CliqNova is Michael Edwards — a hands-on developer, development lead and architect with 30 years of delivery across enterprise, cloud, desktop and mobile, and applied AI shipped in production: deep-learning analytics on a factory floor, LLM-driven tooling with real guardrails. From requirements and system design through code, integration and support.
Pick the depth you need. Every engagement starts with a clear scope and ends with working software, documentation and a clean handoff.
Hands-on delivery in C#/.NET, C++, Kotlin, TypeScript and more. New features, hard bugs, integrations, performance work — code that fits your codebase and your standards.
Run the technical side of a team or project: planning, code review, standards, CI and release discipline, mentoring — while still writing the critical pieces myself.
System and data architecture, API design, cloud topology, migration plans and technical due diligence. Designs that are documented, buildable and easy to maintain.
Native desktop, cross-platform mobile and industrial IoT are the center of gravity today; the rest comes from thirty years of production delivery. The full platform list is on the services page.
The same five stages the original CliqNova site promised — still how every project runs.
Working directly with you and your stakeholders to pin down scope, constraints and success criteria.
Architecture, data model, API contracts and UI flow — written down before code starts.
Full development, integrated into your environment and your team's workflow.
Automated tests, performance and load checks, coordinated QA with your staff.
Production deployment followed by responsive support and a documented handoff.
A few of the systems delivered over the years. The full history is on the experience page.
Deep learning over factory-floor and ERP/MES data to find bottlenecks and inefficiencies, predictive models for slack time and revenue — on an industrial IoT platform of Node.js services, MQTT gateways, Angular dashboards and ESP32 / Raspberry Pi NFC readers (Crean VIA Smart Factory).
NovaLog and NovaScan ship evidence-first AI: RAG over embedded logs and file indexes, an agentic investigator, constrained structured output validated against real candidates, redaction and citation guardrails, ten local and cloud backends with cost metering.
Real-time Android app and C++ device-protocol libraries for OBD-II diagnostics and GPS tracking over cellular, synced to cloud services.
Commercial web platform (now Aprimo) with campaign management, asset workflow, leads, budgets and forecasting on ASP.NET and SQL Server.
Billing, enrollment, claims and CMS reconciliation with HIPAA-compliant integration to TriZetto Facets, as systems analyst and solution architect.
Qlik Sense mashups, client and server extensions and services for clients including Verizon, Cisco, Wiley and Bentley Systems.
