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.
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.
Two-decade-old interfaces, brittle integrations, no audit trail, no API.
Six-figure annual licensing for rigid software you can't shape to how your operation actually works.
Vendor 'configurations' that never quite match how your business actually works.
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.
Regulated workflows
ISO 17025, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, GMP. Audit trails baked into the schema, not bolted on.
Time-series & quantitative
High-throughput market data, signal pipelines, backtesting infrastructure, broker integrations.
Geospatial & simulation
WGS84 ingestion, procedural generation, GPU-instanced rendering, GIS-to-Cartesian math.
Multi-tenant SaaS
Infrastructure-isolated tenancy, per-customer VPCs, declarative IaC, zero-trust posture.
Consumer PWAs
Offline-first progressive web apps with edge data, image pipelines, and zero-cost operations.
Agentic systems
Multi-agent orchestration scaffolds across Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity — the engine behind our delivery speed.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Onboarding Skeleton
A vendor-neutral reference build for consultant-led customer onboarding — autosaving workbook with optimistic locking, push-as-job to any external system, and an audit log that survives deletion.
A four-phase engagement,
built to fit how you work.
Discovery
We map your workflows, regulatory surface, integrations, and data shape. You leave with a written spec — yours to keep either way.
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.
Tailored build
Iterative delivery driven by an AI-augmented multi-agent dev pipeline. You see weekly working software, not slide decks.
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.
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
