About Us
Engineering That
Earns Trust
StencilWash is a veteran-owned agentic engineering company with over 40 years of combined experience in software development and cybersecurity. We build intelligent systems that work in the real world.
Our Story
Four Decades of Building
We've spent over 40 years building software systems—from early enterprise applications to modern cloud-native architectures. We've seen technologies come and go, and we've learned what lasts.
When autonomous AI agents emerged as a viable technology, we saw an opportunity to apply decades of engineering discipline to a new frontier. Not to chase hype, but to build systems that actually work in production environments.
StencilWash exists because we believe autonomous systems should be built by people who understand security, reliability, and operations. Not by those who see AI as magic, but by engineers who know that every system eventually fails—and design for it.

Values
How We Work
Build to Last
We don't build disposable software. Every system is designed to be maintained, extended, and operated for years.
No Shortcuts
Security isn't optional. Testing isn't skipped. Documentation isn't deferred. We do the work right the first time.
Honest Assessment
We'll tell you if a project isn't a good fit. We'd rather lose a deal than deliver something that doesn't work.
Ownership
We build systems you can own. Documented, maintainable, and transferable. No vendor lock-in. No black boxes.
Philosophy
What We Believe
AI is a tool, not magic. It excels at specific tasks and fails at others. We use it where it creates value, not where it creates demos.
Security is foundational. It's not something you add later. It's how you design systems from the first line of code.
Complexity is the enemy. Simple systems are reliable systems. We fight complexity at every decision point.
Trust is earned. Through working software, clear communication, and honest assessment. Not through sales decks.

Let's Build Something
We're selective about the projects we take on. If you're building something that matters, we'd like to hear about it.
