users served across prior production systems
A straight line from problem to production.
01
Discovery & Strategy
We map your workflows, data, and goals to find the highest-leverage place to apply AI or automation, then scope a plan with clear milestones.
02
Development & Integration
We build the agent, automation, or application and wire it into your existing tools, with working software you can review at every step.
03
Optimization & Support
We tune performance against real usage, fix what breaks, and stay engaged so the system keeps working as your business changes.
A Silicon Valley standard, applied to your build.
Helix Logic is led by Tilmann Bruckhaus, PhD: 30 years building and shipping production systems in Silicon Valley, with leadership roles at PayPal, Intuit (Credit Karma), Eventbrite, and Sun Microsystems, 22+ patents, and an Area Chair role at ACM KDD, one of computer science's top research conferences. Founded in 2025, Helix Logic pairs that standard with a vetted senior team shipping across four practice areas: AI, mobile, full-stack web, and business intelligence.
AI & Machine Learning: agentic AI, LLM engineering, RAG, computer vision
Mobile: Flutter and native iOS/Android at production scale
Full-Stack Web: React, Next.js, Node.js, FastAPI
Business Intelligence & Data: Power BI, DAX, ETL, real-time dashboards
Services built for outcomes, not headcount.
AI & Machine Learning
Custom AI and ML systems: agentic AI, LLM engineering, and multi-agent orchestration. MCP servers, LangGraph pipelines, RAG systems, fine-tuned models, computer vision, and predictive analytics. Research-grade builds shipped to production on GCP and AWS.

Interactive, multi-report Power BI dashboards turning raw operational data into real-time, executive-level decisions for enterprise hospitality and retail teams.
A LangGraph multi-agent system that facilitates live meetings in real time and pushes decided action items to Jira automatically.
100% five-star, verified.
Tilmann is a rare systems leader. He quickly restored clarity, rhythm, and shared reality across a distributed, fast-moving team. He converts messy cross-functional feedback into crisp structure without bureaucracy, surfaces misalignment early, and translates it into decisions everyone can hold. 10/10 would hire again.
Verified Upwork Client, 5/5
Tilmann delivered exceptional work on our data diagnostic. He quickly understood a complex system, identified key priorities, and produced a clear, actionable plan that balanced rigor with pragmatism. Communication was excellent, and his technical insight raised the standard for our entire data team. Highly recommended for any advanced ML or systems architecture work.
Verified Upwork Client, 5/5
Tilmann was a pleasure to work with, thoughtful, good communication, and technically fluent.

Work with us the way that fits.
Streamlined Build
Hourly, starting at $35/hr
For a focused BI dashboard, web feature, or mobile build that fits a pattern we've already shipped, not a research-grade custom system. Quoted after a quick scope check, delivered fast.
Priced hourly by task
Built from proven patterns, not from scratch
Faster turnaround than custom builds
Discovery Sprint
$4,500–$10,000 fixed fee, 2–4 weeks
A short discovery stage followed by a first build stage, each a deliverable you approve before the next begins. You get a working system, not a deck.
Fixed-fee, split into discovery and build stages
Scoped after a free Discovery Call
Ends with production-ready software
Custom Build
$10,000–$30,000+, scoped after Discovery
Larger or multi-phase builds, priced fixed-fee per phase once the first engagement has proven out the approach.
Fixed-fee per phase
Scoped from real results, not guesses
Weekly progress updates
Advisory
$150/hr
For teams who want to build in-house and bring us in for specific problems: architecture review, unblocking a stuck build, or hands-on technical guidance.
Hourly, no minimum commitment
Direct access to a principal, not delegated
Good fit if you already have engineers in place
Built to move at your speed.
PhD-led, research-grade
Led by a PhD and ACM KDD Area Chair with 22+ patents. We implement from research papers and ship production systems, not prototypes.
Senior-led delivery
A principal is on every engagement, not delegated downstream. Direct access to the person accountable for the outcome.
US-based oversight, proven team
Architecture and accountability sit in Silicon Valley, execution runs through a vetted senior team. One contract, no coordination overhead.
Track record at scale
Systems built by our team have served 130M+ users and driven $400M+ in annual revenue at companies like PayPal, Intuit, and Eventbrite.
100% five-star track record
Every completed engagement rated 5 out of 5 on Upwork, with Top Rated Plus status.
Range without dilution
AI, mobile, full-stack web, and BI under one roof, each practice area led by someone who has shipped it at scale.
Common questions.
With a free 30-minute Discovery Call. We talk through your workflows and goals and tell you honestly whether AI, automation, or a custom build is the right fit. If it is, the next step is a Discovery Sprint: a short, fixed-fee stage that scopes the actual build.
A first engagement typically runs 2 to 4 weeks: about a week of discovery to confirm scope and architecture, then a build stage that ships a working, production-ready deliverable, not a prototype. Larger or multi-phase builds are scoped once that first piece has proven out.
Fixed-fee by phase. A Discovery Sprint runs $4,500 to $10,000, and larger builds are quoted per phase once scope is confirmed. If you'd rather build with your own team and bring us in for specific problems, we also work hourly at $150/hr, no minimum commitment.
You do. Everything we build is yours, and every engagement ends with a handover so your team can run, maintain, and extend the system without depending on us to touch it again.
Least-privilege by default: we scope exactly what access is needed before work starts, and systems we build authorize every action against your own credentials rather than trusting a blanket connection. We don't hold data or access longer than the engagement requires.
Yes. We don't publish client names, metrics, or case studies without explicit permission, which is why the work shown on this site is described without naming the companies involved unless they've agreed to be named.
