Software your team can own,
scale, and maintain without calling us back.
Outcomes from the Service Express, Inc. supply chain platform rewrite
Engineering Services
Custom Software Development
Go services, REST and gRPC APIs, database design, and full product builds from greenfield to production. Delivered to be owned and maintained by your team long after the engagement ends.
Legacy System Modernization
Rewrites and migrations from ASP.NET, PHP, and Python 2 codebases to modern, maintainable architectures — incremental, risk-managed, and without stopping the business.
Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure
Cluster deployment, workload scaling, pod security, and self-healing infrastructure. KCNA certified with hands-on production experience at enterprise scale.
CI/CD & DevOps
End-to-end pipeline design with GitLab CI and GitHub Actions, containerized test environments, and release automation — from commit to production with confidence.
AI/ML Infrastructure
Request gateway and orchestration services that route between LLMs, trained ML models, and MCP integrations — built in Go with gRPC transport, Redis caching, and full production observability. Enterprise-scale experience in regulated Kubernetes environments.
Frontend Engineering
React and Vue 3 interfaces that look intentional and perform reliably — storefronts, dashboards, admin panels, and internal tools. Component-driven, accessible, and wired cleanly to your API layer.

Shipped Work
Case Studies
Production systems built end-to-end — architecture, implementation, and deployment.
Enterprise AI/ML Gateway
Secure, multi-model request gateway for an enterprise research platform — Go service handling auth, queuing, and routing between researchers and AI/ML endpoints
Request Gateway & Routing
Research scientists and engineers submit requests through an internal portal to one of three target types — hosted LLMs, in-house ML models, or MCP endpoints. The Go gateway service receives each request over gRPC, applies queue management, selects the correct backend, and writes the response to Redis for fast retrieval. No request reaches an AI/ML resource without passing through this layer.
Authentication & Identity Layer
Enterprise research environments require strict controls over who reaches which models. We integrated OIDC-based authentication into the gateway — identity is verified on every request before it enters the routing layer. Routing decisions are identity-aware, so different researcher roles access different model sets without per-request configuration.
Client under NDA — architecture and engagement details available on request.
Grain & Grit
Full-stack e-commerce platform — Next.js 15 monorepo with dual apps, shared design system, and cloud-native deployment
Customer Storefront
An artisan goods business needed a storefront they could run without a development team. We built a Next.js 15 store with Stripe + Square payment integration, R2 image storage, and rate-limited checkout — deployed on Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext.
Admin Dashboard
Managing orders, products, and customers from a spreadsheet wasn't scaling. We built a private admin dashboard — secured behind authentication — so the owner can manage inventory, track orders, and handle customers without touching a line of code.
Superior Technology
Supply chain platform rewrite — Go microservices replacing a 20-year-old ASP monolith, plus an agentless SNMP monitoring appliance
Parts Management Platform
The legacy Trakker system couldn't support growth into new markets. We decomposed it into four domain-owned Go services — standardization, inventory, support, and orchestration — with an incremental cutover and formal UAT sign-off before each ASP page was retired. No big-bang rewrite.
ExpressConnect Appliance
Service Express needed to know about hardware failures at customer sites before those customers called. We built a subscription monitoring appliance — deployed to customer-hosted VMs — that watches 50k+ devices per fleet and alerts the service team proactively, turning reactive break-fix calls into a value-added subscription offering.
Spectrum Health
Legacy database performance optimization — PL/SQL tuning and compliance reporting for a major Michigan health system
Compliance Reporting Optimization
State compliance reporting had fallen six months behind — accumulated PL/SQL query performance issues made scheduled report generation untenable. We diagnosed the bottlenecks, rewrote the critical stored procedures, and reduced report runtimes from hours to minutes. Spectrum Health moved from six months in arrears to fully current with State of Michigan reporting requirements.

About Rune Studios
Rune Studios builds the systems behind the scenes — the ones that process the orders, move the inventory, and keep the infrastructure running when the load spikes.
We build new services from scratch, modernize systems that have outgrown their architecture, and wire up the infrastructure that keeps everything running. Every engagement is scoped, shipped, and handed off so your team can own it without us in the room.
We care about the details that don't make it into the project handoff: migration strategies that don't stop the business, observability that actually gets used, and code the next engineer can read without a guided tour.
