Our Story

Our story began in 2006, amidst the ‘iPod revolution’, first by helping friends and family with digitizing their music collections, building basic in-home music streaming systems, trouble-shooting home theatre builds, and related household computer networking.

By 2012, we had grown more capabilities with IP video broadcasting and low-voltage systems, and by 2015, we added full-stack web development to our services, in conjunction with building IP broadcast systems for a cross-Canada coding bootcamp.

We delved deeper into full greenfield structured media and smart home builds with various projects from 2016-2020, but due to Covid-19, we were forced to move to remote-only courseware and live teaching offerings for our clients, but 2022 has seen a resurgence of in-person client work, system building, and support.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower our clients with a collaborative relationship, with hands-on support and standards-based technologies, by building elegant, user-friendly, maintainable, flexible, robust, long-term-evolution-ready systems, and empower clients to be agile to respond to as-yet-unforeseen future technologies, challenges and changes.

On Privacy & Operating Policies

We aim to preserve our clients’ privacy by systematically protecting their information as much as possible, limiting what we collect, and working with transparent, open-source data encryption protocols.

We'd be happy to email you a copy of our privacy and operating policies.
