An independent engineering studio working the full span — sheet metal to schema, weld to deployment. Custom business operating systems, smart spaces and IoT, prototyping and electronics. One engineer, end to end.
Engineered to build. Designed to last.
Most real problems live in the gap between the physical and the digital — the sensor specified wrong, the schema that can't represent how the business actually operates. MEW works both halves, so nothing falls into that gap.
One system instead of nine subscriptions. ERP, inventory, HR, fulfilment and the customer-facing front end as a single application on a single schema — because the reason your tools don't talk to each other is that they were never designed to.
Built to be owned, not rentedBuildings, retail floors and homes that actually behave. Sensor networks, controller logic, HVAC and lighting sequences, and the telemetry that proves the sequence is doing what the drawing said. Commissioned on live sites, often remotely.
BACnet · Modbus · MQTTFrom a sketch on the shop floor to a working unit. Mechanical design, fabrication, custom PCBs, firmware, enclosures and short-run production — so the hardware and the software driving it are designed by the same hand.
Home turf: metal & sheet-metal fabricationSoftware bloat is an engineering failure, not a matter of taste. Generic tooling is expensive precisely because it is generic — it forces a business to deform itself around the vendor's assumptions, then sells you consultants to manage the deformation.
MEW inverts it: measure the business first, then cut the system to fit. Same discipline as fabrication. You don't bend the part to match the jig you already own. Money is the byproduct. The problem is the point.
"A weld you can't inspect is a weld you don't trust. Same goes for a deployment."
Two studio systems, and the field record underneath them. Every one of these was delivered end to end — designed, built, commissioned, and left running without the person who wrote it.
A subscription cloud kitchen running nine SaaS subscriptions that could not agree on what a dish was. The POS knew a price. Inventory knew supplier SKUs. Nobody owned the link, so nobody could answer what a meal actually cost.
The recipe card became the primary object — a dish modelled as a bill of materials, the same way a weldment is. Sell one and inventory depletes by ingredient, at actual weight, at received batch cost. Not a nightly sync. A foreign key.
Nine subscriptions → one owned deploymentA dropshipping fashion storefront bolted to a supplier network, with returns and margin living in a spreadsheet nobody trusted. Orders were reconciled by hand because no two tools agreed on order state.
Rebuilt as one owned system: storefront, supplier routing, order orchestration, returns and margin reporting on a single schema — with order state as one authoritative record rather than four hopeful copies.
Manual reconciliation removedLarge commercial buildings and live retail stores across borders — blank controller to signed-off sequence, without being on site. Points lists, device discovery, integration and sequence verification on occupied, revenue-generating floors where there is no maintenance window.
Ticketing for a global travel platform — the layer where a race condition is not a bug report, it is a passenger without a seat. Correctness under concurrency, across GDS, airline and payment systems that fail independently and never wait.
Sheet metal, weldments, machine maintenance and motion systems in a working fabrication shop. The origin of the studio, and the reason the physical half never gets subcontracted.
The workshop is now taking orders for one-off and short-run parts — 3D printing, machining, sheet metal and finishing. Send the requirement and a link to your file, get a written quote with a lead time, approve it yourself, and follow the job from the bench to your hands.
MEW is running more active projects than it can responsibly take on, and taking work it can't finish properly is worse than declining it. Work is taken by fit, not by first-come — so if a project genuinely belongs here, describe it and it goes on the list.
That applies to end-to-end projects. Custom making is open and runs on its own queue: 3D printing, machining, sheet metal and fabrication are taking orders now — send us a part.
