatial simulation, consumer apps, and an educational simulation game.

We take on a small number of custom engagements at a time, and we run a small suite of subscription and self-hosted products alongside them. Every client gets the principal engineer and software shaped around the way they actually operate.

What you get

  • Custom builds — software tailored to your problem, with deployment & ownership scoped per engagement
  • Subscription & licensed products — multi-tenant SaaS you subscribe to (e.g. LIMS) and self-hosted products you license and run in your own perimeter (e.g. CoachUp)
  • Documentation & onboarding aimed at the people who actually use the system
  • Flexible engagement models — from a single build to ongoing partnership
  • Transparent pricing, agreed up front before any work begins
