We build
AI-native software
We ship production-grade AI products — for ourselves and for clients who need more than demos.
Agentic engineering,
not vibe coding.
Anyone can prompt an AI to generate code. We do something different: we engineer production systems with AI as a force multiplier — not a replacement for expertise. Technology should amplify what humans do best, not replace it.
Vibe Coding
Agentic Engineering
Prompts a model and ships whatever comes out
Architects solutions, validates outputs, owns the outcome
No tests — 'it works on my machine'
Automated test suites catch regressions before users do
Security is an afterthought
Trusted frameworks, third-party audits, production hardening
Impressive demos that break in production
Boring reliability that scales with your business
How we ship with confidence
The practices that separate production software from prototypes.
Expert Humans in the Loop
AI accelerates our work, but experienced engineers make every critical decision. No black-box outputs shipped to production.
Automated Test Suites
Comprehensive testing from unit to integration to end-to-end. Every commit validated, every deployment verified.
Security by Design
Trusted frameworks, secure defaults, and third-party security audits. Your data and your customers' data stay protected.
Production-Grade Infrastructure
Monitoring, logging, error tracking, and incident response built in from day one. Not bolted on after the first outage.
Traditional software shops
are broken.
We've heard the same story too many times: massive budgets, months of waiting, and software that doesn't quite solve the problem. There's a better way.
Sound familiar?
"We spent six months in 'discovery' and all we got was a requirements doc. Not a single line of code."
Series A Founder
"They quoted us $150K upfront. Three months in, I still couldn't tell if they understood the problem."
VP of Product
"My feedback went through a PM, to an EM, to an onshore lead, to offshore devs. By the time it came back, it was unrecognizable."
Startup CTO
A different model
How we think about building software with clients.
Principals who code
No telephone game. The people you talk to are the people building your product. Direct access, direct accountability.
Right-sized teams
Fractional talent matched to your needs. Senior expertise for architecture, specialized skills for specific verticals or stacks.
Velocity without compromise
AI tooling accelerates our work, but experienced humans make every decision. Fast doesn't mean sloppy.
You own the outcome
We're not here to bill hours. We're here to ship software that works and grows with your business.

What we're building
AI industry experience from startups to Microsoft

Hi, I'm Justin.
"I believe the best products come from moving fast, staying close to customers, and never losing sight of delight."
That's me on the left with my better half, Amy. We're building June Coast from North Carolina.
I bring a decade of experience building generative AI products with lessons from early-stage startups through big tech at Microsoft. My journey includes scaling products from first customers through successful acquisitions.
I'm passionate about prototyping, iterating, and shipping fast to focus on what matters most — delighting paying customers.
Currently incubating new products at June Coast. I love talking with other founders and builders about their ideas.
Let's build
something great.
