Our Work

Architecture built to solve real problems.

Every project here started with a genuine business or social challenge. We design, build, and ship — from initial architecture through to production.

CivicGuardian AI

A multi-agent safeguarding platform built on Amazon Bedrock Nova that protects vulnerable adults from missing critical deadlines in housing, benefits, and healthcare correspondence. It reads what arrives, identifies the risk, and alerts the right person before a deadline is missed.

Our Approach

Technology that bridges the gap between ambition and delivery

Business-first architecture

Every system we design starts with the business outcome, not the technology. We define what success looks like before we write a single line of infrastructure.

AWS-native by default

We build on AWS because it gives organisations the scalability, security, and commercial flexibility they need — without locking them into proprietary stacks they can't control.

AI as leverage, not hype

We integrate AI where it creates genuine operational advantage — not as a feature, but as a mechanism that makes your existing workflows fundamentally more effective.

What's Next

Projects in development

Columns & Pillars Tech is actively building in two areas. If either is relevant to your organisation, we'd like to hear from you.

Architecture Design Complete

AgriData: Precision Agriculture Platform

A GCP-native precision agriculture platform designed to ingest real-time data from IoT sensors, drones, and satellite imagery, process it through Cloud Dataflow and BigQuery, and deliver predictive analytics via Vertex AI. Architecture covers secure device ingestion through Cloud IoT Core, event-driven processing with Pub/Sub and Dataflow, ML model deployment on Vertex AI with GKE, and operational dashboards through Looker. Full architecture design and presentation completed.
