What we build

  • Custom software development

    Web applications, APIs, and iPhone apps built in Python, TypeScript/React, and SwiftUI.

  • Workflow automation

    Scripts and pipelines that replace manual copy-paste, data entry, and file handling.

  • AI-assisted document processing

    Extracting, classifying, and summarizing documents with large language models, with human review built into each step.

  • Data extraction and transformation

    Cleaning, reshaping, and validating data across spreadsheets, databases, and APIs.

  • Internal knowledge search

    Search over an organization’s own documents that answers questions and cites its sources.

  • API and system integration

    Connecting existing systems through REST APIs and scheduled data feeds.

  • Reporting and dashboards

    Web dashboards and charts built from operational data.

  • Software prototyping

    Working prototypes that let a team test an idea before committing to a full build.

Why Studio Chingie

  • Ships finished software. Studio Chingie has released an iPhone app on the Apple App Store and a commercial Unity template on the Unity Asset Store.
  • Tests AI before trusting it. Studio Chingie builds test harnesses that run AI-generated output, score it against a rubric, and publish the failures alongside the scores.
  • Knows public-sector operations from the inside. David administered civil-service exams for NYC’s Department of Citywide Administrative Services and supported FAR-based contract files at U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command.
  • Can keep data in-house. Studio Chingie has run and benchmarked open-weight AI models on local hardware, an option when sensitive records cannot leave the organization.
  • Helps primes meet goals. As a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, Studio Chingie can count toward prime contractors’ SDVOSB subcontracting goals.
