Proptech / Smart Living / Mobile + IoTSTAK — Intelligent Living
The digital layer of Behring Co's "Full Stack Real Estate" platform: one app where residents of 452 smart apartments at Oakland's 1900 Broadway unlock doors, book amenities, resolve building issues, earn rewards — and schedule a Tesla from the on-site fleet in seconds.

STAK — Intelligent Living
The digital layer of Behring Co's "Full Stack Real Estate" platform: one app where residents of 452 smart apartments at Oakland's 1900 Broadway unlock doors, book amenities, resolve building issues, earn rewards — and schedule a Tesla from the on-site fleet in seconds.
452 smart apartments5 Oakland locationsOne resident super-app
▸Read the case studyClose case study
One platform running 452 apartments, two coworking locations and a shared Tesla fleet — used by more than 1,000 residents and members every day.
The challenge
Resident services, coworking operations, payments, reservations and door access ran as a fragmented set of separate systems across five properties.
What we built
A Flutter resident app, a React operations platform, and one API behind both — carrying payments, reservations, visitors, parking and access control.
How it works
The platform reaches into the building itself. A backend call doesn't end in a screen updating, it ends in a door opening, a bay assigned, or a Tesla booked.
- Client
- FlutterReact
- Services
- Node.jsGraphQL
- Platform
- PostgreSQLAWS
The result
One app runs door access, payments, amenity bookings and the Tesla fleet across 5 Oakland properties and 452 apartments — every day, for more than 1,000 people.

McLaren Formula 1's digital collectibles platform, powered by Hedera — free limited-edition artwork drops every race weekend of the 2026 season, bringing fans closer to the team. Race weekends don't move; neither do launch dates.

McLaren F1 — MCL/COLLECT
McLaren Formula 1's digital collectibles platform, powered by Hedera — free limited-edition artwork drops every race weekend of the 2026 season, bringing fans closer to the team. Race weekends don't move; neither do launch dates.
Live at collectibles.mclaren.comA drop every race weekend
▸Read the case studyClose case studyAuthenticated F1 collectibles for McLaren Racing fans: a drop every race weekend, 100K+ redemptions, and no crypto wallet to figure out first.
The challenge
Blockchain-backed ownership normally drags mainstream racing fans through a crypto-first experience before they ever reach the thing they actually wanted.
What we built
The full route from discovery to ownership: featured drop pages, race-specific claim windows, a personal garage, public collector profiles and a season archive.
How it works
Ownership is recorded on Hedera, but sign-in is Privy. Wallet mechanics are folded inside the claim flow rather than presented as separate crypto tooling a fan has to learn.
- Client
- React 19TypeScript
- Services
- PrivyEthers.js
- Platform
- HederaAWS Amplify
The result
Fans claim authenticated collectibles on Hedera without ever meeting a crypto wallet — over 100,000 redemptions, one race weekend at a time.

AI TeamScout
An AI recruiting advisor built for the athlete — personalised school fit, NIL guidance, coach outreach, and a recruiting plan that updates as their stats do.
Live productAI evaluation engine
▸Read the case studyClose case studyA full-stack AI recruiting platform that pulls public recruiting profiles into one conversation and turns them into a ranked shortlist of schools.
The challenge
Recruiting information is scattered across recruiting sites, school pages, stats databases and social platforms. Athletes and families piece it together themselves, then make the decision on it.
What we built
A conversational recruiting advisor on top of a real product: athlete profiles, saved conversations, school tracking, coach-outreach drafting and subscriptions. Not a chatbot with a login screen.
How it works
Public recruiting profiles are parsed, normalised and injected into the model as context. Measurables mentioned in passing during a chat get detected, validated and proposed back as profile edits.
- Client
- React
- Services
- Node.jsOpenAIStripe
- Platform
- MongoDBAWS ECS/Fargate
The result
Research that used to span five tabs happens in one thread that keeps the athlete's stats and priorities between sessions.

Philadelphia 76ers — Interactive Games
Three browser games for the Sixers. No app install.
3 games in one hubBrowser, no installBuilt for sponsor activations
▸Read the case studyClose case studyBranded arcade games the 76ers can drop into a campaign week — Spectrum Showdown, Spectrum Sprint and Buckets on Broad, all in a browser tab.
The challenge
Games tied to campaigns and event nights have to launch fast, carry both the team's brand and a partner's, and run in a browser without asking for an install.
What we built
Multiple browser games behind one branded hub — animated 2D interfaces, sound, sponsor treatments, and the serverless infrastructure they launch on.
How it works
PixiJS and TypeScript carry rendering and game logic, and each game lives in its own repo, so a new title launches without touching the ones already live.
- Client
- PixiJSTypeScriptGSAPSpine
- Services
- AWS Lambda
- Platform
- AWS Amplify
The result
Spectrum Showdown, Spectrum Sprint and Buckets on Broad run in a phone browser — sponsor-ready fan games that launch on a campaign schedule, not an app-store one.

Live at launchgo.comMobile, web, admin, APIChat, video, geolocation
▸Read the case studyClose case studySchedules, deadlines, check-ins and live chat that keep a coaching relationship running on the days there is no session.
The challenge
Coaching happens in scheduled sessions. The follow-through that decides whether it works happens in the days between them, where the coach cannot see anything.
What we built
A Flutter mobile app, a React client experience, a separate admin platform and the APIs beneath them — carrying schedules, tasks, reminders and progress reporting.
How it works
Chat, video, push, native calling and geolocation sit inside the product rather than beside it. That's the difference between daily accountability and a weekly phone call.
- Client
- FlutterReact 19TypeScript
- Services
- Stream Chat + VideoFirebase
- Platform
- AWS
The result
Schedules, reminders, check-ins, chat and calls in one platform — so coaches keep clients on track between sessions, not just during them.

▸Read the case studyClose case studyA Unity mobile game and the cloud API behind it, so characters, purchases and player progress outlive any single session.
The challenge
A character-driven game has to stay fast and visual on the device, while accounts, purchases and progress have to persist far beyond one play session.
What we built
The Unity game client and the cloud API underneath it: authenticated requests, relational player data, schema validation, migrations and deployment.
How it works
Client and API are two products with a clean seam between them, so gameplay ships on its own cadence without touching identity, purchases or player data.
- Client
- UnityC#Unity Purchasing
- Services
- TypeScriptSST
- Platform
- MySQL
The result
One team built the Unity client, the in-app purchases and the cloud services underneath, so player identity and progress outlive the session.
