We build the working systems governments
can't afford to wait for.

Most "smart city" work ends as a deck. Ours runs in production. Problem mapped in week one. Something working before any presentation. Every decision tracked from the start.

Live · Phuket NODE_01 7.8804°N · 98.3923°E Phuket Dashboard — governor-grade operations room interface
PROD / 01 / Regional Operations

A governor's situation room, in a browser tab.

Phuket's transit, public safety, and environmental signals, unified into one surface that an actual governor can read in 30 seconds. Built in weeks, not procurement cycles.

Latency42ms
Sensors3,200
StatusNominal
StackVite · Mapbox · IoT
Why it's special Most government dashboards are read-only PDFs disguised as software. Phuket is a working operations room: transit, safety, and environment fused on one screen, refreshed every 42ms. The governor reads it directly — no analyst translation layer.
What it replaced Three siloed agency reports, an SMS escalation chain, and a Tuesday-morning briefing slot.
Earned on day one Built on existing IoT infrastructure — no new hardware procurement.

Why it's special Bloomberg Terminal costs $25K/seat/year. This runs on open data. Cross-source crisis fusion, escalation deltas, and economic spillover — surfaced fast enough to brief a minister before the cable news cycle catches up.
What it replaced Subscription intelligence platforms, ad-hoc analyst PDFs, and the gap between "something happened" and "we have a position."
Earned on day one Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, OSINT feed fusion, and 53-country NLP brief layer — deployed at the edge for sub-second region switches.

Live · National NODE_03 13.7563°N · 100.5018°E Smart City Thailand Index — national programme tracking
PROG / 03 / National Programme

Bureaucracy, made legible.

We built the public surface for Thailand's national smart city programme with depa. Proposals go in. Progress stays visible. The programme stops disappearing into PDFs.

Programmedepa
ScopeNational
TrackingLive
StackReact · Index
Why it's special National programmes usually live in annual reports nobody reads. This one is online, bilingual, and tied to outcomes — not ceremony. A candidate city's status moves the moment a milestone clears.
Who pays for it depa — Thailand's Digital Economy Promotion Agency. Direct-to-government engagement, not a sub-vendor relationship.
Why it matters Sets the template for any national smart-city programme that wants to stay legible past the launch press cycle. SLIC integrates as the benchmarking layer.

Live · 157 cities NODE_04 5 pillars · weighted live SLIC Index v3 — adjustable five-pillar ranking lab
RANK / 04 / City Benchmarking

A ranking that argues back.

The SLIC Index doesn't tell cities what they're worth. It shows them five pillars and lets them test their own priorities. Mayors decide what livability means — and the math follows.

Cities157
Pillars5 adjustable
ModeLive
AudienceMayors · Networks
Why it's special Every other livability index hands cities a finished verdict. SLIC hands them the math. Move the pillar weights, watch your ranking change — and your peers' — in real time. The argument becomes the product.
What it replaced Static prestige leaderboards. The annual ranking PDF. The conversation that ended with "we don't agree with the methodology."
Audience signal Picked up by Mayors of Europe. Live-demo'd at SCSE Taipei in 45 minutes. Treated as a civic argument, not a moodboard.

Live · Sarawak NODE_05 1.5533°N · 110.3592°E Greater Kuching Intelligent Operations Centre
PROD / 05 / Intelligent Operations

Greater Kuching, one command surface.

A full-spectrum IOC for Greater Kuching, Sarawak. Foreign exchange, flights, satellite imagery, and environmental signals — unified for the operators who run Southeast Asia's fastest-growing smart city.

RegionSarawak, MY
DataFX · Flights · Satellite
StatusLive
StackReact · GIS · Edge
Why it's special Most IOCs are single-domain. Kuching fuses cross-domain signals in one view — currency pressure, flight arrivals, Sentinel-2 sweeps, environmental reads. The operator never switches tabs to see the full picture.
Who uses it Greater Kuching city operators and planners. Built for real-time situational awareness — not a demo room, for daily use.
Why it matters Same information density a Bloomberg terminal gives a trading desk — but for a city, at a fraction of the cost.

Live · Middle East NODE_06 Multi-source · Real-time MEM — fastest Middle East conflict news aggregator
PROD / 06 / Open Intelligence

News before the algorithm decides what's war.

MEM is the fastest open-source news surface for Middle Eastern conflict coverage. Live multi-source feeds, no editorial delay, no filter bubble. The signal before the cycle.

RegionMiddle East
SourcesMulti-feed
LatencyReal-time
AccessOpen · Free
Why it's special Every major news platform has an editorial layer that slows, filters, frames. MEM removes that layer. The same signals a desk analyst aggregates manually — in one surface, at machine speed.
What it replaced Three browser tabs, two Telegram channels, and a Twitter/X list — open simultaneously to triangulate what was actually happening on the ground.
Who uses it Journalists, policy analysts, NGO field teams. Anyone who needs ground-level signal faster than the 24-hour news cycle delivers it.

Live · Phuket Transit NODE_07 7.8804°N · 98.3923°E Phuket Smart Bus — GPS transit intelligence for riders
PROD / 07 / Transit Intelligence

The bus, tracked. The rider, informed.

Real-time GPS tracking and passenger telemetry for Phuket's smart bus network. Designed for the rider's phone first — not a control room screen. Works on the road, in the heat, with one thumb.

CoveragePhuket Island
InterfaceMobile-first
DataGPS · Telemetry
StackTypeScript · Maps
Why it's special Smart bus systems usually exist for the operator's dashboard. This one exists for the person waiting at the stop. GPS position, next arrival, route clarity — for a tourist who doesn't read Thai and a commuter who doesn't have time to guess.
What it replaced Standing at a stop with no information. A bus schedule printed in 2019. The assumption that transit on a tourist island can't be made legible.
Built on top of Phuket's existing IoT infrastructure — the same sensor layer that feeds the Governor's operations room. No new hardware.

Live · City ops NODE_08 Telegram · LINE · Satellite SCTH V2 — Smart City Thailand city data platform with civic report intake, AI analysis, and live map layers
PROD / 08 / Civic Intelligence

Reports arrive. AI turns them into action.

SCTH V2 is a Smart City Thailand city data platform that absorbs civic reports from Telegram and LINE, analyzes problems with AI, and overlays near-real-time satellite and map layers for city builders, city developers, and city managers.

IntakeTelegram · LINE
LayersPrecip · Aerosol · Clouds
ModeNear real-time
AITriage · Patterning
Why it's special Most city complaint systems stop at a ticket number. SCTH V2 turns the report stream into a decision surface. Messenger reports, field photos, SLA risk, and AI pattern detection sit on the same map as precipitation, aerosol, cloud, terrain, and street layers.
What it replaced Screenshots in chat groups, manual spreadsheet triage, static map layers, and the delay between "someone reported it" and "someone can act on it."
Decision power City teams can absorb reports, assign owners, analyze recurring patterns, export sheets or PDFs, and push response tasks while the city context is still live.
Live access Proprietary system under continuous daily development. The link runs a live tunnel — if it doesn't resolve, the system is mid-upgrade. Check back in a moment.

Two stages, one signal

Governments are tired of waiting for the deck.

In six months we took the same thesis to two of Asia's biggest stages. Both rooms were full. Both had the same response: build it now, not after the next budget cycle.

Who builds it

Two founders. No handlers.

You talk to the people who write the code and decide the architecture. When the work needs UAV operators or traffic engineers or policy translators, we pull them in for that mission only — never as a standing bench.
