20+ Years of Platform Depth

NJRSA is a specialist consultancy delivering Android platform and embedded engineering to product teams that need deep-stack capability without the overhead of a permanent hire.

Our principal has spent two decades building at the intersection of hardware and software — from embedded Linux and UI runtimes through to Android AOSP for VR headsets and graphics framework work for flagship mobile. That breadth means we understand constraints at every layer of the stack, and can make decisions that hold from kernel to UI.

Our consulting work has delivered production code for a leading XR headset OS and a global Android mobile platform — across AOSP migrations, HAL design, graphics framework, and on-device AI.

We work best with teams facing hard platform problems — AOSP migrations, HAL design, secure video, on-device AI integration, or GPU rendering bottlenecks — where a generalist won't have the depth to resolve them quickly.
