We engineer custom digital workflows for Oahu businesses to eliminate manual data entry and connect legacy desktop software, no APIs required.
We bridge the gap between AS400, Delphi, and older ERPs to modern cloud tools using Python and visual OCR. If a human can click it, we can automate it.
Stop burning payroll on data entry. Our automated systems process shipping manifests, vendor invoices, and compliance logs 24/7 with zero errors.
Software environments change. We provide continuous operational maintenance and updates to ensure your automated workflows never break down.
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 am not just a software developer sitting in a cubicle, 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 pivoted into full-stack cloud development, real-time systems, and operational automation.
I spearheaded the development of their Live Swordfish Auction application, a real-time, globally synchronized bidding platform using Vanilla JS, Tailwind, and Firebase. Alongside a dedicated team, I also helped engineer a massive React.js ERP ecosystem featuring custom parsers to ingest unstructured legacy PDFs, automated financial analytics for bill settlement, and digital signage for the live auction floor. To ensure absolute data integrity, we integrated a custom Audio-Feed QA system using the Web Speech API that reads fish prices out loud to detect anomalies.
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."
