Washington limited liability company · Founded January 2024
We are a small independent studio in Maple Valley, Washington. We publish our own iPhone applications, and we advise individuals and small to medium businesses on local language models, AI automation and the vendor decisions that come with them.
Two halves of the same business. We consult on applied AI, and we ship products of our own — the second keeps the first honest.
Designing and deploying LLMs that run on hardware you own, so business data never leaves your network. Model selection, hardware sizing, quantisation and evaluation.
Retrieval pipelines, document processing and reporting workflows built on top of existing systems, with the failure modes made visible rather than hidden.
Independent assessment of AI platforms and licensing against what a business actually needs, including cost modelling and exit paths.
Native and React Native applications for iPhone, built and published under the Sparky1 name.
An iPhone application that signals Morse code between two phones using the camera flash, an audible tone, or a near-ultrasonic carrier — plus an emergency beacon. It works without a network, and it does not contact emergency services. It is in testing and is not yet available on the App Store.
morsebuddy.sparky1.liveOur AI consulting practice, operating as Pivot. Private AI design, local LLM deployment and automation work for businesses that would rather not send their data to someone else's servers.
pivot.buildPivot is a trade name of Sparky1 LLC. All contracts are entered into by Sparky1 LLC, a Washington limited liability company.
