Three ways to partner
Consulting

Strategy, audits, and a modernization roadmap for your existing site or portal.

Build with us

We design, build, and ship the software — then hand it off or keep it running.

Acquire & operate

For owners looking to exit or partner, we acquire and modernize the business itself.

What we do

Consulting, custom software, and acquisition — built around your customers.

01

Modernization Advisory

Your existing site or customer portal is working — but it's showing its age. We audit what you have, quantify the risk and lost revenue, and lay out a pragmatic roadmap to modernize without disrupting the customers you've spent years earning.

Fractional CTO for Small Business

Most small businesses don't need a full-time CTO — they need a trusted technical partner. We sit alongside owners and operators to set technology strategy, vet vendors, oversee builds, and make sure the software actually moves the business forward.

Quis Pulsat — Something's knocking. Dare to answer?

Quis Pulsat

Something's knocking. Dare to answer?

Quis Pulsat is an investigation app for iPhone. Set the phone down in a room that feels off. It learns the room, then watches the sensors already on the device. When a reading leaves that baseline, it saves the moment as its own lead.

A magnetic field that jumps. A step in air pressure. A sound in a quiet room. Motion while the phone should be still. A hit is an unusual physical reading — not proof that something supernatural caused it. The app never folds those readings into one score.

How a session works

  1. Name the place and start a session.
  2. The phone learns the room's baseline.
  3. Each detector works on its own. Two sensors crossing a threshold at the same time stay two leads.
  4. Every hit keeps the time, the sensor, how far it moved, the threshold it crossed, and a short sample of what the phone recorded.

What you can watch

  • Anomalies with camera depth and LiDAR on supported iPhones — walls drawn until you move.
  • Nearby devices: Bluetooth, NFC tag on start, and Ultra Wideband distance in a session.
  • Separate gauges for magnetometer, barometer, microphone, motion, compass, and location.
  • A sensitivity dial from guarded to keen, and a reopenable log with samples around each hit.

Founder's statement

Eric Kern

CEO, Lincoln Consulting · CEO, ZerothGuard · CTO, Anything vs. Anything · CTO, Neo-Tech

I've been writing code since I was 13 — long before titles like CTO or Distinguished Engineer meant anything to me. Back then, I was simply fascinated by how a few lines of code could bring an idea to life. That same energy still drives me today.

As CEO of Lincoln Consulting, and CTO of both Anything vs. Anything and Neo-Tech, I focus on delivering engineering-led innovation — building agentic AI systems, cloud platforms, and secure software that turn ambitious ideas into production reality.

Three decades in, with 125+ patents and a career spanning Distinguished Engineer roles and pioneering work in accessible, ethical AI, my mission is simple: use technology to expand what people — and organizations — are capable of.
