What Woody Creek Productions, Inc. does

Woody Creek is a Seattle-headquartered, full-stack IoT consulting firm founded in 2021 by Paul Dietrich and Aanand Esterberg. The firm offers end-to-end services across the IoT development lifecycle, including technology strategy, system architecture, sensor selection, hardware design, embedded software, wireless connectivity (WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, 802.15.4, UHF RFID, NFC), RFID system deployment, security, cloud integration, AI/ML algorithm development, and remote monitoring/maintenance at scale. Its underlying technical practice spans sensor signal capture, embedded systems, wireless protocol stacks, and cloud/serverless infrastructure, with AI/ML applied to time-series sensor data for actionable insights.

The firm targets three primary client types: enterprises seeking unbiased technology assessment and IoT strategy, device developers needing architecture and implementation support, and standards organizations requiring objective technical analysis. Customer segments overlap into supply chain, retail, and industrial RFID-visibility use cases. The business operates exclusively via direct B2B engagement initiated through a website contact form, with quote-based, project-specific pricing and multi-year contracts; there are no disclosed channel partners, marketplace listings, or standardized rate cards.

Woody Creek is privately held by its two co-founders with no external investors or parent company. Its competitive differentiation rests on the combined 38+ issued patents of the founders, their advanced credentials (Stanford MSEE, UCSD PhD), and the breadth of their wireless and signal-processing expertise. Distribution is limited to a self-published TechBlog and founder LinkedIn profiles, and no revenue, funding, customer logos, or headcount beyond the two founders is publicly disclosed.
