What we build

Areas of expertise

CodeWheel builds open-source developer tools and publishes technical content on AI platform architecture, security, and agent orchestration.

Fractional AI Architect

Part-time CTO guidance covering architecture, product strategy, and hands-on development. Senior technical leadership on retainer without the full-time hire.

AI Platform & SaaS Development

Production AI platforms with Next.js, MCP agents, tool orchestration, auth (Clerk), and billing (Stripe). From MVP to launch in weeks, not months.

See platform development

AI Agents & Automation

MCP servers, autonomous agents, and workflow automation that connect your tools — Jira, Stripe, HubSpot — with RBAC, audit logging, and human-in-the-loop approvals.

Specializations

What we specialize in

Agent & MCP Development

Production MCP servers and AI agents with RBAC, audit logging, and tool gating. Orchestration that survives security reviews, not just demos.

Workflow Automation

Connect CRMs, billing, support, and dev tools so agents handle the repetitive work — ticket triage, data sync, report generation — with guardrails and audit trails.

RAG & Retrieval

Production retrieval pipelines with pgvector, hybrid search, and context management. Integrated into agent workflows or standalone.

The stack we ship

Production AI platforms, not prototypes

Next.js + Vercel for the frontend. MCP servers and LangChain for agent orchestration. Neon Postgres with pgvector for retrieval. Clerk for auth, Stripe for billing. Battle-tested stack that scales from MVP to enterprise.

Fit check

Who we work best with

Ideal clients

Teams building AI-first products that need senior architecture and security from one partner.
Founders and engineering leads who want direct access to the engineers doing the work.
Companies preparing for due diligence, vendor security reviews, or compliance readiness.

Not the best fit

Programs that require formal compliance attestation bodies (SOC 2 auditors, ISO certifiers).
Organizations that need 24/7 SOC or dedicated on-call coverage.
Engagements looking for a large agency with dedicated account managers and project coordinators.
