Spokane, WA · Custom Software + AI

Custom software for Spokane — built the AI-native way.

We pair senior engineers with an AI-accelerated delivery model to ship custom software for Spokane's healthcare, advanced-manufacturing, and B2B operators — without the fragile output that gives AI a bad name.

Senior-only engineering · AI-accelerated delivery · you own 100% of the code

AI changed the economics of custom software. We rebuilt our process around it.

Spokane hosts the largest healthcare and advanced-manufacturing market in the Inland Northwest — home to Providence and MultiCare's regional footprints, the Fairchild Air Force Base community, and a growing aerospace-component, agriculture-tech, and B2B SaaS scene. Senior hires are six figures, months out, and picked over by regional health systems, manufacturing employers, and a steady remote-coastal pull. AI changes the math, but only when senior people own the parts AI gets wrong.

On a Spokane healthcare or manufacturing build, AI handles the repetitive 70% — schemas, scaffolding, CRUD, dashboards, glue. The 30% AI gets wrong is the part provider engineers, shop-floor operators, or your compliance team will catch: PHI access without audit logging, race conditions on a shop-floor write, integration with bespoke MES or EHR systems AI invents instead of reads, and idempotency on claims or order webhooks. Raw AI output ships those silently.

We build for Spokane operators — provider-side platforms shipping into Providence- and MultiCare-scale ecosystems, shop-floor and supply-chain apps for Inland NW manufacturers, B2B SaaS shipping into mid-market regional buyers, ag-economy software for the Palouse, and modernization of decades-old enterprise stacks. Our model: AI handles scaffolding and the repetitive 70%; a senior engineer owns architecture, security review, and signs off on every change.

Show, don't tell

AI writes the first draft. A senior engineer signs off.

Every change runs through review for security, tests, and architecture before it ships — that review is the product.

On a Spokane healthcare or manufacturing build, the failure modes are missing PHI audit trails, shop-floor race conditions, and out-of-order MES events. Senior review catches them before a HIPAA review or a line stoppage does.

What we build for Spokane companies.

Healthcare

Healthcare & HIPAA-ready apps

Patient-facing portals, clinician tools, and care-coordination platforms built to HIPAA from day one.

Manufacturing

MES, IIoT & production software

Shop-floor systems, plant analytics, and supplier portals that connect old machines to new tools.

Product

SaaS platforms

Multi-tenant products with auth, billing, and dashboards — MVP to scale.

Modernize

Modernization

Move legacy systems onto a modern, maintainable stack — incrementally, no big-bang.

AI

AI applications

Copilots, RAG, search, and agents grounded in your data, with guardrails and evals.

Internal

Internal tools & copilots

Operations tooling that replaces the spreadsheet-and-tribal-knowledge workflow.

Senior, on-shore, AI-accelerated

A senior team that moves at AI speed.

You work with senior engineers in Pacific Time who own architecture, regulated-environment quality, and integration with EHR and MES — fitting into a downtown Spokane health-IT cadence, a Spokane Valley operations standup, or a Coeur d'Alene B2B PR review — not a junior pool with raw AI output bolted on.

Spokane's senior engineering pool is concentrated around regional health systems, manufacturing employers, and a smaller venture-backed bench — three-to-six months to hire and steadily pulled by Seattle and remote coastal roles. An AI-native team gets you shipping this week, flexes monthly, and doesn't need a downtown office.

Common questions from Spokane teams.

Do you work with Spokane companies?
Yes — we serve Spokane, Seattle, and Portland companies with senior, on-shore engineers in Pacific Time. Most collaboration is remote-first, with on-site available for kickoffs and key milestones.
Do you build for HIPAA-scoped regional provider systems?
Yes. We architect for HIPAA from day one — encryption, access logging, audit trails, BAA-friendly data handling — and we've worked alongside provider-side data flows at regional scale. We don't certify your compliance; we build code your compliance team can audit without rework.
Can you integrate with shop-floor MES, ERP, and PLM systems?
Yes. We've integrated with SAP, Oracle, Plex, Epicor, and a long list of legacy MES and PLC-adjacent systems. We map your existing integration contracts and build adapters AI can't invent — because they're real, undocumented, and AI doesn't know them.
Is AI-built software production-ready?
Yes — when a senior engineer reviews every output, adds tests, and hardens it. The horror stories come from shipping raw AI code unsupervised. We don't, and we support what we ship.
Will we own the code?
100%, from day one. We deliver to a repository you control — no proprietary platform, no lock-in.
How fast can we start?
Usually within days. A short scoping call defines the build, the timeline, and a fixed quote.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes — we augment in-house teams, review their work, and set standards, or run the build end to end. We flex to how you work.
