DigitalBorders / Studio
We build the products that don't fit one box.
Software, hardware, and the immersive layer in between — shipped end to end by four senior engineers.
Who we build for
- Jocondo
- a due-diligence firm
- a music-heritage catalog
- a schoolbook publisher
- an industrial materials manufacturer
- a global coffee-machine maker
And we ship our own products — Varco and a set of open-source tools.
Capabilities
Four practices, end to end.
Most teams build a web app, or firmware, or an AR experience. We do all three — plus the AI and automation layer that ties them together.
Software & SaaS
01Web apps, SaaS, dashboards, and the internal tools that run a business — on Next.js, with Convex or Appwrite behind them.
Connected Devices
02Firmware to cloud to app: IoT and embedded systems on Zephyr RTOS and ESP32, over BLE, LoRa, and MQTT — including Industry 4.0 with OPC-UA.
Immersive / XR
03AR and VR in Unity — HoloLens on the factory floor, mobile AR companion apps, and headset work on Vive and Oculus.
AI & Automation
04LLM apps, agents, and browser automation — multi-model pipelines that pull structure out of documents and drive real workflows.
Featured work
Proof, not adjectives.
Case studies that lead with the hard technical problem and how we solved it — end to end.
Connected Devices
Smart planters that form a self-healing LoRa mesh
Jocondo
DigitalBorders took Jocondo's smart planters from prototype to product — firmware, a self-healing LoRa mesh we built and open-sourced, an Appwrite backend, and a React Native app, end to end. Pots mesh over LoRa where Wi-Fi can't reach, and any connected pot bridges the rest to the cloud.
- ESP32
- ESPHome
- C++
- LoRa mesh
- BLE
AI & Automation
A browser farm and a multi-LLM rule engine for document due diligence
a due-diligence firm
A due-diligence firm needed to pull verifiable facts out of source documents that only exist behind logged-in web portals. DigitalBorders built the whole pipeline — a farm of real Chrome browsers, driven over the DevTools Protocol, that collect the documents, and a multi-LLM rule engine that extracts each fact and ties it back to where it came from.
- Neko
- Puppeteer
- Chrome DevTools Protocol
- OpenRouter
- Convex
Software & SaaS
A music-heritage catalog, from a public map to a self-building admin
a music-heritage catalog
A music-heritage catalog — composers, compositions, and the places they were performed — needed a public app to explore it and a back office to curate it. DigitalBorders built both — an installable map you browse on the web or as an Android app, and an admin whose forms and tables are generated from the data's own schema. One team owned the web app, the admin, the backend, and the deploy.
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Appwrite
- Leaflet
- PWA
Immersive / XR
A virtual museum that lets readers step inside a printed art book
a schoolbook publisher
A schoolbook publisher wanted readers of a printed art book to step inside the works, not just look at them on the page. DigitalBorders built the companion app — a virtual museum in Unity, shipped to iOS and Android from one codebase, that you walk through on a phone or in stereoscopic VR with Google Cardboard.
- Unity
- C#
- Google Cardboard
- iOS
- Android
Connected Devices
An unattended service that turns machine tests into clean data
an industrial materials manufacturer
On the production line of an industrial materials manufacturer, a test machine wrote a new spreadsheet for every run and spoke to its controller over serial and OPC-UA. DigitalBorders built the unattended service that reads the machine, parses each result the moment it lands, and ships it to the cloud — and the dashboard the engineers review it in.
- Electron
- serialport
- OPC-UA
- Appwrite
- React
Products
We ship our own products, too.
Not just client work. We design, build, and run our own software — so we live with the decisions we make.
Varco
An event-management SaaS we designed, built, and run.
Plus open-source tools: console-peek, Puck plugins, and videocall-transcribe.
The studio
The people who pitch are the people who build.
Four senior engineers — no hand-off chains, no junior bench. The names below are who you'll work with.
