Tech Steward

Tech Steward is a software practice for companies modernizing a product that already matters. The work is cloud-native and full stack: web applications, APIs, search, identity, and the release systems around them. Recent engagements center on production AI — retrieval over large record sets, and language-model pipelines whose citations are verified against the source — alongside the unglamorous platform work that makes a feature safe to ship.
