Independent software & engineering studio · Hong Kong
Lampstand Technology is the studio of Marcus Lam — electrical, software and IT engineering under one roof. We design, build and ship products end to end, from the silicon and the camera up to the cloud and the app. Some are live on the stores today; all of them are real.
Most teams hand a project across three companies — hardware, software, cloud. We take it from idea to a thing people use, without the seams.
Vision, voice and LLM systems wired into products that work — real-time call agents, defect inspection, image understanding. Not slideware.
Production phone systems with Twilio and realtime speech — answering, screening, transcribing and placing calls at scale. See Ringly.
Firmware, cameras, sensors and IoT — the electrical-engineering roots. At home from the schematic to the OTA update.
Database, auth, billing, APIs and a front end worth using. Shipped to the App Store, Google Play and live production servers.
The studio ships its own products — the best evidence of how we’ll build yours. They all live, with honest status labels, at Axonode.

AI phone secretary — answers, screens and places calls in a human voice. A full SaaS with billing and telephony.
Live
Photo-to-calendar app powered by GPT-5 vision. Published on the App Store and Google Play.
Live
Cantonese Jyutping typing tutor — per-key drills, tone practice and real sentences, fully offline. On the App Store and Google Play.
Live
Receipt-printer toolkit — test pages, codepage diagnosis and garbled-text fixes for ESC/POS printers. Live on Google Play; iOS on the way.
Live on Play
A narrative game about living and working with AI — built in Godot, bilingual. Wishlist it on Steam.
ComingWe agree on what’s actually needed and what it’ll really take. No padding, no theatre — if something’s a bad idea, we’ll say so.
One team that understands the hardware, the backend and the interface means fewer hand-offs, fewer seams, and a faster path to working software.
It goes live, it gets supported, and it keeps running — these products are on real servers and stores right now, not in a drawer.
Lampstand Technology is led by Marcus Lam — an engineer who’s spent a career moving between electronics, software and IT, and never liked the walls between them. We take work end to end: design the board, write the firmware, build the backend, train the model and ship the app.
That range is the whole point. A camera product becomes a cloud service; an idea on a Friday becomes something on the App Store. The proof is the work — live products with paying users and a deliberately honest label on everything that isn’t finished yet.
If you have something real to build — a product, a prototype, an AI feature that has to actually work — let’s talk.
Tell us what you’re trying to make. Whether it’s a full product, a prototype, or one stubborn AI feature — we’ll tell you honestly how we’d approach it.
