RPM Systems

Software engineering, from the app down to the hardware.

RPM Systems is a small software practice. We design, build, and maintain web and mobile products, and we run GPU and compute infrastructure for teams that need it.

Services

Three kinds of engagements. Most projects start with a short call to figure out which one fits.

  • Product builds

    Web, iOS, and Android apps, APIs, and dashboards. We ship them and keep running them after launch, so there's no handoff to a team that has never seen the code.

    • Web apps and admin dashboards
    • iOS and Android apps
    • APIs and backend services
  • Engineering support

    Architecture reviews, code audits, and hands-on work alongside your team. Useful when a project is stuck, starting over, or just needs another engineer who can ship.

    • Architecture and code reviews
    • Picking up stalled projects
    • Extra capacity on an existing team
  • GPU and compute infrastructure

    Design, deployment, and day-to-day operation of GPU workloads, whether that's a single machine, a rack, or a cluster that has to stay online.

    • Hardware selection and builds
    • Cluster setup and deployment
    • Monitoring and ongoing operation

Selected work

Recent client projects and the open-source tooling we maintain.

About

RPM Systems is an independent software and infrastructure practice based in Connecticut. We work directly with product teams and founders who want the people they talk to to be the people writing the code.

Engagements are small on purpose. We take on a handful of projects at a time and stay involved after launch.

Current client work includes UnhookedTV, a streaming platform, and Seaside Beach Club, a members app for a private club. We also maintain OpenTaoAPI, an open-source analytics stack for the Bittensor network.
