About

Building the platform for smart systems

Numurus is a Seattle-based software company focused on one problem: making edge AI accessible to teams that build real-world hardware systems.

Our Story

Why we started

Teams building smart systems - robots, autonomous vehicles, sensor arrays, industrial automation - spend most of their time on infrastructure. Connecting hardware, wiring up AI models, writing automation logic, managing deployments. The actual application work gets a fraction of the effort.

Numurus was founded in 2017 to fix that. We build NEPI (Numurus Edge Platform Interface), an open-source software platform that handles roughly 90% of what smart systems need out of the box. Teams customize the remaining 10% for their specific application.

Projects that used to take 12-18 months now ship in weeks. Two engineers can do the work that previously required a full embedded software team.

What we do

Three product lines, one mission: get your smart system to production faster.

NEPI Software

Open-source edge AI platform built on ROS 2. Plug-and-play drivers, AI model deployment, low-code automation, and browser-based monitoring. Available under BSD-3 license with educational, professional, and enterprise tiers.

NEPI-Enabled Hardware

OEM edge-compute processors and packaged systems pre-loaded with NEPI. Tested, configured, and ready to deploy on NVIDIA Jetson and x86 platforms.

Engineering Services

Software development, hardware prototyping, system integration, and ongoing project support. Our team works alongside yours to get from concept to deployed product.

Industries we serve

NEPI works across sectors where hardware meets AI at the edge.

Leadership

The team behind Numurus and NEPI.

Jason Seawall

CEO & Founder

Jason founded Numurus in 2017 with the goal of building the standard software platform for edge AI systems. His background in embedded systems, robotics, and ocean engineering shaped NEPI's focus on real-world hardware integration and practical automation.

Dannielle Jardine

Director of Sales & Marketing

Dannielle leads Numurus sales and marketing efforts, connecting teams across scientific research, education, and industry with the tools they need to build and deploy smart systems.

Patents

Intellectual property

Numurus holds USPTO patent US 12/222,307B2 covering the core Smart Edge Platform technology that powers NEPI. This patent covers the architecture for standardized hardware abstraction, automated device recognition, and edge-native AI deployment that differentiates NEPI from general-purpose robotics frameworks.

NEPI is released under the BSD-3 open-source license, giving teams full access to the source code while Numurus retains the underlying platform patents.

Vision

Where we're headed

Every industry that uses sensors, cameras, or actuators will eventually need an edge AI platform. Today, most teams build that layer from scratch. We're building the standard platform so they don't have to.

Our long-term goal: a partner-run ecosystem of NEPI-compatible applications, drivers, and AI models - the same trajectory that Microsoft built with Windows, applied to smart systems at the edge.
