KeyQ is a Vermont-based cloud solutions and software development consultancy. We design, build, and manage cloud infrastructure and custom software for businesses that need more than off-the-shelf answers. From the infrastructure layer to the application layer, we deliver solutions that work in production, not just in demos. We are a boutique shop that punches above its weight. You will never be a ticket number. Every client works directly with senior engineers who understand both the technology and the business problem, and we limit our engagements so each one gets the focus it deserves. Based in Vermont with clients across the globe, we bring the focus of a small team and the capability of a much larger one.
What We Do
Cloud Infrastructure: AWS architecture, migration, optimization, and managed services, built to scale predictably and keep costs in check.
Software Development: Full-stack web and mobile applications powered by Kyte, our proprietary framework, optimized for performance on modern ARM infrastructure.
Bioinformatics: Flow cytometry, spatial biology, NGS, and multi-omics analysis through our Cytogence division. Cloud-native research computing for medical and life-science teams.
Streaming and Media: Production-proven live streaming, media delivery, and broadcast infrastructure that holds up at scale.
E-Commerce: Purpose-built storefronts and platforms for verticals where templates fall short.
Why KeyQ
Technical depth: We understand systems at every level, from kernel-level ARM optimization to distributed architecture, so we solve problems others cannot diagnose.
Results-focused: We measure success by outcomes, not hours logged.
Ownership: We treat your infrastructure and codebases as our own, and we are truly responsible for what we run, not just available during business hours.
Craftsmanship over volume: We take on work we can do excellently, and we would rather say no than than ship something mediocre.

KeyQ was founded on a simple idea: businesses deserve cloud partners who understand both the technology and the business problem. We are a Vermont-based consultancy spanning cloud infrastructure, full-stack software, bioinformatics, and streaming media. A small, senior team, not a body shop. You are never a ticket number. We design precise, production-ready solutions on AWS and our Kyte framework, ship them fast, and treat what we run as our own.
