EXAMPLES
From websites and business tools to Raspberry Pi systems, ESP32 controllers, monitoring platforms and custom automation, Tech-Yorks builds practical technology around the problem that actually needs solving.
BUILT AROUND THE JOB
That is where small custom systems can shine — using familiar, maintainable technology without turning a simple problem into an enterprise project.
THINGS WE'VE BUILT
These examples include internal systems, prototypes and working deployments that demonstrate the sort of problems Tech-Yorks can help solve.
RASPBERRY PI + ESP32
A browser-based control system bringing heating, powered curtains, relay outputs and live system information into one interface.
The core system runs locally rather than depending on a mandatory proprietary cloud service, while secure remote access can be provided separately when needed.
LOCAL AUTOMATION
Custom thermostat logic with room temperature monitoring, adjustable target temperature and timed boost controls.
The system combines software, temperature sensing and an ESP32-controlled boiler relay into a simple phone-friendly interface.
BUSINESS SOFTWARE
A bespoke web application for managing photographs, preparing posts, reviewing drafts and publishing content through an external social-media scheduling platform.
Instead of adapting the business to a generic package, the workflow was built around the brands and people using it.
CUSTOM WORKFLOWS
Lightweight business systems can be built around the information and workflow a small company actually needs.
That can include enquiries, customers, jobs, notes, documents, status tracking, reporting and other processes that do not fit neatly into an off-the-shelf CRM.
LINUX INFRASTRUCTURE
Linux web applications managed behind Nginx, Gunicorn and Cloudflare, with SSL, backups, monitoring and sensible service isolation.
Tech-Yorks can work with the infrastructure underneath the website as well as the pages the customer sees.
HARDWARE INTEGRATION
Small Linux-based services can bridge business software and physical hardware such as thermal label printers.
The result can be a simple browser-based tool or an automated workflow rather than another repetitive manual job.
SMALL SYSTEMS, REAL JOBS
Sometimes the useful solution is a Raspberry Pi, a small database and a simple web interface.
Sometimes it is an ESP32 controlling a relay. Sometimes it is a lightweight application that removes an awkward spreadsheet or repetitive administrative task.
The technology should match the problem.
BUILT TO BE UNDERSTOOD
A clever prototype is easy to build. A useful system needs to keep working after the excitement has worn off.
We favour straightforward components, documented setups and designs that can be maintained rather than unnecessarily complicated stacks that only their original developer understands.
