— An independent engineering studio

Obsidevs

Engineered intelligence.
Crafted architecture.

Est. 2012 Available for select engagements

A studio,
not a shop.

obsidevs is an independent engineering studio building AI automation, data infrastructure, and bespoke web systems for operators who treat code like architecture — and architecture like a promise.

We work quietly. Small, senior teams. No dashboards of account managers between you and the people writing the code. Every engagement begins with a blueprint and ends with a system you can actually understand, extend, and trust — documented in plain language, versioned in plain sight.

Over more than a decade we have shipped scraping engines that hum through millions of pages without a whimper, ETL pipelines that turn noisy feeds into clean daily ledgers, AI layers that retire entire departments of manual work, and websites engineered on our own proprietary framework — built for speed, security, and longevity, not for a template marketplace.

If you have a difficult problem and a little patience for craftsmanship, we should probably talk.

Six disciplines.
One standard.

Each practice is led end-to-end by senior engineers — no handoffs, no ghost teams. Scoped discreetly, delivered with production documentation, monitored after launch.

I.

AI Automation

Autonomous workflows, agentic assistants, and intelligent integrations that retire manual operations. Built with observability and graceful degradation from day one.

Claude Ollama n8n
II.

Web Scraping

Resilient extraction engines — rotating proxies, headless browsers, JavaScript-rendered pages, captcha-aware flows. Structured, deduplicated, and ethically scoped.

Playwright Scrapy Python
III.

Data Mining

Signal extraction across messy, heterogeneous sources. Clustering, entity resolution, enrichment, and long-running pipelines that get sharper the longer they run.

Pandas DuckDB Embeddings
IV.

Big Data ETL

From raw firehose to queryable warehouse. Event streams, change-data-capture, idempotent transforms, and schemas designed to survive the next five migrations.

Airflow dbt Postgres
V.

AI Consulting

Advisory for teams deciding what to build, what to buy, and what to ignore. Model selection, prompt architecture, cost modelling, guardrails, and an honest second opinion.

Strategy Architecture Review
VI.

Proprietary Framework

Websites engineered on our in-house framework — hardened, headless-capable, version-controlled, and documented line by line. No page-builder bloat; only what you ship.

A partial tally of engagements we have led, scoped, or architected — under NDA, without names, with receipts.

0+ Years

Continuous engineering practice since 2012.

0+ Websites Engineered

0+ AI Systems Deployed

Agents, automations, and production assistants.

0+ Data Pipelines

ETL, scraping, and mining engines in active operation.

Every engagement begins on paper.

A quiet, four-phase methodology that favours understanding over velocity, documentation over heroics, and systems that outlive the people who built them.

I · Discovery

Survey the terrain.

A short, senior engagement: audit, interview, read the existing code, map the real constraints. We surface risks before quoting a line.

  • check Stakeholder interviews
  • check Code & infra audit
  • check Threat & risk review
II · Architecture

Draw the blueprint.

System diagrams, data contracts, security model, cost envelope. Signed off before a single feature is written — so we build the same thing you agreed to.

  • check System & data design
  • check Security model
  • check Cost & capacity plan
III · Construction

Build with precision.

Small iterations, automated tests, staging parity, and weekly written updates. You see the work as it happens — not at the end, when it is too late to steer.

  • check CI/CD from day one
  • check Security hardening
  • check Living documentation
IV · Stewardship

Launch, then stay.

Observability, runbooks, and quiet on-call. Handover is a phase, not an email. Optional retainers for the long tail of the work that actually keeps systems alive.

  • check Monitoring & alerting
  • check Runbooks & handover
  • check Ongoing retainers

What clients have said.

Names and companies withheld by agreement. Roles and sectors kept; the words belong to them.

obsidevs rebuilt our entire data pipeline with surgical precision. What used to take the team four days now runs autonomously in under twenty minutes, and we finally trust the numbers.
VP of Engineering Fintech · Series B
Their AI automation layer quietly retired three full-time roles worth of manual work — without a single person being let go. The craft in the code matches the craft in the interface.
Founder & CEO PropTech · Privately held
We brought them in for a two-week consult and walked out with a full blueprint, a working prototype, and an engineer on our team who understood our business better than most internal hires.
Chief Technology Officer SaaS · Enterprise
Elegant, secure, and scalable — rare to find an agency that treats infrastructure like architecture, not scaffolding. We extended the engagement twice, and will extend it again.
Director of Product E-commerce · International
