Loyalty across operators, machine locator, purchase history. Account deletion was in the first schema, not retrofitted.
Visit futurovend.comSubscription SaaS, B2B operations platforms, audio software. We build all three for clients. We also build all three for ourselves, and one of them bills subscribers every month.
Fourteen systems across SaaS, B2B operations, data infrastructure and audio software. Every one of them is ours. The eight below are the ones worth showing, and what we learn keeping them running is what we carry into your build.
We designed it, built it, launched it, and we still run it. A subscription product with paying customers, billed by us and operated by us every morning. So when we warn you about a billing edge case in month three, it’s because it bit us first.

The app subscribers log into, running as they see it.
A B2B operations platform for the vending industry: the app a customer pays with, the console an operator runs a fleet from, and the software on the machine itself. Built for a machine standing in a hallway on a bad connection, because it still has to work.

One radial panel over the whole fleet. Everything an operator touches is one ring away.
Every machine reports its own state: what is stocked, what is selling, what is about to date, what has stopped taking money. You decide whether the van is worth it before you drive. When a theft alarm fires, the camera opens inside it.
Tap the machine and take what you want: the card on file is charged, or a wallet pays and it dispenses without waiting for the transfer to confirm. Points on everything, machines nearby, and what has been marked down before it dates.
Recorded in the customer app
Pay at the machine, earn on everything, and never wait for a transfer to clear.
The data infrastructure, autonomous services and client-side surfaces underneath the headline products. This is where the unglamorous problems live: retries, entitlements, reconnect logic, deletion requests.

Visit tradedeskultimate.comA music and fashion label we built from the ground up: collectors’ vinyl, cut-and-sew apparel and the Ash-N-Halo film series, released in numbered drops. No Remorse is the first: a seven-track EP and the pieces you wear while you listen to it.
A fantasy film series, and a wholesome use of AI. N-E-Where is the episode’s highlight track: press play with the sound on.
Keep your CoreMello.
Twelve mixing plug-ins on one real-time engine, with one control that matters more than the rest: a seven-decade timeline. Drag it and everything morphs with the era, live.
One of several plug-in suites we build in house, and the first to ship: Era releases Friday 30 October.
One fixed chain: input drive, a five-band program EQ with PUSH, an era-voiced valve stage, harmonics, de-esser, glue and a soft-catch ceiling, with two backlit VU meters and loudness metering. Every era is a whole chain, not a preset, and it runs standalone with no DAW in the room.
Each one below as it runs in the DAW today; click to see it full size.

Fixed scope, fixed price, no hourly meter. Pick a foundation, add what you need, and watch the number move. This is an estimate, not the quote. We confirm the real number on the scope call, and then it goes in writing and stops moving.
Short, fixed-price engagements. A way to find out how we work before you commit to a build. Scope, price and delivery date all get fixed in writing on the scope call.
We read your codebase and send back a written assessment: what’s fragile, what’s quietly costing you money, and the order to fix it in. The document is yours whether or not you hire us for the fixes.
A fixed block aimed at your bug list or that one slow page. You get the fixes, plus regression tests so the same bug can’t come back through the front door.
Subscriptions wired properly: plans, trials, proration, webhooks, dunning, failed-payment recovery. We run this stack in production in our own SaaS, against live subscribers and declined cards.
Your half-finished project put online properly: deployment, domain, SSL, environment config, error monitoring, and backups we’ve restored from at least once.
Connect the systems that don’t talk: scheduled collectors, third-party APIs, validation, and reporting your team can read without you translating it first.
Your algorithm or sound idea running as a working VST3/AU plug-in you can load in your DAW. It’s narrow work. We’ve built twelve of our own on one C++ engine, plus a 24-track recorder.
Bigger engagements price the same way. Fixed, in writing, before anyone touches a keyboard.
Studio productions are quoted against what they replace rather than by the week, so they sit above the build add-ons. The commercial needs your product photography and a vector logo before the clock starts, and you stay the advertiser of record for what it claims. Anything involving agents is a managed service below, because it carries a monthly fee.
Agents that run one or two of your back-office processes on a schedule, working only on systems you already own. Scoped credentials, written guardrails, read-only by default, a decision log of every action, and a kill switch that stops everything in one click. Anything irreversible waits for a human.
The monthly fee is part of the service rather than an upsell, because an agent that runs on a schedule needs someone watching it. We run seven of these against live markets, each with its own risk limits and decision journal under a shared risk manager. Every action is logged and reversible. That is the only way we would let software near money.
Talk through your workflows →A team of agents that writes, schedules and publishes to your brand accounts, then handles the replies and comments that come back. Every outbound sits in an approval queue until you decide to loosen it. You keep owner-level admin on every account, and a kill switch that stops all of it at once.
The monthly fee is not a licence. It pays for someone to watch the queue, retune the guardrails when a model or an API changes, and answer for it when something reads wrong. We don’t sell this without it. A social media manager runs $3,000 to $6,000 a month, and that’s the honest comparison.
You are the publisher of record. The accounts, the app credentials and the final say on anything sensitive stay with you. We connect through your own OAuth app and never take a password.
Posting and comment replies on Meta. Posting on TikTok. X needs your own paid API tier. LinkedIn is scheduled posting only, because automating engagement there breaks their user agreement, so we don’t sell it.
Not financial services, healthcare or supplements, legal, insurance, cannabis, gambling, or political work. Those carry supervision rules an autonomous agent can’t satisfy.
Plenty of freelancers have built demos. We run our own: a subscription SaaS with paying customers, a B2B platform for vending operators still in build, and a line of twelve audio plug-ins.
A bee arrives at a flower already carrying pollen from the last one. That’s the arrangement here. Most of the architectural calls on your build are ones we’ve already had to live with on ours: billing edge cases, churn, uptime, refund mail from someone who actually paid us. You get the version we landed on after paying for the first one.
