Custom tools for narrow, expensive problems.
Dashboards, workflow automation, data pipelines, integrations, and field tools shaped around how the work actually happens.
Founder-led software and hardware lab
Built for the strange, specific, and worth-solving.
O'Connor House Labs designs and builds custom software, hardware prototypes, internal tools, automations, and experiments for problems that do not fit in a template.
What this becomes
Small devices, sensor rigs, and physical interfaces.
Useful prototypes that combine firmware, enclosures, connectivity, and the software needed to operate them.
A public trail of experiments and lessons.
Projects and writing will document what is being built, what failed, and what becomes reusable for the next weird challenge.
Operating principle
Less ceremony. More working artifacts.
The lab is built around thoughtful scoping, fast prototypes, honest tradeoffs, and durable systems. The goal is not to sell a platform. It is to make the right thing exist for the person or team that needs it.
