Technology Innovation Studio
Research. Prototype. Build. Scale.
Beyond the basics lies innovation.
We build products, platforms, applied AI systems, and production-grade reference architectures. Through open source, training, and community engagement, we share what we learn and help transform ideas into working systems.
Quest beyond the basic needs.
Our own software, incubated end to end.
Developer platforms and cloud-native foundations.
Libraries and starters, Apache-2.0, on Maven Central.
Courses, conference talks, and workshops.
Architecture, platform, and AI engineering.
Quantum computing, edge AI, cloud-native systems.
Open Source
Code you can read before you call us
The most honest thing an engineering company can show is its source. Ours is public, Apache-2.0, and shipping on Maven Central.
log-safe-spring-boot 1.0.0 GA
A Spring Boot starter that logs REST request and response detail with configurable redaction of sensitive fields, so you get useful logs without leaking PII.
alexa-spring-boot
Spring Boot starter for building Alexa skills. It grew out of the extensibility work behind the SpringOne 2020 talk on Spring's scaffolding model.
FeatureToggle-Boot2
Feature toggling with FF4J on Spring Boot 2. The reference implementation from the SpringOne 2019 session.
Services
Practical engineering pointed at your problem
Eight practice areas. We start with a small, well-defined engagement to evaluate ideas, assess a prototype, reduce risk, or validate an approach before committing to larger initiatives.
Enterprise Architecture
As-is assessment, target state, and a roadmap between them.
Platform Engineering
Paved roads that teams actually want to drive on.
Developer Experience
Internal portals, scaffolders, and self-service tooling.
DevSecOps
CI/CD and security controls built into the pipeline.
Cloud Native
Microservices, Kubernetes, and migration strategy.
AI Engineering
Spring AI, RAG and local models. Applied, not theoretical.
Rapid Prototyping
R&D and proofs of concept, so your team stays on roadmap.
Technical Advisory
Deep code reviews and architectural second opinions.
Products
Software we are building ourselves
Fourth Quest is a product incubator first. These are in active development. Follow along, or tell us if one solves a problem you have.
Gizmo Guard In development
Edge AI that keeps inference on the device. Built on small local models, so data never has to leave the hardware it was collected on.
Learn moreMIP Coming soon
In early development. We'll publish details as the shape of the product settles.
Learn moreDevX Platform Coming soon
An internal developer platform: one place for tooling, service catalog, tech radar and docs, with self-service provisioning and scaffolders that carry your standards.
Learn moreAI-Powered LMS Coming soon
A learning platform for engineering teams, drawing on our training practice and applying AI to curriculum, assessment and pacing.

Courses, workshops, and corporate programs
Two decades of building systems, turned into curriculum. Free courses are on Udemy today; custom workshops are built to your stack.
- Udemy courses, free and self-paced, open to anyone
- Corporate programs in Java, Spring, cloud-native, DevSecOps and SRE
- Architecture and AI workshops, tailored to your codebase
Talks & Content
Conference talks, demos, and writing
Platform Engineering Conf, CodeMash, three years of SpringOne, and the Cleveland Java User Group. All recorded, with slides and runnable code alongside.
One-Click 15-Factor Apps, Governed. Platform Engineering Conf 2026, the most recent of six recorded sessions.
