Technology
Alcanzar operates across four interconnected technology domains. Each domain represents deep capability, but the real value is in the connections between them — software systems that understand infrastructure constraints, energy systems informed by distributed systems principles, and research that feeds directly into production work.
Software Systems
We design and build software systems that handle complexity at scale — distributed platforms, real-time processing pipelines, and data-intensive applications. Our work emphasizes correctness, performance, and operational simplicity.
Problems we solve
- High-throughput transaction processing with strict ordering guarantees
- Real-time data pipelines that handle variable load and schema evolution
- Multi-tenant platforms with secure isolation and per-tenant customization
- Legacy system modernization with zero-downtime migration paths
Sample deliverables
- Distributed system architecture and implementation
- API design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
- Event-sourced and CQRS-based platforms
- Performance optimization and load testing
- Technical documentation and runbooks

Infrastructure & Networking
We build network infrastructure and platform systems for environments where reliability is non-negotiable. From edge deployments with limited redundancy to multi-region service meshes, we design for graceful degradation and operational manageability.
Problems we solve
- Edge network design for sites with limited redundancy budget
- Service mesh architecture for multi-region deployments
- Observability and monitoring for distributed infrastructure
- Automated provisioning and configuration management at scale
Sample deliverables
- Network architecture and topology design
- Infrastructure-as-code implementations
- Monitoring and alerting system design
- Disaster recovery and failover planning
- Capacity planning and performance modeling

Energy & Battery Technology
We work on battery management systems, thermal analysis, and energy infrastructure. Our approach combines electrochemical understanding with systems engineering — we design for safety, longevity, and real-world operating conditions.
Problems we solve
- Thermal runaway detection and propagation containment in battery packs
- State-of-charge and state-of-health estimation under varying conditions
- Battery pack design optimization balancing energy density and safety
- Grid-scale energy storage system monitoring and control
Sample deliverables
- Battery management system (BMS) design and firmware
- Thermal modeling and simulation
- Safety analysis and testing protocols
- Energy storage system architecture
- Data acquisition and telemetry systems
Research & Innovation
We run structured technical explorations to evaluate new technologies, validate architectural hypotheses, and prototype novel systems. Our R&D process produces clear, actionable conclusions — not open-ended investigations.
Problems we solve
- Evaluating whether a new technology is production-ready for a specific use case
- Identifying the right architecture for a novel problem domain
- Benchmarking competing approaches under realistic conditions
- Rapid prototyping to validate technical feasibility before committing resources
Sample deliverables
- Time-boxed technical explorations with clear conclusions
- Architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Benchmark reports with reproducible methodology
- Proof-of-concept implementations
- Technology evaluation frameworks
