IoT and Edge AI - The work
- Feature development, bug fixing, code review, automated testing, issue analysis and technical documentation.
- The toolkit
- Claude Code in the terminal and VS Code, using several Claude models. Custom review and testing skills, a safety check that stops secrets and destructive commands, and a connection to ClearBlade's internal tools.
The challenge
Move the product forward.
Keep the engineering discipline.
ClearBlade builds IoT and Edge AI software for critical infrastructure systems. The work spans large codebases and streaming IoT data. Deltaforge brought IoT engineering experience and parallel subagents to it, supported by a repeatable workflow for planning, testing and review.
As an industrial software company, ClearBlade builds with AI, not just for it. Deltaforge uses Claude to accelerate engineering on the ClearBlade platform and delivers high-quality, well-tested code on aggressive deadlines.
The approach
A clear path from intent to merge.
A workflow built on Claude Code: plan with the model, prove the bug, fix it, review it.
- 01
Plan
Scope the change with Claude before writing code.
- 02
Prove
Reproduce the bug with a failing test.
- 03
Fix
Implement the fix until the test passes.
- 04
Review
Run a custom review skill before code merge.
Boundaries built into the workflow
A safety check stops secrets and destructive commands.
Repeatable by design
Reusable skills and a connection to internal tools support the daily work.
The results
The work, in numbers.
