Peak Values Consulting builds smarter systems for complex industries with the kind of hands-on expertise you won’t find on a typical development team.
We’re a boutique group of data scientists, software engineers, and analysts with deep industry experience. We specialize in developing custom tools and intelligent systems for energy, renewables, industrial operations, and research-driven organizations. Whether it’s optimizing refinery throughput, modeling renewable production, forecasting demand, or simulating physical systems, we deliver solutions that are both technically rigorous and practically impactful.
We partner closely with our clients, often in ambiguous, high-stakes environments to design and prototype systems that work in the real world. From early concept to deployment, we move fast, think critically, and build with purpose.
In addition to our work with energy and industrial clients, we also support SaaS and technology companies with applied AI/ML, backend architecture, and product development needs. If your product involves algorithms, data pipelines, simulations, or anything “too mathematical for most dev shops,” that’s our sweet spot.
