## Services

- [Embedded Systems](https://www.internet-village.lu/services): firmware and embedded software for Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, ESP32, and STM32. Hardware bring-up through production.
- [Software Security](https://www.internet-village.lu/services): secure development in Rust, static and dynamic code analysis, LLVM-based obfuscation, reverse-engineering hardening, WebAssembly sandboxing, mobile RE hardening, and GDPR-aware data handling.
- [Mobile Applications (mobile solutions)](https://www.internet-village.lu/services): cross-platform iOS and Android applications in Flutter and Dart, with offline sync, accessibility, BLE / NFC / RFID hardware integration, and store release engineering. Used in the hero as "mobile solutions" to cover both consumer apps and field-deployed mobile tools.
- [Web Development](https://www.internet-village.lu/services): Astro, Next.js, and TypeScript, with WebAssembly modules compiled from Rust and Three.js for interactive 3D.
- [AI Integration](https://www.internet-village.lu/services): backend services in Python (FastAPI) and Node.js / TypeScript that ship **chatbots**, **recommendation systems**, **RAG knowledge bases**, and **MCP-based agent tooling**. LLM stack: Mistral, Ollama, and self-hosted models (vLLM, llama.cpp). MCP servers built with FastMCP. Pi Agent for in-house multi-agent orchestration.
- [System Integration](https://www.internet-village.lu/services): REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and webhook integration. Odoo for ERP / CRM. Stripe and SoftBank SBPS for payments. Shopify for hosted storefronts when needed. Traefik as API gateway / reverse proxy.

## In the lab (active R&D, not productised)

- **RTK GNSS over digital TV** (exploring): high-precision positioning corrections carried over a digital TV broadcast channel, for places where NTRIP-over-internet is not an option.
- **ESP32 + LoRa mesh** (prototyping): long-range, self-healing mesh communication for distributed sensor fleets without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

These are research projects, not current offerings. If they intersect with a real problem, get in touch.

## Featured case studies

## Founder

Internet Village was founded by **Lionel Bergeret** (M.Sc. Computer Science, Université de Namur, Belgium). Twenty years of prior engineering work in Brussels and Tokyo:

- Sony TechSoft Europe, Brussels (2000–2007): real-time video streaming, MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 / AAC engines on Nucleus, VxWorks, and embedded Linux.
- Sony Corporation, Tokyo (2007–2010): VOD streaming on VxWorks and Linux, inter-processor communication, ARM boot-time optimisation, UPnP / DLNA.
- PacketVideo Japan, Tokyo (2010–2014): software security for content protection on iOS and Android, LLVM-based obfuscation, HEVC playback on iOS.
- Safecast, Tokyo (2011–2015): designed radiation sensors (including the bGeigie Nano) and the global mapping platform that aggregates their readings. Good Design Awards 2013 (sensor design) and 2014 (mapping solution).
- Trainspot KK, Tokyo (2015–today, current role): CTO. Event-technology platform with cloud backends supporting >100k users per event, NFC-based payments and access control on Raspberry Pi and Famoco devices, NVIDIA Jetson computer-vision pipelines, BLE beacon networks, cross-platform mobile apps. The platform was productised as **Event Stacks** in 2023; see eventstacks.io.
