James Sesler
Principal · engineering
Co-owner of Cold Lattice. Builds and runs the applications and integrations we deliver, from the first discovery sprint through handover.
The rules we hold ourselves to.
Most of them cost us a sale now and then. They are why the work we do take holds up.
Measure before we estimate.
A week of counting the current state comes before any number. If it cannot be measured, that is a finding too.
Decide what leaves your environment before any code.
What data may reach a model provider, what never may, and who signs off. Written down first.
You own what we deliver.
Code, data, documentation and the cloud account. We keep only our own tooling and know-how.
No work without a signed statement of work.
Not for friends, not for a quick favor. It protects you as much as us.
Fixed prices where the work can be bounded.
Discovery and assessment exist to make scopes boundable. Time and materials only where it genuinely cannot be.
We decline conflicted bids.
Any opportunity where a team member's other employment gives us non-public information is one we do not pursue.
Someone answers after launch.
A retainer if you want one. A straight handover if you do not. Either way you know who to call.
CloudStack Canvas
A live, multi-tenant SaaS product with organizations and seats, subscription billing, and an engine that turns architecture diagrams into deployable cloud infrastructure. Designed, deployed and operated on AWS in-house. It keeps us honest: every practice we recommend to a client is one we live with in production.
Great Lakes Bay Region, Michigan. On site when seeing the floor or the office changes what we would recommend; remote the rest of the time, which keeps the price of an assessment where it is.
A Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, majority owned and controlled by a service-disabled veteran. Details for contracting officers and primes are on the government page.
