Technology consulting · California's central coast
C5E is the premier technology consulting firm on California's central coast, developing innovative strategies and solutions that help you run your business, your enterprise or your personal life more efficiently and more securely, by putting modern technology and AI to work.
Automate routine work, get more from the tools you already pay for, and protect your customers and data, without hiring a full IT department.
Strategy and hands-on help to adopt AI at scale: choosing where it pays off, building it securely, and leading the teams that run it.
Secure your home network, devices and accounts, and make AI tools genuinely useful in your day-to-day life.
AI runs through every engagement, and the experience behind it runs deep. C5E's principal engineer brings more than two decades of professional experience in AI research and development, long predating today's wave of AI tools, so advice rests on hard-won understanding rather than the latest trend. Wherever AI can save time, cut costs or reduce risk, C5E helps you adopt it safely, backed by the engineering, security and infrastructure experience to make it last.
Finding where AI makes you faster and more efficient, then designing and delivering it: workflow automation, assistants and agents, and AI features that hold up in daily use.
Building and scaling engineering teams that deliver: organization design, hiring, coaching new managers, and release processes teams can trust.
iOS and Android architecture, development and release management, from a first app to a platform that serves millions of users.
Practical security for applications and infrastructure, down to the cryptography underneath: threat modeling, design and security reviews, and hardening scaled to the real risk.
Servers, networks and the services on them, kept reliable, secure and understandable, from Unix hosts to DNS, mail and the edge.
C5E is based in San Luis Obispo, on California's central coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Central coast businesses get a technology partner close to home, and clients anywhere in the world get the same expertise.
