Frequently Asked Questions

Humanjava takes work the whole way, from UX research and service design through strategy, pitch deck, and a working MVP you can ship. The same hands do the discovery, the information architecture, the design system, the prototype, and the build, so nothing is lost in a handoff. Human for the people at the center of every decision, java for the technology that serves them.

It is a solo consultancy. Vergel Evans does the work directly, with no account layer and no junior team learning on your project. When a piece needs a specialist or a build partner, that gets arranged openly, but the thinking, the design, and most of the building are the same pair of hands from start to finish.

All sizes. The track record runs from large regulated organizations, investment banking at CIBC, government service design for Ontario and Alberta, financial services at Aviso Wealth, through mission-driven organizations where trust and data stewardship matter as much as the ship date, down to founders with a pitch deck and an idea. A solo practice can sit at the table with a bank and still move at a startup's pace, which is the point.

Yes, and a lot of the work lives there. I build privacy-by-design platforms for high-trust settings, shipped to production. That has meant consent that travels with every audio recording, where nothing is shared until it is cleared; classroom tools with no child accounts, where students sign in with a printed card and there are no names, emails, or tracking; and data hosted in Canada. The capability is building systems where trust and data stewardship are designed in from the first decision, not bolted on later.

Yes, and that is a lot of the work. One recent example: a health savings app went from a pitch deck to a working MVP on open protocols, data models, API workflows, a step counter, and a live banking flow, with 1,800 people joining and getting paid out before it was handed to a dev team. The point is to get past slideware to something real people can use.

Whatever the job actually needs, across the full arc: discovery and UX research, service design, information architecture, design systems in Figma, accessible interface design to WCAG 2.2, prototyping, and shipping a working build. You can hire for one part or the whole span. It is shaped around the real problem, not a fixed package.

On the design side, Figma design systems with brand tokens, information architecture, and accessibility to WCAG 2.2. On the build side, TypeScript, open protocols, agentic AI development, and self-hosted real-time systems, including a bilingual voice engine running at about 215 ms and sovereign identity built on Nostr. Comfortable in regulated stacks with audit trails and compliance constraints, and able to run AI on infrastructure you control rather than a rented endpoint.

It is building small, purpose-tuned AI tools and workflows that do one real job well, rather than pointing a giant general model at everything. A sharp, owned tool with a clear task usually beats a bigger distracted one, and it is easier to trust, test, and keep running. One recent build went from an archived open-source project to a four-platform product in five days this way. Backed by more than a thousand automated tests and staging-first releases, agentic development lets me deliver production-grade software at a pace and scope that once needed a full team.

Yes. When data cannot leave the building, or the behavior has to hold perfectly still, renting a model from a big provider is the wrong call. A tuned model can run on hardware you control, and turn on only when there is work for it, so you get the privacy of owning without the cost of always-on.

Pin the exact model version, package the model, prompts, and tools together as one immutable release you can roll back to, and keep baseline evaluations running on a schedule so a regression gets caught before your clients do. Trust the tool, and verify it anyway.

It means identity and keys that you own and control, rather than rent from a platform that can change the terms or lock you out. The NostrKey suite is built on open Nostr protocols for key management, signing, and an encrypted vault across devices, where your keys never leave your machine. The thesis behind everything here: the future we build, we build together with technology.

No. Humanjava Enterprises does not have a cryptocurrency coin or token, and is not participating in any token sale, ICO, airdrop, or blockchain-based fundraising of any kind. If someone is offering a Humanjava token or anything similar, it is not affiliated with us. Our products use open protocols, but they are paid for with regular money.
