A dev studio
for the work that
has to run.

Lumberworks builds software where the stakes are real. Specialists in AI and Web3, builders of everything in between.

Senior teams. Real systems. No prototypes for hire.
01 / Proposition

Most software is sold as a greenfield project. Most software actually has to run inside an existing team, on existing infrastructure, on a Tuesday morning.

That gap — between what gets pitched and what gets shipped — is where Lumberworks works.

02 / Studio

We build software that runs.

The Studio is where Lumberworks builds. Web applications, mobile applications, smart contracts, AI systems, internal tools, the protocol stack underneath, the dashboards on top.

We staff small senior teams that own the build start to finish. No handoffs. No juniors learning on your timeline. Every engineer is at a level where they could lead the project independently.

We ship the version that runs in production. Not the version that runs on a stage.

  1. 01 Web & mobile applications Consumer products, enterprise tools, dashboards, CRMs, full product surfaces.
  2. 02 AI systems & agentic infrastructure Model integration, multi-agent orchestration, harness engineering, evaluation pipelines.
  3. 03 Smart contracts & protocols DeFi protocols, perps and spot DEXs, bridges, prediction markets, lottery systems, points systems.
  4. 04 Operational software Market-making tools, admin consoles, internal dashboards, automation that real teams use daily.
  5. 05 Data & oracle pipelines Streaming ingest, smoothing, on-chain delivery, indexers, monitoring.
  6. 06 Production deployment & operations Mainnet launches, runbooks, observability, incident response, ongoing support.
03 / Advisory

You know you need to.
You don't know where to start.

The hardest part of adopting new technology isn't the technology. It's figuring out where it goes, who owns it, and how it lands inside a team that already has a job to do.

Most AI and Web3 work is sold as a greenfield project. Real adoption happens inside running businesses, with existing tools, existing people, and a calendar that doesn't pause for transformation.

Advisory is where Lumberworks sits with you in that phase. Sometimes the engagement stays advisory. Often it becomes a Studio build once the path is clear.

  1. 01 Where to start Mapping the surface area, identifying the first real wedge, sequencing what comes after.
  2. 02 What's worth building Feasibility, build vs. buy, vendor evaluation. What's real, what's theater, what's just expensive.
  3. 03 Architecture review for in-flight work Reads of existing codebases, risk maps, hardening plans. Honest assessments without rewrite-from-zero reflexes.
  4. 04 Adoption inside running teams How AI and new tooling integrate without breaking the work that's already getting done.
  5. 05 Workflow automation strategy Where AI moves the needle inside operations, and where it's just expensive ceremony.
  6. 06 Roadmap & sequencing The order of operations for technology adoption that compounds rather than collapses.
04 / Selected Work

Systems we have designed, built, and operate.

Protocol · Live ● Production

A leveraged derivatives protocol

Synthetic perpetuals · EVM L2

Synthetic leveraged perpetuals settled against a third-party prediction market. Custom oracle pipeline, multi-tier insurance fund, end-to-end risk and liquidation engine. Designed, built, and operated through testnet to mainnet.

05 / How we work

Four things we believe. They show up in the work.

  1. I.

    Senior teams only.

    We do not staff juniors on your build. Every engineer is at a level where they could lead the project independently. Small teams, deep ownership, no learning-on-the-job at your expense.

  2. II.

    We ship to production.

    Prototypes prove ideas. We are hired to build the version that runs. Architecture decisions are made for what the system will look like at year three. Not the demo on Tuesday.

  3. III.

    New technology when it makes the system better.

    We work with emerging technology when it makes the system better. Not when it makes the press release louder. Maturity is a virtue. So is restraint.

  4. IV.

    Translation is part of the work.

    The hardest part of putting new technology to work isn't the technology. It's the translation between research, engineering, and the people responsible for the outcome. We do that work in plain language, on purpose.
