that hold up in production.

A studio of one, by design.
Twelve years across IT, product, and engineering. You work directly with the person doing the work.
I know how systems break in production — because I've been the one fixing them at 2am.
Palaemon Systems is Sai Pendyala. Twelve years of hands-on work across IT, product, and engineering. I have designed products, built systems, integrated third-party platforms, and shipped real software — front-end through infrastructure, with AI and automation used where they actually help.
Most engagements look like one of three shapes: a build that ships in six to twelve weeks; a part-time technical partner inside a small team; or a focused advisor for an architecture review, integration debug, or due-diligence pass.
Based in Toronto. Serving founders, operators, and product teams across North America.
What gets built here.
Six shapes the work takes — most engagements blend two or three. The list isn't a menu, it's a map.
AI tooling & automation
RAG over private docs, classification pipelines, debug copilots, agentic workflows. Used where it actually saves time.
Full-stack web builds
End-to-end product work. Backend APIs, polished frontends, real-time dashboards. Built so it survives the second year.
Integrations & webhooks
Glue between systems — retries, idempotency, audit, replay. Stripe, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, anything with an API.
Mobile (Flutter)
Cross-platform apps shipped to real users. Real-time GPS, push, offline-first, geospatial, multilingual UI.
Cloud & DevOps
Right-sized infrastructure. CI/CD, observability, secrets, backups, cost audits. No Kubernetes-by-default.
Consulting & DD
Architecture reviews, stack picks, integration debugging, technical due diligence. Second opinions that hold up.
Recent shipments.
Five public builds in the last quarter — live, in production, links below. Full index lives on the Work page.
How the work moves.
Direct, paced, and built around shipping — no bloated process, no big-bang launches.
Understand
Start with what you're actually solving and what "done" looks like in business terms — not a feature list.
Plan
Architecture, tools, sequencing, trade-offs. Mapped out before any production code gets written.
Build & iterate
Working software in stages. Demos every week. Real feedback, real adjustments — no big-bang launches.
Hand off
Deployed, documented, walkthrough'd. Your team owns it with confidence — or I stay on retainer.
Have a system worth shipping?
New engagements open from Q3 2026. A 30-minute call is the fastest way to see if we're a fit — come with a problem, leave with a direction.
