Intelligence for
the Real World
Northern Edge Software is an independent software company founded by Djamil Scholtens, a full-stack engineer and systems architect with deep expertise in AI, autonomous systems, immersive simulation, and high-performance applications.
Based in Australia and delivering globally — from counter-drone systems deployed at UK prisons, to VR training simulators for emergency services and defence, to AI-powered diagnostics and intelligent fishing platforms.
Every product we build is AI-native, operationally robust, and designed for real-world use. We don't just consult — we build, deploy, and maintain production systems.
