What We Do

Tailored services. Measurable impact.

From software development to cloud infrastructure management, every engagement is designed around the unique needs of your business.

Industries

Deep experience where reliability matters.

We work with organizations whose systems can't afford to guess, where live data, uptime, and trust are the product.

Local Government & Civic Data

Systems built on federal and municipal data infrastructure (NOAA, NWS, USGS, USDA), delivering public information at consumer-product quality.

Climatology & Environmental Science

Real-time snowpack, streamflow, wildfire, drought, and marine modeling, with decade-deep histories joined with live telemetry from thousands of stations.

Agriculture & Land Management

Water availability, reservoir storage, weather risk, and land-use data pipelines that support decisions in the field.

Child & Family Development

Milestone tracking and family health tools built with clinical care, plain language, and privacy-first engineering.

Healthcare, Wellness & Rehabilitation

HIPAA-aligned B2B health platforms and on-device computer vision for guided therapy, with sensitive data handled to clinical-grade standards.

Financial Services & Fintech

Secure financial data platforms integrated with the major consumer credit bureaus, engineered for compliance and resiliency.

Enterprise SaaS & Data Platforms

Multi-tenant, cloud-native data platforms powering self-service analytics and operational workloads with governance and performance guarantees.

Consumer Technology

A deep catalog of shipped consumer applications across weather, outdoor recreation, aviation, marine, and gaming.

Track Record

Built at every scale, from scrappy startup to public company.

Our principals have spent their careers where the stakes are highest. Before Ashton Group, they architected platforms, led engineering organizations, and answered for uptime at some of the most demanding technology environments in the country.

Enterprise SaaS & data platforms

Greenfield multi-tenant data platforms taken from design to production at a publicly traded software company, with real-time streaming pipelines, governance, and AI-assisted incident engineering.

Connected fitness & digital health

Engineering organizations of thirty-plus led through the build-out of HIPAA-aligned B2B health platforms: user verification, ETL, API ecosystems, and revenue-generating products shipped from the ground up.

Consumer credit & fintech

Core platform engineering for financial data applications integrated with the major consumer credit bureaus, automating high-risk back-office processes with compliance and resiliency built in.

Enterprise storage & hardware

More than a decade in storage engineering: performance analytics platforms processing terabytes of raw telemetry, and protocol-level work spanning SCSI, SATA, PCIe, and NVMe.

Climate intelligence at consumer scale

A climate-intelligence platform founded, built, and still operated by our team, serving 100,000+ monthly active users on real-time geospatial pipelines and grown for years on zero paid marketing.

Federal programs & evaluation

Years inside federally funded health and human services programs: evaluation design, fiscal review, and grants compliance for recipients nationwide.

Capabilities

A full-stack toolbox, proven in production.
