Independent engineering practice

Software and AI consulting for solutions that are fit for purpose

Architecture, agentic workflows, developer platforms, and technical due diligence for programs where decisions outlive the teams that make them.

Where the work sits

ApplicationHMI · Infotainment · Application layer
LanguageC++ · Qt / QML · Python · Rust

Architecture reviews, design decisions, and cross-layer defect analysis span all three, which is where long-lived defects actually live.

Reference implementation: Antares, open source and used by cloud, semiconductor, and tooling companies.

About

euthetos
Greek
“well suited,” “fit for purpose”

Euthetos is an independent engineering practice working on embedded and safety-critical software, with fifteen years of that work in production automotive vehicles. The name is the standard every engagement is held to: the right solution for the actual problem.

Long-lived embedded programs punish shortcuts. Architecture decisions outlive the teams that make them, toolchains carry technical debt across model years, and a defect found in the field costs orders of magnitude more than one found in CI. The work here is about clarity and correctness in that environment, whether the question is a system design, a test strategy, or where new tooling genuinely earns its place in the workflow.

Services

Four areas of work

01 · Architecture

Embedded Architecture

System and software architecture for embedded, real-time products: HMI, infotainment, and application-layer design.

Basis: Antares, open-source reference implementation

02 · Platforms

Developer Platforms & Test Automation

Build, test, and release infrastructure engineers actually use, including software-in-the-loop testing in cloud CI.

Basis: AWS EC2 · Squish · cloud SIL

03 · AI

AI Tooling & Agent Workflows

Coding agents and AI-assisted review loops placed inside the design and test pipelines a team already runs.

Basis: Claude Code · Codex · Cursor · Ollama

04 · Advisory

Technical Due Diligence

Independent assessment of system quality, architectural risk, and engineering capability for build, buy, or rearchitect decisions.

Basis: TÜV SÜD certified ISO 26262 engineer
