Software, shipped by the ocean.

We build the whole stack: native apps, AWS & Azure cloud, security, and automation. You work directly with a senior principal, from Swift and Kotlin to Terraform and the servers, never a rotating cast of juniors.

Real estate automation

Self-hosted OpenClaw AI agents that automate how real estate businesses run.

OpenClawAI agents

Most of these are our own products. It's how we keep the craft sharp, and proof that we ship. The cloud, security, and automation work is client work, so it stays private.

How we help

One studio, the whole stack.

You don't juggle an app shop, a cloud team, and a security consultant. We take it from product to infrastructure to the parts that keep it safe, led hands-on by a senior principal.

01

App development

Native iOS and Android (SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose), plus the APIs, auth, and data layer behind them, built to platform guidelines and shipped to the stores.

  • SwiftUI + Jetpack Compose
  • Postgres, Firebase & edge functions
  • App Store & Play launch
02

Cloud & networking

AWS and Azure done properly: provisioned as code, automated, and wired up with the networking to match. Infrastructure you own and can actually reason about.

  • AWS & Azure
  • Terraform / IaC & CI/CD
  • VPCs, networking & automation
03

Cybersecurity consulting

Security for teams that need it and don't have it in-house: assessments, hardening, and practical fixes that hold up, not a 200-page PDF nobody reads.

  • Assessments & hardening
  • Cloud & app security review
  • Practical remediation
04

Automation & AI

The repetitive, high-volume work handled by scripts and AI agents that plug into the tools you already use, plus LLM features wired into real product flows.

  • Workflow & ops automation
  • AI agents & LLM integration
  • Guardrails & cost control

How we work Four stages

A predictable path to launch.

Four stages, no mystery. You always know what's happening now and what comes next. The same rhythm on every project.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We get sharp on the problem, the users, and what success actually looks like, then scope a first release worth shipping.

  2. 02

    Design

    We design flows and screens for the platform, reviewed against real content and edge cases, not just the happy path.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build the native app and backend in tight loops. You see working software early and often, on real devices.

  4. 04

    Ship

    We automate delivery to TestFlight and Play, handle store review, and plan the release after this one.

Same latitude, opposite ocean

Tech By The Ocean moved from San Diego to Charleston and kept building along the same 32nd parallel, Pacific swell traded for Lowcountry marsh. Every project is led hands-on by a senior principal who owns the whole stack: SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose on the front, Postgres and Neon, Firebase auth, Deno edge functions, and Cloudflare on the back, with fastlane delivery straight to the stores. The engineer who designs your app is the one who writes the Swift, the Kotlin, and the SQL.

These days it's as much cloud, security, and automation work as it is apps: AWS and Azure setups, networking, cybersecurity consulting, and the AI automation that ties a business's tools together. Same principal, wider stack.

Because we ship our own products, we feel every decision a client feels: the cost of a slow screen, a flaky sync, a release that misses the window. That's the standard we build to. We'd rather ship one thing that holds up than ten that look good in a demo.

“We take on a handful of client projects a year, the ones where owning the whole stack actually matters. You work directly with the principal doing the work.”
01
One senior principal from idea to store listing. No handoffs, no finger-pointing.
02
Native apps built to platform guidelines, not compromise frameworks.
03
Infrastructure you own and can reason about, not a black box.
04
Honest scope and steady communication, start to ship.
