Systems built around how your business runs.

Custom Software Engineering

Production web applications, APIs, and platforms.

Production web applications and the platforms underneath them. Multi-tenant systems with real access control, operational tools that replace the spreadsheet a business has outgrown, and the APIs that hold it all together. Deployable from the first week, not the last.

AI & Autonomous Systems

LLM systems, retrieval, and agent infrastructure that runs unattended.

Applied AI past the demo stage. Retrieval over private corpora with citations back to source, classification at scale, and multi-agent infrastructure with persistent memory, review gates, and audit-grade logging. The unglamorous parts are the ones that decide whether AI survives contact with production.

AI Consulting

Where AI fits in the business, planned by the team that then builds it.

Advisory work that ends in a working system. We find where the hours actually go, decide which of that work AI can take on safely and which it should not, and write the plan the build follows: the data it reads, the review gates, the logging, and what it will cost to run. The same team then builds it, so the plan was never written for someone else to interpret.

AI Agents

Standing multi-agent systems with memory, review gates, and a log of every action.

Agents that keep doing a job rather than finishing one task. Small fleets with persistent memory that run on a schedule, review and verification agents between every decision and every action, and audit-grade logging so anything they did can be reconstructed. Offered as AgentPraetorian. The reference build runs entirely from a messaging app, with no dashboard to sit at.

Data Platforms & Analytics

Warehousing, BI, ETL, and reporting people actually open.

Pipelines and reporting infrastructure that turn operational systems into decisions. ETL into warehouses, semantic models that survive contact with the business, and dashboards measured by daily use rather than screenshot quality.

Integration & Middleware

Bridging vendor APIs, legacy systems, and the tools around them.

The connective work most shops decline. Typed clients and middleware over billing, telecom, and PSA platforms whose APIs were not designed to be pleasant, plus Model Context Protocol servers that put those systems directly in reach of AI tooling. Rate limits, pagination, and picklist archaeology included.

Custom Websites & Local Search

Custom websites through GrowthPraetorian, with local search and enquiry tracking.

Custom website work through GrowthPraetorian, an HDS brand. Clear service pages, thoughtful interactions, structured data and local search, review workflows, and reporting that connects visibility to inbound enquiries. Ongoing monitoring and improvements are scoped around the business, so the work continues after launch.

Secure Email & Identity

M365 and Entra, compliance workflows, audit trails.

Microsoft 365 and Entra ID configured for organizations that need to defend their inbox and their identity surface. Compliance-ready audit trails, secure mail flow, conditional access, and routing automation for the mail that has to be acted on rather than read.
