We engineer distributed edge-computing platforms for live auction floors and build custom bridging logic to feed strict, legacy ERP data exports directly from modern dashboards.
We build fault-tolerant backend systems that communicate directly with hardware. From buffering raw TCP streams from industrial scales to spooling Zebra ZPL print payloads, we bridge physical operations with real-time digital states.

Stop risking database parity. We aggregate highly normalized ledger tracking into strict, fixed-width character strings required for secure ingestion into decades-old AS400 and legacy ERP platforms.

Software environments change. We provide continuous operational maintenance and updates to ensure your automated workflows never break down.
Learn MoreA robust approach to high-throughput, low-latency floor operations paired with deep backward compatibility. Whether generating dynamic SGTIN Electronic Product Codes or injecting data silently into a local 32-bit application, we automate the bottleneck.
Handling sub-millisecond race conditions during live descending-clock auctions via custom Lua scripts. Cryptographic locking ensures strict concurrency so only the first incoming WebSocket bid is honored.
To satisfy rigid legacy ERPs, our PostgreSQL architecture utilizes locked exports. Post-export UI edits capture previous and new states as JSONB payloads, maintaining referential integrity across historical ledgers.
Direct buffer management of incoming byte streams from industrial scales, applying custom debounce and stabilization algorithms before emitting normalized payloads to React client dashboards.
For fully offline legacy apps, we bypass memory barriers using native Windows Win32 API messages to directly manipulate background window handles, replacing manual data entry without hijacking your mouse.
I am Matthew. I am a domain-expert developer, former NOAA marine biologist, tech entrepreneur, and current Vessel Manager at the United Fishing Agency (UFA). I build hard tech for the harshest environments on earth because I've actually lived the problems I am solving.
I spent 6 years working as a fisheries observer for NOAA in the harsh environments of the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and the Pacific Ocean. The job was exhausting, repetitive, and incredibly dangerous. In 2015, I lost a colleague and friend, Keith Davis, at sea.
I realized that human observers could only cover a fraction of the fleet, but a computer with a camera could do the job safer, faster, and with 100% coverage. This realization sparked my transition into technology. By 2019, I co-authored a NOAA Technical Memorandum on Electronic Monitoring (EM), designing the early hardware and software logic that used mechanical triggers to automatically record catch data.
To scale this technology, I founded PelagiX and won the 2019 Purple Prize ($40,000 Hawaiian innovation incubator) by pitching a simple truth: "The camera doesn't lie" when it comes to sustainable fishing.
I rebranded the company to 'IKE Solutions, diving deep into Machine Vision and Edge AI. Because commercial fishing boats have zero cloud access or cell service, I sourced and programmed compact, GPU-capable edge servers. I trained machine learning models to automatically scrub thousands of hours of video, achieving 95%+ accuracy in identifying fish species versus protected bycatch (like sea turtles and seabirds) completely offline.
Currently, I am the Vessel Manager at the Honolulu fish auction (UFA, established in 1952). To modernize their massive seafood supply chain, I transitioned away from standard BaaS systems in favor of robust, containerized Node.js/PostgreSQL infrastructure.
I spearheaded the development of their Live Swordfish Auction application, a distributed, real-time edge-computing platform. By leveraging raw TCP sockets for industrial hardware integration, bi-directional WebSockets for live bidding synchronization, and strict fixed-width ERP data exports, my team and I bridged a highly volatile physical auction floor with immutable digital ledger systems.
Through Oahu Automations, I bring enterprise-grade capital efficiency to local businesses. We liberate owners from manual data entry, allowing them to scale operations and compete without the massive overhead of bloated payrolls or forced software migrations.
"I am a Domain-Driven Developer. I don't build software looking for a problem; I live the problem first, and then engineer the exact hardware, AI, and cloud architecture needed to solve it, whether that's on a boat 1,000 miles offshore, or on the floor of a fast-paced fish auction."
