A Virginia company, deliberately small.
DregsBane Systems LLC is a Virginia company, formed April 2026, building infrastructure against physical neglect: Trash Trail, a public litter-and-water map that is live today, and CrustBot, a route-class cleanup robot in bench build.
It is deliberately small — everything on this site was designed, built, benchmarked, and deployed in-house. The build log is the honest record of who we are: what shipped, what didn't, and what the numbers actually say.

DregsBane was founded in April 2026 by Andrew Watson, after four years at Amazon building ML platform and release-quality infrastructure for the Fire TV, Fire Tablet, and Echo device programs — model evaluation, automated retraining, and commit-triggered test selection running across a hundred-plus CI pipelines.
He studied Computer Science and Economics at NYU, graduating in 2022 as a Presidential Honors Scholar. That evaluation background is most of why this site leads with measurements rather than claims — it is the same discipline that catches a detector class scoring a perfect 1.00 on its own test split and 3% on real photographs, which is exactly what happened here in August.
