About Starisian Technologies

Starisian Technologies is a software development company focused on building specialized digital systems for cultural preservation, creative economies, and intelligent content infrastructure. We design and engineer modular, enterprise-grade tools that transform complex human expression --- language, music, story, identity --- into structured, scalable, and machine-ready digital assets.

Our work sits at the intersection of software engineering, digital archiving, AI readiness, and community empowerment. Every product we build is designed for real-world conditions: low bandwidth environments, mobile-first users, multilingual data, and long-term archival integrity. We prioritize robustness, transparency, and ethical data stewardship over short-term convenience.

Starisian Technologies develops and maintains the core software stack powering the Ai West Africa ecosystem, SPARXSTAR platform services, and affiliated cultural technology initiatives. While AiWA owns the cultural corpus and data, Starisian Technologies designs, builds, and licenses the underlying software systems that make those initiatives possible.

Core Products and Systems

SPARXSTAR Starmus Audio Recorder
A field-ready, offline-capable recording and submission system designed for structured oral history, linguistic data collection, music capture, and community archiving. Includes resumable uploads, device environment sensing, automated processing pipelines, and provenance tracking.

SPARXSTAR Starmus Audio Processing & Workflow Engine
A modular post-processing pipeline for audio mastering, waveform generation, transcription, translation, editorial review, and AI-training packaging. Built to maintain full audit trails, legal consent linkage, and archival integrity across every stage.

SPARSSTAR User Environment Check (UEC)
A device and network intelligence system that profiles user environments to optimize recording, upload, and playback behavior in regions with unstable connectivity. Enables adaptive strategies for African and emerging-market infrastructure.

SPARXSTAR Platform Infrastructure
A multi-tenant WordPress-based ecosystem providing automated onboarding, identity management, content pipelines, AI services, and marketplace integration for creatives, educators, and community contributors.

AI West Africa Linguistic & Cultural Data Systems
Schema-driven lexicon, artifact, and oral history management systems built around international metadata standards (LMF, TEI, Dublin Core, CIDOC-CRM), designed for long-term preservation and AI-readiness.

AI Training & Orchestration Services
Secure packaging, manifest generation, and job orchestration services for transcription, translation, and model training using external AI infrastructure such as AWS SageMaker, with full provenance logging.

We build systems that respect human origin, cultural ownership, and data sovereignty.
We engineer for longevity, not trends.
We design for communities, not just users.
We deliver software that scales responsibly --- technically, ethically, and economically.

• Micro-operators & SMEs: one-to-five-person teams that must do everything, fast.\
• Creators & Labels: direct-to-fan commerce, support, and releases without extra headcount.\
• Community Programs & NGOs: helplines, intake, and case follow-up that work on low bandwidth and older devices.\

• Record on anything; analyze in WAV. (For speech tools, reliability beats novelty.)\
• Offline-tolerant and low-bandwidth. Sync when the network cooperates.\
• Phone-first UX. If it’s not great on a $50 Android, it’s not done.\
• Multilingual by default. Interfaces and content can be translated and localized.\
• Transparent ethics. Consent, data minimization, right-to-export, right-to-forget.\
• Measurable impact. We track time saved, income uplift, and opportunity created.\

• One-person productivity: answer the phone, reply to chat and email, and fulfill orders from a single screen.\
• Time to resolution: fewer handoffs; first-contact success.\
• Owned audience growth: subscribers and repeat buyers, not just clicks.\
• Income per hour: practical lift for solo operators and small teams.\

• Market stall → modern shop: catalog via camera, WhatsApp orders, on-screen price guidance, instant follow-ups.\
• Indie label → lean operation: release pages, ticketing, support inbox, and fan messaging from one dashboard.\
• Community helpline → consistent care: scripted intake, voice notes to text, case timelines, and multilingual summaries.\

Starisian Technologies designs modular, service-oriented software systems for structured cultural data capture, audio processing, AI orchestration, and long-term digital preservation. The architecture is built around three core principles:

1. Schema-driven data integrity
2. Offline-first and low-bandwidth resilience
3. Full provenance, auditability, and consent linkage

All systems are designed to operate in mobile-first field environments while maintaining enterprise-grade archival and AI-readiness standards.

Frontend Layer

• WordPress multisite network (primary application shell)
• Custom block and shortcode interfaces
• Progressive Web App (PWA) behaviors
• Offline-first recording and caching
• Peaks.js waveform and segment editon
• REST API + background sync

Application Layer

• Modular WordPress plugin ecosystem
• PSR-4 OOP PHP architecture
• Centralized schema enforcement via ACF JSON
• Custom post types for structured assets:
  • audio-recording
  • starmus_transcript
  • starmus_translate
  • starmus_script
  • release entities
• Custom taxonomies for language, dialect, project, workflow

Service Layer

• Recording ingestion and resumable upload (TUS protocol)
• Post-processing pipeline services
• Waveform and preview generation services
• AI job orchestration services
• SageMaker / external AI client abstraction
• Fixity, hashing, and health monitoring services
• Provenance and audit logging services

Data Layer

• WordPress post/meta storage for structured metadata
• JSON fields for time-indexed transcription and translation data
• Object storage (S3 / R2 compatible) for audio and media
• Attachment metadata linking
• Optional external database tables for job queues

AI Orchestration Layer

• Training and inference job packaging
• Manifest generation referencing:
  • Audio objects
  • Language metadata
  • Consent and classification metadata
  • Script and transcription asset
• Secure dispatch to external AI services (e.g., AWS SageMaker)
• Returned metadata stored as immutable provenance JSON

Identity & Compliance Layer

• Contributor identity and consent management
• Two-factor enforcement integration
• Environment fingerprinting (UEC)
• Role-based access control
• Data classification and anonymization flags
• Consent-bound processing enforcement

• No AI job submission without verified consent scope

The result is a platform capable of:

• Field data capture at scale
• Editorial refinement with full audit trails
• AI-ready corpus generation
• Long-term cultural preservation
• Responsible and consent-bound AI training

All built as modular, replaceable, standards-aligned software systems.

Headquartered in San Diego with active collaborations in West Africa (starting in The Gambia). We co-build with local teams, schools, and creative communities to keep tools culturally accurate and truly useful.\

• Data stewardship aligned with California standards; clear retention controls.\
• Consent-forward design (export, deletion, and non-coercive onboarding).\
• Ethical use of assistive automation: human override, audit trails, and plain-language explanations.\

Starisian Technologies builds assistive automation for small teams in underserved regions, specializing in ethical, impact-driven technology. Our platform unifies calls, chat, email, and workflows so one person can deliver enterprise-level service from a single screen. With products like Starmus (speech tools), SPARXSTAR (creator growth), and Sky (LLM Ai Model), we make advanced capabilities usable on low-cost phones and low bandwidth.

To this end, we also develop scalable tools for cultural preservation, education, creative empowerment, and digital infrastructure — which powers our platforms and businesses like AiWA, SPARXSTAR, Afrobeats Africa, and StepUp Artisan. With a deep focus on responsible AI, inclusive UX, and cross-cultural data stewardship, Starisian is redefining how software can serve people, not just platforms. As demand grows for human-centered digital tools, Starisian stands at the forefront — building the systems that empower communities, creators, and change-makers around the world.

Headquartered in Pasadena, California with partners in The Gambia, West Africa, Starisian Technologies focuses on measurable outcomes: time saved, income uplift, and opportunity created.
