About

Technology changes quickly. Real-world problems usually do not.

TechBlackboard exists to bridge the gap between new technology and the realities of organisations, people and physical environments.

We are a technology group that builds its own products, advises organisations on technology decisions, and runs applied research in real environments. Those three activities are deliberately connected: the consulting keeps the products honest about what organisations can absorb, and the Labs work keeps the advice honest about what actually survives outside a demo.

Principles

How we work

Six positions we hold consistently, including when they cost us work.

  1. Context before technology.

    A solution that ignores how an organisation actually works is a proposal, not a system.

  2. Appropriate over excessive.

    Capability you cannot maintain is a liability, not an asset.

  3. Build before buzz.

    We ship our own products and run our own hardware. Our opinions come with scars.

  4. Evidence before assumptions.

    Measure first. Most performance and process problems are not where people expect.

  5. Systems should work in the real world.

    Intermittent networks, limited power, users in a hurry. Design for the bad day.

  6. Technology should create capability, not dependency.

    A good engagement ends with your team more able to operate without us.

People

Leadership

Narapat Patcharapornpun

Founder / Technology Architect

More than two decades of experience across enterprise applications, solution architecture, workflow automation and digital transformation — spanning enterprise platforms, sustainability technology, AI, data systems and applied field technology.

That experience includes Salesforce, SharePoint, K2, Excel/VBA-based operational systems, enterprise architecture and emerging technologies — with a consistent bias towards choosing technology for its context rather than its novelty.

Work with us

We take on a small number of engagements at a time, which is why the first conversation matters.
