Who We Are
Whitestone Engineering is a human-led, AI-augmented engineering firm. Our principal engineer directs a fleet of five autonomous AI agents that build, test, and ship production infrastructure around the clock. We deliver at the speed and consistency of a 10-person team with the overhead of one.
Tier 1: Agent Infrastructure
For companies that want autonomous AI agents working for them.
What We Build
- Custom AI agent deployment using our battle-tested Hermes framework
- Multi-agent fleet orchestration with persistent memory and skills systems
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) server development and integration
- Local LLM inference stacks (Ollama, vLLM, custom model serving)
- Agent-to-agent communication networks
- Cron-scheduled autonomous workflows (burn-mode operations)
- Multi-platform agent gateways (Telegram, Discord, Slack, custom)
- Self-hosted code forge setup with full CI/CD integration
Pricing
- Hourly: $400 — $600/hr
- Project: $15,000 — $25,000+
- Retainer: $8,000 — $15,000/month
Ideal Client
- AI startups building agent products
- Companies wanting to deploy internal AI workforce
- Organizations needing sovereign (self-hosted) AI infrastructure
- Teams that want agents integrated into their existing toolchain
Deliverables Include
- Deployed agent system with documentation
- Monitoring and health check dashboards
- Runbook for operations and troubleshooting
- 30 days of post-deployment support
Tier 2: Security & Hardening
For companies that already have AI systems and need them locked down.
What We Build
- AI agent security audits (jailbreak resistance, prompt injection, data exfiltration)
- Conscience validation systems (ethical guardrails that actually work)
- Crisis detection and automated response pipelines
- CVE-class vulnerability identification and remediation
- Secure agent communication protocols
- Audit logging and compliance frameworks
- Red-teaming exercises against existing AI deployments
Pricing
