Problem-first engineering / Vancouver, BC

We don't start with a technology. We start with your problem.

We diagnose the business problem first, then build whatever it takes to solve it: software, hardware, or both.

What we build

Software and connected hardware, engineered with the same rigor.

Most small studios pick one side and stay there. We work across both because real business problems rarely respect the line between digital and physical.

Software

Web, backend, and the systems that connect them.

  • Custom web applications and SaaS platforms
  • Booking, scheduling, and client communication systems
  • Backend systems, APIs, and workflow automation

Hardware

Embedded electronics through to energy systems.

  • Embedded systems and IoT integration
  • Sensor networks and control logic
  • Energy systems: thermal, electrical, and mechanical design
  • Rapid prototyping, from concept through FMEA-driven iteration

How we deliver

An internal, AI-accelerated build process lets a small team move at the speed and cost of a much larger shop. It is an operating advantage, not something we sell. You see it as faster delivery and a price that reflects it, never as a line item on an invoice.

Who we work with

Any business with a concrete problem. Often one that isn't sure whether it needs software, hardware, or both.

We don't lock into a vertical, because the thing we're good at is depth of problem-solving, not familiarity with one industry's jargon. Figuring out what to build is part of the engagement.

Work

Two kinds of proof, kept separate on purpose.

Client work is what we've been paid to deliver. Engineering capability is what the founders have built and validated elsewhere. We never mix the two, so nothing here reads bigger than it is.

Client work

Delivered or in progress, all under a fixed-price model.

Engineering capability

Founder credentials. Proof the hardware side of the team is real. Not client deliverables.

Where this goes

An engineering practice that builds its own products out of the problems it is already paid to solve.

1 Now

The engineering practice

Fixed-price and retainer delivery across client engagements, proving the problem-first model holds up across different problems and industries.

Every engagement adds revenue, references, and pattern recognition: which problems recur, which systems get rebuilt from scratch each time, and where a reusable product could replace a bespoke build.

2 Next

Proprietary products

Patterns recognised across engagements get productised into software and hardware that Aveion owns outright.

Client revenue funds the R&D, so product bets are informed by real, paid problems rather than speculation.

Team

Three founders, three lanes, no overlap.

Software architecture, engineering quality, and physical-systems engineering under one roof. That combination is hard to replicate at this size.

Why it holds up

What makes this hard to copy.

01 / 04

Full-stack across digital and physical

Most small studios pick one side and stay there. We can take a problem from sensor to dashboard without handing it off.

02 / 04

Fixed-price delivery

No hourly billing. The price is agreed before the work starts, so the incentive is to solve the problem well, not slowly.

03 / 04

Engineering-grade rigor, even in software

FMEA, weighted decision matrices, and thermodynamic and exergy analysis are part of how we make decisions, not just how we build hardware.

04 / 04

AI-accelerated internal process

A real speed and cost advantage in how we build, which shows up in your delivery timeline and your price rather than in our marketing.

What people say

From the people we have worked with.

We let the work speak first, but the people we have built for have plenty to say too.

Working with Aveion to build the Garg Ventures website was a great experience. The team was professional, responsive, and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. They delivered a modern, easy-to-navigate site that represents my brand well. Since launch it has strengthened our online presence, boosted credibility, and opened new opportunities for growth. I would definitely recommend Aveion to anyone looking for a reliable partner to build and grow their online presence.

Saksham GargCEO, Garg Ventures

Aveion guided me through each step of building my driving school website, making the process easy and clear. They listened to my needs and helped improve the design along the way. The final result is a professional website that fits my business perfectly.

Shadab NizamuddinCEO, Textile Works

Aveion combines innovation with reliability. Their team demonstrated a high level of technical expertise and creativity that made a real impact on our projects. They didn't just build solutions, they refined them through a natural, productive collaboration.
