What I build in Defence & Security

Hardware-Software Integration

Bridging the gap between physical security hardware (sensors, drones, cameras) and software platforms requires deep understanding of protocols, timing constraints, and failure modes.

Real-time Event Processing

Security systems must process sensor data and trigger responses in milliseconds. Building event-driven architectures that maintain reliability under load is essential for operational effectiveness.

Multi-site Coordination

Managing security infrastructure across geographically distributed sites, each with unique requirements, while maintaining centralised visibility and control.

Vendor Integration Complexity

Enterprise security platforms must integrate feeds from dozens of hardware vendors, each with different protocols, data formats, and API conventions.

Regulatory and Clearance Requirements

Building systems for defence and critical infrastructure means navigating security clearances, data handling regulations, and stringent audit requirements.

Operational Continuity

Security systems cannot fail. Designing for high availability, graceful degradation, and rapid recovery is non-negotiable in mission-critical environments.

MQTT

Event-driven sensor architectures

We've built MQTT-driven systems for Ministry of Defence contractors that orchestrate real-time sensor data from distributed sites. Our experience spans message broker configuration, topic hierarchies, and quality-of-service levels that balance responsiveness with reliability.

Sensor Integration

Hardware interface development

From thermal imaging to motion detection, we've integrated diverse sensor technologies into unified platforms. We understand the protocols, timing requirements, and failure handling patterns that make hardware-software integration work reliably in the field.

Enterprise Security

Video and access control platform development

We've helped enterprise security companies integrate video feeds from multiple vendors into cohesive platforms. Our work includes stream processing, event correlation, and the Vue.js interfaces that operators use to monitor and respond.

Critical Infrastructure

Systems for high-stakes environments

Our experience includes automated drone deployment systems protecting decommissioned nuclear facilities and major airports. We understand what it takes to build systems where failure is not an option.
