Senior product engineering studio
Appalytical builds AI systems, mobile products, and the engineering behind them. We take on new builds, production problems, and software that has outgrown its first version.

Scout to HuntWhere we step in
The entry point changes from project to project. The work stays senior-led, close to the code, and accountable to a production outcome.
Turn a product direction into software people can use. We handle the architecture, product surface, integrations, and delivery across AI, mobile, and web.
Move beyond the successful demo. We add the evaluations, observability, data flows, security, and deployment work that production exposes.
Take control of a stalled build, inherited codebase, or release process that has become too fragile. We find the real constraint and get the product moving again.
Build a repeatable way to reach the right prospects and turn interest into conversations. We connect the audience, message, campaign infrastructure, and follow-up.
Featured build
A React Native product for hunters in remote terrain, with offline 3D maps, background GPS, encrypted local storage, and field statistics that keep working without cell service.
The product coordinates maps, location, background activity, and local data on devices that may be miles from a reliable connection. It is live on both major mobile platforms.
Selected work
The industries change. The recurring work is technical ownership: understanding the system, making the hard calls, and shipping the result.
Mobile identity and credentials
Rescued the iOS engineering process, split a monolithic SVN repository into Git, established unit testing, and built the CI/CD pipeline.
Drone operations platform
Led R&D and React Native engineering for FAA-aware drone operations, mission coordination, and search-and-rescue support.
Expense management platform
Led mobile engineering for real-time expense management and product integrations at what is now BILL Spend & Expense.
Law enforcement data suite
Built a data operations hub that unifies agency systems, supports rapid case search, and automates situational alerts.
Field analysis software
Built a field data collection and analysis platform used by geotechnical engineers away from the office.
Senior product engineering
Shipped mobile, web, and native macOS and iOS work for more than 10 enterprise clients as a senior subcontracted engineer.
How we work
You work with the people making the architecture decisions and writing the software. The feedback loop stays short from the first conversation through release.
01
We get clear on the product, the existing system, and what is actually preventing progress.
02
We define the smallest credible path, surface the tradeoffs, and take ownership of the engineering decisions.
03
We deliver in working increments, test against real conditions, and keep production in the loop.
From the people in the work
Nate is an exceptional developer who consistently demonstrates strong ownership capabilities throughout our projects. He consistently displayed a comprehensive skill set and delivered high-quality, performant, and effective solutions with care and precision. Nate has maintained a reliable and proactive work ethic, being quick and thorough in his communication, which makes him easy to work with and an outstanding technical resource.
Lead Principal Engineer, NiCE
Nate is a dynamic and versatile engineer. Great at working independently on R&D or as part of a team driving projects across the finish line. He picks up new stacks fast, writes clean code, and doesn't need hand-holding. He's been deep in AI development for the last 18 months, building with LLMs and agentic systems with tool calling and autonomous workflows. He was building this stuff before most engineers were paying attention. I look forward to working with him again.

Start with the hard part
Bring the product direction, the production problem, or the system nobody wants to touch. You'll talk directly with an engineer about the fastest credible path forward.
