Principal-led software consultancy

Sentex

Driving the grid since 1996.

Thirty years at the wheel. Zero crashes. A crew of AI systems riding shotgun. We build the software your competition will be chasing.

Since 1996 00 Years on the grid

The Wheelman

One driver. Three decades. No wreckage.

Every grid has a driver. Ours took the wheel in 1996, when dial-up was the sound of ambition, and hasn't lifted since — thirty-plus years shipping software for startups running on nitro and enterprises hauling serious freight.

He's driven every seat on this highway: line engineer, architect, engineering leader, CTO. He has watched every kind of crash happen on this road — the rewrite that never shipped, the platform that buckled at scale, the vendor lock that became a cage. He wasn't in any of them.

Today he runs Sentex the way a wheelman runs a night route: one set of hands on the wheel, a full array of onboard systems doing the heavy work, and a straight answer on the radio every time you ask where things stand.

Onboard Systems

The car does the work.
The driver makes the calls.

The principal commands a team of AI agents tuned like a race car's onboard computers. They deliver the output of a full crew at a single driver's overhead — and nothing they produce leaves the garage without his hands on it.

TURBO

Build system

Writes, refactors, and ships at redline. Code volume a human team can't match — reviewed line by line by a human who can.

NAVIGATOR

Architecture system

Maps the terrain ten exits ahead. Trade-offs weighed, patterns chosen, failure modes routed around before you ever feel the bump.

RADAR

Verification system

Sweeps every commit for what's hiding in the dark. Tests, static analysis, security passes — nothing gets close without pinging.

One driver, many machines. The AI does the volume; the principal does the judgment. Every deliverable leaves with human hands on the wheel.


The Garage

Four machines. Pick your ride.

Every engagement rolls out of one of these bays. Each machine is principal-driven and systems-assisted, end to end.

Bay 1 · Model INTERCEPTOR

Custom Software Development

Purpose-built and absurdly fast. Products, platforms, and APIs engineered from a blank sheet and tuned until they hum — built to be driven hard for years.

  • Full-stack product and platform builds
  • APIs, integrations, and data pipelines
  • Cloud-native from the first commit

Bay 2 · Model NIGHTDRIVE

AI Development & Integration

Headlights for the dark. LLM features, autonomous agents, and retrieval pipelines wired into your product by people who run them daily — hype checked at the door.

  • LLM features and agent systems
  • RAG and data plumbing that holds
  • Evals, guardrails, and cost control

Bay 3 · Model COMMAND

Technical Leadership / Fractional CTO

The voice on the radio. Senior technical command for teams that need direction now — from a driver who has held the wheel at every level.

  • Fractional CTO engagements
  • Team, roadmap, and vendor leadership
  • Technical due diligence, board-ready

Bay 4 · Model RETROFIT

Architecture & Legacy Modernization

Classic body, new engine. We take the system everyone is afraid to touch and rebuild it while it's still on the road — no big-bang rewrite, no downtime drama.

  • Architecture reviews and roadmaps
  • Incremental replatforming
  • Zero-downtime migrations

The Run

Ignition to finish line.

No retainer theater, no discovery purgatory. Every engagement is a run with a start, a speed, and a checkered flag.

Gear 1

Ignition

A call, a scope, a route. We map the terrain, quote the run, and tell you plainly what's worth building — and what isn't.

Gear 2

Full Throttle

Weekly drops of working software and live telemetry on progress. You watch the speedometer, not a slide deck.

Gear 3

Finish Line

Documented, tested, handed over. Your keys, your machine. We don't hold your engine hostage — we teach you to drive it.
