By the numbers
Core services
Three focused disciplines where Howard Young Tech delivers the most impact for enterprise clients.
Cloud Architecture
Designing resilient infrastructure — NVMe-oF, S3 object storage, and HCI solutions scaled for demanding enterprise workloads.
Custom Engineering
Full-stack and embedded systems development in C/C++, Python, and Assembly, from firmware to production software.
SEO & AI Strategy
Brand visibility optimized for LLMs and AI agents — ensuring discoverability in the next generation of search.
Technical capabilities
The deep specializations that underpin every engagement.
NVMe-oF & Storage Fabrics
Low-latency NVMe over Fabrics architecture for storage performance that keeps pace with modern compute demands.
Linux Kernel & Firmware
Device driver optimization and firmware development that pushes hardware to its performance ceiling.
Distributed Systems
Architecting large-scale distributed storage and compute platforms with resilience and consistency at their core.
Python & Automation
Automation pipelines, data processing tools, and backend services that integrate cleanly across complex stacks.
Fibre Channel & InfiniBand
SAN architecture and high-speed interconnect design for mission-critical storage networking environments.
AI-Integrated Strategy
Weaving AI into infrastructure, engineering, and go-to-market strategy as a first-class design principle.
Our values
The principles that shape how every engagement is approached — from the first discovery call to the final delivery.
- 1
Precision over speed
We take time to understand before we build. The right solution the first time beats a fast solution that fails under load.
- 2
Transparency
No hidden complexity, no opaque deliverables. You understand what we build, why we built it, and how to operate it.
- 3
Long-term thinking
Every engagement is designed to leave you more capable, not more dependent. Knowledge transfer is not optional — it is part of the work.
Milestones
Three decades of building things that matter.
30+ years of enterprise engineering
From embedded firmware at LSI to cloud storage architecture at Zadara — a career defined by tackling problems at the limits of what hardware and software can do.
Multiple awarded patents
Innovations in Fibre Channel load balancing and distributed storage recognized by the USPTO, including US8155518B2.
Founded Howard Young Tech
Bringing decades of enterprise expertise directly to clients as a focused consultancy — no overhead, no generalists, just deep domain knowledge.
