What we've unstuck.
MK Products had 20 in-house engineers and two years on a stalled embedded build. A 2-engineer Horizon Labs team got it launch-ready in months.
“We had previous sets of contractors who each made an attempt to get real-time-like performance from the Android front end. They were abysmal failures. Horizon's Gorkem Bendin understands the tradeoffs required for real-time embedded processing and is able to write Android code that partitions the expensive computations outside the fast loops. Highly recommended.”
Andrew Ward · Engineering Manager, MK Products
“Horizon Labs vastly increased our visibility into technical workflows and capacity to achieve projected outcomes. They have a fast and reliable team with exceptional integrity.”
Marcus Ellison · CEO, TrueChoice
60+ products shipped
Since 2019, across SaaS, healthtech, manufacturing, marketplaces and AI.

Engineers who know what must never run inside the fast loop

“Contractors have failed at this before.”
Usually more than once. MK Products went through several. Start with a 3-month trial against a hard hour ceiling. If the cadence isn't there, you've lost a quarter, not a roadmap.
“They won't understand real-time constraints.”
That is the actual failure mode, and it is why panel work is hard. The skill is knowing what must never run inside the fast loop. Ask us to walk through the partitioning on a call before you sign.
“We're not handing firmware to an outside team.”
