Software that has to work on the day it matters.
Quantum Peg builds election systems, web applications, ArcGIS tools, and the integrations in between for organizations that cannot afford a failed launch.
Work
Systems in production today, most of them still run by the people we built them for. Select one for the case study.
Instant Elect
Election services
Electronic voting for conventions and assemblies: we show up, run nominations and elections on attendees' phones, and hand the chair a certified tally in seconds instead of hours of paper counting.
For conventions, assemblies, and denominations.
Chord & Arc
ArcGIS consultancy and sample applications
ArcGIS solutions for engineering firms, launched with four working sample applications: field inventory and inspection, a project portal, an operations dashboard, and site and alignment screening.
For civil engineering firms.
Steward Inventory
SaaS product
One ledger for everything a steward is responsible for, from real property to rare books, each tagged with a printable QR code and recorded in an append-only audit trail.
For trusts, estates, foundations, and family offices.
InventoryGrant
SaaS product
Equipment compliance for FEMA-funded security purchases under NSGP, SHSP, UASI, EMPG, and BRIC, tracked the way 2 CFR Part 200 expects it to be tracked.
For nonprofits and municipalities with federal security grants.
Tacit Engine
AI engines with expert feedback loops
Decision engines that propose, let the expert correct, and keep the correction as a rule with a reason. The first client plugs oil and gas wells; the engine drafts the plan and the engineer refines it.
For commercial operators with hard-won field knowledge.
UPCI Wall of Honor
Public directory, kiosk-ready, and CRM
A memorial and leadership directory built for the web and ready for touchscreen kiosks, with the administrator CRM behind it, delivered as a self-contained Docker stack the client's IT team runs themselves.
For United Pentecostal Church International.
WebLEDS session hardening
Legacy hardening
Strengthened session and identity handling for a long-running Perl and IIS system: server-issued, cryptographically signed sessions, proper sign-out, and clickjacking protection, delivered as a one-step installer with no rewrite and no downtime.
For a public-sector records system running Perl on IIS.
What we build
One small team, full stack, from the database to the device in the room.
- Election and voting systems
- Nominations, ballots, quorum, certification, and real-time dashboards for the chair. Built for the one day a year when two thousand people vote at once.
- Web applications and SaaS
- Multi-tenant products with billing, roles, audit trails, and the boring parts done right. Next.js and Node on Vercel or Google Cloud, PostgreSQL underneath.
- ArcGIS and mapping
- Field inventory, inspection, project portals, and dashboards on the ArcGIS Maps SDK, delivered through Chord & Arc LLC for engineering firms.
- Integration and hardware
- Receipt and label printers, NFC and QR credentialing, SMS, kiosks, and the small devices that make a software system real in a room.
- Legacy hardening
- Security fixes and modernization for systems that cannot be replaced this year. Signed sessions, safe logout, content security policy, and clean installers.
- Test automation and load testing
- Playwright and API suites from plan to report, plus load tests that tell you the real ceiling before your users find it.
How we work
Four steps, in this order, every time.
- 1
Scoping call
Thirty minutes. You describe the day it has to work; we ask what would make it a failure even if it technically runs.
- 2
Written plan
A short document you can hand to anyone: what gets built, what does not, how it is hosted, and what it costs to run.
- 3
Build in the open
A preview link from the first week. You click through real screens, not slide decks, and we adjust while it is cheap.
- 4
Run it or hand it over
Many clients have us host and operate the system on our accounts with a support agreement. If you would rather own it, we deliver the repository, your accounts, written runbooks, and a walkthrough.
Who you work with
Quantum Peg is led by Loren J. Brown, a full-stack engineer whose career has been spent shipping systems where the deadline is a date on a calendar and the room is full of people waiting. Recent work spans elections software used by national conventions, ArcGIS applications for engineering firms, compliance SaaS, and security work on systems that still remember dial-up.
You talk to the person writing the code. Based in Oregon and Mississippi, United States, working with clients anywhere.
