Five by Five is an independent software studio: cloud platforms and agentic systems for teams that need them to work, plus side projects that get built because they are fun.
“Five by five” is radio shorthand: signal strength five, clarity five. Heard you perfectly.
Some of the best engineering lessons come from building things for real people with real feedback. These projects get tested on actual players, and sometimes grow up.
From tabletop gaming to aviation so far, with a few more ideas waiting their turn.
Browse the projects →Bring your flight logs in from wherever they live, then browse your flights and see them summarized in the ways that matter to you.
An app for running D&D campaigns. A built-in multi-agent DM Copilot keeps the person behind the screen in the story, and a player view is built for school-age kids who may not have an email address.
Runs serverless on AWS Lambda, so it costs nothing while it sits idle between sessions.
Five by Five is an independent studio for cloud, platform, and AI engineering work, with a growing shelf of personal projects alongside it.
It is a place for building things carefully, whether that is a platform for a team or a game tool for a table of eight-year-olds.
Whether it is a platform that needs a steady hand or a project that needs a fresh set of eyes, I would like to hear it.
