What Opreto does

Opreto Corporation is a private custom software development agency headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, with a secondary office in Detroit, Michigan, and a fully distributed delivery model. The firm employs 11-50 senior engineers under a stated policy of "no junior hand-offs and no offshoring," and is led by four co-founders — Alan P. Laudicina (President), Xavier Spriet (VP of Technology), Aaron Mavrinac (VP of Operations), and Dylan Herbert (VP of People) — each with 20+ years of relevant experience.

Opreto sells project-based professional services organized around six service offerings: Web Application Development, Mobile Application Development, Cloud Development and DevOps, UI Design and UX Research, Computer Vision and Machine Learning, and Industrial Automation Software. Its engineering stack centers on AWS cloud-native architecture (using AWS CDK, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL, Hasura, TimescaleDB, serverless and container patterns), Electron/React for cross-platform desktop, and Python-based ML/CV pipelines. Production examples include a modernized HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for UpHealth/Martti (92% startup-time reduction), cloud-native infrastructure for Neatleaf's AI robotic cultivation platform, an offline-programming tool for Reko Automation (ParaPro), a GitHub monorepo migration for Proto Manufacturing, and an AI weld-inspection platform for an unnamed North American machine-vision provider.

The company monetizes via quote-based, senior-led engagements targeting enterprise customers in healthcare (primary), manufacturing (primary), and education (secondary) — concentrated in the Great Lakes region of Ontario and Michigan. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with website CTAs ("Schedule a Call," "Contact Us") leading to principal-engineer conversations, supplemented by content marketing (blog, case studies, LinkedIn), industry conferences (FHIR DevDays, IMTS, ROSCon), and four technology partnerships with AWS (Core), Databricks (Core), Sisense (Core), and Arduino (Secondary).
