Who do you work with?
Businesses and organizations. We work business to business: engagements are scoped, quoted and contracted.
About
A digital engineering agency.
We work business to business, under contract, on software, security and agentic AI.
Who we are
Engineering first.
We are engineers focused on three practices: software, security and agentic AI. The work is the argument: shipped systems, audit reports and automations running in production.
When a request falls outside those three, we say no and point you somewhere better.
NorthStar is also a builder of products: units created, directed and operated by us under one legal roof.
Principles
- Privacy by default. Our people, our infrastructure and our client relationships stay confidential.
- Contracts and legal responsibility on every engagement.
- Written scopes and fixed quotes before work starts.
- Engineers stay reachable; clients talk to the people building the system.
- Discovery calls are free. Projects are scoped, quoted and paid.
- Self funded, with our own resources, revenue from paid work and private investors.
The model
Building the engineering base of a category-defining company.
NorthStar is a startup and an engineering house. Paid engagements fund the road; the products and units we build for our own account compound it. We are not an incubator and not an investment fund: what carries the NorthStar name is created and directed by us.
The ambition is a category defining company. The method is disciplined delivery, written scopes and a long horizon.
What we do not do
Clear limits, on purpose.
- We do not train or sell foundation models.
- We do not present other companies' products as our own.
- We do not take on work outside software, AI or security.
- We do not promise results we cannot measure.
- We do not buy, sell or invest in other companies.
Delivery
How we run engagements.
01
Scope
A short discovery call, then a written scope with deliverables, timeline and a fixed quote.
02
Contract
Work starts under a signed agreement, covered by our Terms and, per project, a statement of work.
03
Build
Weekly delivery with direct access to the engineers. Decisions and progress are written down where you can see them.
04
Handover
Documentation, credentials and a walkthrough. Maintenance is optional and quoted separately.
Where we operate
Remote delivery, under contract.
- Based in Wichita, Kansas, with legal representation in the United States and Mexico.
- Remote delivery across Latin America, North America, Europe and Asia Minor, in English and Spanish.
- Business-to-business engagements only, always scoped and contracted.
Security and privacy
Privacy is a design decision.
- Client data is never sold, shared or used to train AI models.
- Least-privilege access, encrypted transport and credentials handled under contract.
- NDAs and project-specific security terms are available before work starts.
- Findings and deliverables stay confidential by default.
Tooling and standards
Portable by default.
We work with mainstream, well-supported stacks and keep systems portable: no lock-in and no undocumented dependencies. Boring technology that lasts is usually the right answer.
Every deliverable ships with its code, configuration and documentation in a state the next engineer can pick up without a handover meeting with us.
Roadmap
Where we are going.
The current focus is three practices: software engineering, cybersecurity and agentic AI. As the company grows, we plan to extend into data science and applied mathematics.
We prefer to publish work when it is done, not when it is promised.
In parallel we are building an academy, contributing to open source and publishing tools for production grade agentic AI.
Questions
Direct answers.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. We are based in Wichita, Kansas, and every engagement runs remotely, in English or Spanish. On-site visits are possible when the work requires them.
How do you price a project?
After a short scoping conversation we send a written scope with a fixed quote. We price per project or as a monthly engagement, not by the hour.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We can sign one before discovery, and every engagement runs under a contract.
What if my request falls outside your three practices?
We will tell you, and when possible we will point you to someone better suited.
How broad is your scope?
Any task inside software, AI or security: development, automation, security, training, strategy, research support and long horizon operations. Our published catalogue is a sample, not a limit. Custom requests are the default. If a request falls outside the three practices, we say so and point you to someone better suited.
