Ashton Group takes products from a whiteboard sketch to production traffic. We design, build, and operate full-stack systems, from native mobile apps to web platforms and the APIs behind them, with the discipline of a team that has shipped a deep portfolio of production applications and operated its own platforms continuously since 2019.

Because we run what we build, we engineer for the whole lifecycle: clean architecture on day one, automated releases in week one, and observability from the first deploy. Our track record spans healthcare, local government data, climatology, agriculture, and child & family development.

What we deliver

Native iOS development in Swift and SwiftUI, including ARKit augmented reality, SceneKit/SpriteKit 3D and game engines, WidgetKit widgets, Live Activities, and on-device machine learning with the Vision framework
Web applications and portals built on modern frameworks with Django/Python back ends

Geospatial products: interactive Mapbox maps, custom tilesets, offline map regions, and location-verified user content

Proven in production

Our portfolio includes AR aviation tracking polling live ADS-B data every four seconds, an on-device computer-vision rehabilitation coach where video never leaves the phone, real-time environmental mapping fed by 10,000+ federal data stations, and consumer apps mapping 33,000+ locations nationwide, all built and operated end-to-end by Ashton Group engineers.
