about us

We build enterprise platforms — powered by deep-tech innovation

wHO ARE WE

Shadowcast is a specialist engineering studio with a multi-disciplinary team of:

  • Platform & systems engineers

  • AI & machine learning specialists

  • Spatial computing technologists

  • Simulation & digital twin experts

  • Computer vision engineers

  • Real-time 3D artists & game-engine developers

  • Visual artists, animators & creative technologists

Our strength is the combination of enterprise-level platform engineering and deep-tech specialism — enabling us to build systems that are powerful, scalable, immersive and future-ready.

wHAT WE BUILD

Enterprise-Scale Platforms

Large, complex systems with multi-tenant architecture, real-time data pipelines, deep integrations and long-term operational reliability.

This is the core of our business and the foundation for long-term client partnerships.

Advanced Deep-Tech Systems

AI automation engines, reasoning agents, spatial computing tools, computer-vision measurement pipelines, behaviour simulations, virtual production workflows and digital twins.

High-Tech Startup POCs & Scale-Up Platforms

We build investor-ready demos and prototypes for deep-tech startups — often solving the most challenging components first (vision, simulation, agent logic, spatial interaction). When they scale, we become the team that delivers the full production platform.

how we work

Platform-First Engineering

Architecture, workflows, data, security, performance and reliability come first — ensuring long-term stability and scalability.

Deep-Tech Where It Creates the Most Value

AI, simulation, spatial computing and computer vision are layered into platforms where they significantly enhance capability, efficiency or user experience.

End-to-End Delivery

From concept → POC → MVP → full production platform, we stay with clients across their entire journey.

Future-Proof by Design

We build systems that evolve as your organisation grows — without costly rebuilds or disruptive rewrites.

wHY ORGANISATIONS CHOOSE US

We deliver the big platforms and the advanced technology.

Most studios are either platform builders or deep-tech specialists, Shadowcast is both.

We specialise in complexity.

Large datasets, real-time workloads, immersive environments, multi-agent logic, automation engines, CV measurement and simulation — this is our comfort zone.

We combine engineering and creativity.

Our platforms are technically robust and visually compelling, integrating real-time 3D, XR and generative content where needed.

We form long-term partnerships.

Startups grow with us. Enterprises modernise with us. Creative teams collaborate with us.

We turn ambitious ideas into real systems.

What begins as a prototype becomes a fully deployed platform used daily by operators, customers and teams.

OUR tECHNOLOGY

We work across a unified deep-tech and platform engineering stack, including:

AI & ML — Transformers, LoRA, embeddings, automation pipelines

Spatial Computing — Unity, Unreal, ARKit, ARCore, Quest, Vision Pro

Simulation — Behaviour modelling, multi-agent systems, real-time environments.

Computer Vision — Detection, tracking, geometry, measurement & reconstruction.

Cloud & Infrastructure — AWS, GCP, GPU orchestration, microservices.

3D & Real-Time — WebGL, USD, Blender, Houdini, real-time rendering pipelines.

We don’t just use technology — we build the systems that push it further.

OUR pHILOSOPHY

Build the platform. Layer in deep-tech. Deliver it for the real world.

Technology should work beautifully, scale effortlessly and feel intuitive. It should solve real problems, unlock new capabilities and enable teams to do their best work. At Shadowcast, we engineer the systems behind the next generation of applications — intelligent, immersive and designed for impact. This is why clients stay with us as they grow.

Leadership

  • Craig Wiltshire — Founder & Chief Architect

Craig is a deep-tech architect specialising in large-scale platforms, AI systems engineering and advanced spatial and simulation technologies. He combines architectural leadership with hands-on engineering across agentic AI systems, computer vision, real-time 3D, cloud-native infrastructure and complex backend services. His technical development includes online MIT coursework in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics for Computer Science, alongside advanced practitioner training in agentic AI systems, LLM fine-tuning, federated learning, edge computing, computer vision, Python engineering and industrial control systems. This broad, cross-disciplinary training strengthens his ability to design and implement high-performance, intelligent systems. A former Royal Marines Commando and IPC Europa Cup downhill skier, Craig brings a high performance, real-world mindset to engineering — designing systems that are resilient, scalable and capable of operating under real-world constraints. At Shadowcast, Craig leads platform architecture and the integration of AI, simulation, spatial computing and computer vision across enterprise platforms and deep-tech products, guiding organisations from early prototypes to full production systems.
