Learn moreHow It Works
Watch the machine run
An order leaves a strategy, clears risk, crosses a FIX gateway, fills at a venue and lands in the books. That whole path is the work we do, and every hop is built to be checked.

What we can actually point at

Zero accessibility violations
axe-core, every page, at 360 and 1280 pixels, on the builds we remediated. Run the tool yourself.
Dallas venue
Ready for Y'all Street
The Texas Stock Exchange is headquartered in Dallas; the launch window it announced ran July 2 to 17, 2026. Kilobytez works from Prosper, about forty minutes north of it, has no relationship with the venue, and offers the connectivity preparation work rather than a connection.
We have no engagement with TXSE and no member firm has hired us for it yet. What we offer is preparation work: connectivity planning, certification workflow review, and launch runbooks, done by an engineer who ran platform security at a hedge fund.
Public Sector
We build the application layer government agencies run on
Portals, workflow and approval systems, credential and document management, notification engines, dashboards and reporting, and the integration work that connects them to systems already in place. Registered and active in SAM, competing as a small business for federal, Texas state and local work.

Why Kilobytez
What sets us apart
Human Review Stays In The Loop
AI can accelerate research, scaffolding, and implementation, but humans review architecture, security, business logic, and production code.
Workflow First, AI Second
We map the process, data, handoffs, and review points before recommending automation, dashboards, integrations, or AI assistance.
Local to North Texas
Based in Prosper, positioned near the heart of America's emerging financial hub.
Speed With Guardrails
AI-assisted engineering helps move faster, while testing, review, and deployment discipline keep the work production-minded.
Operational Thinking
We build for the way teams actually work: permissions, exceptions, reporting, handoffs, monitoring, and maintainable operations.
Deep Technical Range
Range that runs from business dashboards and portals to Python, TypeScript, AWS, Drupal, Shopify, and capital-markets protocol work.

Capital MarketsProprietary trading firm, under NDA
Statistical arbitrage pipeline and execution systems
Kilobytez builds and maintains a statistical arbitrage data pipeline and the execution systems around it for a proprietary trading firm. The engagement is under NDA. We will not name the client, characterize the firm, or publish latency, volume, or P&L figures, not in a case study and not on a sales call. If that kind of discretion is what you need from a vendor, this entry is the reference. Technical detail is available under a mutual NDA.

UT Drupal Kit component library
We stood up a UT Drupal Kit 3.31.3 environment (Drupal 11.3.16) in Docker and built three Single Directory Components inside the university’s own distribution, not a lookalike theme. Sixteen screen captures across the build. Zero axe-core accessibility violations. Nobody paid us to do it. We built it to answer the question a CMS buyer actually has, which is whether the vendor has ever opened their distribution before the kickoff call.
How to verify
Repository and the sixteen captures available on request
Accessibility and performance audit, public university site
A measured audit of a live public university website using axe-core and Lighthouse. The findings are raw tool output with the run parameters attached, not a consultant’s opinion dressed up as a score.
How to verify
Reproducible: run the same two tools against the same URLs
Concept designs
Concept redesigns
Self-initiated concept designs, built on our own time to show how we approach a redesign: the public site, the back-office tool behind it, and an audit with a plan.
Concept design
Pest control concept
Website redesign, a back-office CRM preview, and an audit with a plan.
Concept design
Dental practice concept
Website redesign, a front-desk preview, and an audit with a plan.
Concept design
Med spa concept
Website redesign, a two-location studio dashboard preview, and an audit with a plan.
The remediated concepts reached zero axe-core violations on every page, at both 360 and 1280 pixels. Ask, and we will send the links so you can run axe yourself.
