Boston is a major North American biotech centre and home to a dense concentration of AI research (MIT CSAIL, Harvard, MGH, Broad Institute, IBM Research Cambridge). NKKTech designs AI for Boston biotech, pharma, EdTech and Cambridge AI scale-ups. HIPAA + FDA + 21 CFR Part 11 awareness baked in for healthcare AI. Research-to-production translation for academic spin-outs. Singapore-law MSA via NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd. ET overlap managed via a dedicated 4-hour daily live window (8 AM–12 PM ET) + async-first culture.
Six engagement patterns that fit Boston-based companies — Kendall Square biotech, Longwood Medical, Cambridge AI scale-ups, Route 128 enterprises and Seaport SaaS. Built for FDA + HIPAA rigour and the velocity Boston scientific-software buyers expect.
HIPAA + 21 CFR Part 11 (electronic records + signatures) + FDA SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) guidance built into engagement defaults for healthcare + biotech work. Data classification matrix, BAA templates, validated-systems documentation, audit logging, IQ/OQ/PQ patterns for regulated environments. Compliance-aware design from day one.
Biotech, pharma and clinical-research teams: clinical-trial document automation, multilingual literature review agents, chem-document OCR, electronic lab notebook (ELN) integrations, regulatory submission automation (FDA IND/NDA/BLA). We work to GxP standards by default.
Taking academic prototypes from MIT CSAIL, Harvard SEAS, Broad Institute, or BU AI&DS to production-ready systems. Typical starting point: research code that works on benchmarks but needs hardening for HIPAA-grade healthcare deployment.
Vietnam GMT+7, Boston EST/EDT (-5/-4). Our coverage: 8 PM–midnight Vietnam = 8 AM–12 PM Boston (ET) as core overlap (4 hours live daily, your morning, our evening) — standups, demos, decisions live. Senior engineers on rotation for critical escalations. Async-first documentation discipline keeps engineering moving overnight in both directions.
Hanoi → Boston requires one connection (~21-24h total via Tokyo, Doha, or Singapore). Visits by Tony or senior engineers at kickoff and critical milestones, and 2-4 week embeds for HIPAA-regulated biotech projects that need on-site validation, can be arranged when an engagement needs them (travel costs agreed in the proposal).
Default contracting entity is NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd. (Singapore UEN 202445701K). Singapore's tax treaties may reduce withholding tax depending on your jurisdiction — confirm with your tax adviser. USD invoicing via Singapore bank account. We do not have a US entity or US partner company. We can sign a BAA where the engagement needs one.
30-60 minutes via Zoom or Teams, scheduled in Boston morning hours (8 AM–12 PM ET = our 8 PM–midnight Vietnam). Tony joins for strategic; senior engineer for technical deep-dive. Outcome: written discovery summary + draft scope by next business day (overnight your time).
Singapore-law MSA + scoped SOW + USD fixed-fee quote + milestone schedule. BAA addendum for HIPAA-covered work, validated-systems documentation plan for FDA-regulated builds. Reviewable by your legal + Compliance + IRB if applicable.
ET async-first sync with 4-hour daily live overlap (Boston morning, 8 AM–12 PM ET), weekly demo (ET morning), milestone-based payment via USD invoicing. On-site visits at kickoff, mid-project and validation milestones can be arranged when the engagement needs them. Documentation discipline for FDA + HIPAA audit trails.
Production launch + full handoff documentation including validation pack for regulated builds. Optional retainer agreement (USD monthly) for ongoing operations + feature work — typical retainer USD 13-26K/month with locked engineer hours + SLA. Quarterly business reviews in Boston time.
Biotech and pharma companies: clinical-trial document automation, multilingual literature review, chem-document OCR, ELN integrations, FDA regulatory submission automation (IND/NDA/BLA). GxP-validated patterns. Engagement starts USD 80-180K fixed-fee.
Hospitals, health systems and healthcare startups: clinical decision support, multilingual patient-communication agents, document OCR for EMR + insurance, predictive analytics. HIPAA + Mass 201 CMR 17 + EU GDPR for international cohorts.
Boston MedTech HQs + Cambridge MedTech startups: device-data automation, regulatory documentation (FDA SaMD + EU MDR), multilingual labelling automation, post-market surveillance. ISO 13485 + IEC 62304-aware patterns.
Universities and EdTech companies: knowledge-base agents (multilingual), course-material automation, student-service AI, research-collaboration tools. FERPA + university IT governance patterns supported.
Cambridge + Kendall Square + Seaport AI scale-ups: research-code-to-production hardening, AI MVP build, fixed-fee scoping, senior engineers focused on academic-to-production translation. Typical profile: academic founders, NIH/NSF grant-funded research, transition to VC-backed product.
Boston is one of the largest US asset-management centres: research summarisation, regulatory reporting automation, fraud detection, document OCR for due diligence. SEC + FINRA + Massachusetts financial regulator alignment.
Yes. We can design to HIPAA requirements and sign a BAA (via NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd.) where the engagement needs one. Technical safeguards (encryption at rest + in transit, access controls, audit logging, breach notification) and administrative safeguards (workforce training, incident response, vendor management) are scoped into the engagement.
Yes. We can design to FDA SaMD guidance + 21 CFR Part 11 (electronic records + signatures) + 21 CFR Part 820 (Quality System Regulation) requirements. Deliverables can include validated-systems documentation, IQ/OQ/PQ patterns, audit-ready logging, traceability matrix, predicate-device analysis support. Add ~4-6 weeks for FDA-grade compliance documentation on top of build timeline.
Vietnam-Boston is 11-12 hours depending on daylight saving. We commit to a 4-hour daily live overlap window: 8 AM–12 PM Boston (ET) = 8 PM–midnight Vietnam. Standups, demos, decisions live in your morning hours. Senior engineers on rotation for critical escalations. Async-first documentation discipline means engineering moves overnight in both directions.
Yes. Research-code-to-production translation for university spin-outs is an engagement we scope regularly. Typical situation: academic founders with grant-funded research code that works on benchmarks but needs hardening for HIPAA-grade healthcare deployment. We accelerate the path from prototype to validated, compliant system.
No. NKKTech contracts only via NKKTech Global Pte. Ltd. (Singapore law) or NKKTech Global JSC (Vietnam law); US companies normally contract with the Singapore entity. Singapore's tax treaties may reduce withholding tax depending on your jurisdiction — confirm with your tax adviser. USD invoicing via Singapore bank account.
AI MVP (10-14 weeks): USD 80-180K fixed-fee. HIPAA-covered biotech engagement (4-6 months): up to USD 300K per phase; larger multi-phase programmes are quoted phase by phase. Retainer (ongoing ops + feature work): USD 13-26K/month with locked engineer hours + SLA. All fixed-fee — no T&M surprises. 1-week paid scoping engagement before any large commitment to lock requirements + price.
