Cirkadia is a software and AI engineering studio with decades of shipping production-grade software across legislative, engineering, food service, retail, association management and off-the-shelf products.
We work in short cycles with working software at the end of each one. You see progress every few weeks, you steer with real feedback, and the backlog is always yours to read.
Our team helped build components of the California Assembly Voting System, the system the Assembly uses to record floor votes. That Capitol depth runs straight through Real Time Gov.
Many of our clients have stayed with us for more than a decade, because we don't just ship systems. We keep them running.

What we do
Systems that work as hard as you do.
From the first conversation about what's slowing you down to a system your team relies on every day. We design it, build it, connect it and, when you want us to, run it.
01
Custom software & web systems
Data-driven web applications built around how your organization actually works, not around a template.
02
Data analysis & migration
Move years of records out of aging systems without losing what makes them valuable. Cleaned, mapped and verified.
03
System integration
Get disparate systems talking: accounting, commerce, CRMs and the spreadsheets nobody likes to admit to.
04
Program management & agile coaching
Someone fluent in both business and engineering keeps scope, schedule and quality pointed the same way, and leaves your team with agile habits that stick.
Forward-deployed engineers who connect Claude and OpenAI APIs to the software you already run. Aimed where it saves real hours, with people in charge.
06
Strategy & system selection
Choosing a vendor or a platform? We'll help you pick the one that fits, then help you live with it.
How we work
Discover. Build. Ship. Then again.
Our cadence is the same one Real Time Gov runs on: short cycles, regular releases and change you can see. Transparency, inspection and adaptation, every sprint.
01
Discover
We start with your people and your goals, and turn them into user stories.
02
Backlog
Stories become a ranked backlog you can read, question and reorder.
03
Sprint
Short build cycles, with a working demo at the end of every one.
04
Release
Real releases on a regular rhythm, so value lands early and often.
05
Retrospect
We keep what worked, fix what didn't and tune the next cycle.
Repeat. The rhythm is the point.
Where we've worked
Many industries. One rhythm.
Breadth is how we learned to listen. Every sector teaches us something we carry into the next one.
