## What is BASHCAT.NET?

BASHCAT.NET is a Taiwan-based independent engineering studio specialising in the full software-and-hardware stack:

1. **AI & Machine Learning** — LLM applications, RAG knowledge bases, Computer Vision, OCR, Edge AI / TinyML, ASR / TTS.
2. **Embedded Systems** — Firmware for 8051, STM32, ESP32, Arduino, Nordic nRF52 / nRF53 / nRF54L15. PCB design, BLE 5.0 / 6.0, LoRaWAN, WiFi, Matter, Thread, Zigbee. Production support from prototype to mass production.
3. **Web & Cloud** — Next.js front-end, Go / Node backends, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, real-time WebSocket systems, enterprise dashboards.

**Track record:** 50+ shipped projects across 12 industries since 2020. Customers report an average 40% reduction in development cycle time.

**Service model:** End-to-end ("一條龍") — concept → POC → MVP → hardware design → firmware → testing → small-batch trial → mass production. Free initial consultation. On-site service in Taiwan, remote service globally.
