Captain-led product engineering — custom hardware, embedded firmware, and cloud software, built to reach the market. Any market.
Two distinct offerings — physical products engineered end to end, and software platforms that stand entirely on their own.
Physical products, end to end. Custom hardware, the firmware that brings it to life, and the cloud that ties it together — from a single prototype to a deployed fleet.
Best when you have a product to put in the world and need the hardware, the code, and everything between.
Software that stands on its own. SaaS and web platforms built to scale and stay fast — including systems where microseconds decide the outcome.
Best when you need a platform built or scaled, and there's no hardware in the picture at all.
Already have sharp hardware engineers, or a platform that just needs its next chapter? We don't need to own the whole thing. Point us at the gap — we'll build exactly the piece you're missing and hand it back clean.
We've built for the open ocean and the trading floor alike. The discipline travels — if it has to be designed, built, and shipped, your industry is in scope.

Flagship
Fleet telemetry, from hull to cloud
On-board hardware captures position and live weather; a multi-tenant cloud platform lets owners and charter fleets watch every vessel move in real time. Hardware, firmware, and cloud — one product, built end to end.

I started as a software engineer. Between designing circuit boards, writing the firmware that ran on them, and shipping the platforms behind them, I became something else — a product creator.
Big Cove isn't a faceless firm, and it isn't a one-man shop. You deal with me — the captain, accountable for your product start to finish. When a job needs more hands or a true specialist, I bring in a small, hand-picked crew. What you feel is one steady hand on the wheel, and a team's worth of depth beneath the surface.
I cut my teeth in marine electronics — about the harshest proving ground there is. Offshore, what you build either holds or it doesn't. That standard never stayed at sea: it goes into every product I build, in every industry.
Whether it's a circuit board, a fleet of devices, or a platform that has to scale — tell me where you're trying to go, and I'll tell you how I'd get you there.
