Founder-led AI consulting and software engineering, built for practical implementation.

Pacific Codeline is a Christoph Heike-led AI consulting and software engineering firm based in Irvine, California. We help founders, executives, and CTOs turn AI opportunities into impactful, production-ready software systems — from initial strategy and architecture to MVPs, internal tools, automation workflows, and AI-powered applications.

Unlike a traditional software agency, Pacific Codeline gives clients direct access to senior technical leadership while supporting hands-on implementation when it is time to build.

AI Founder, Software Architect & Fractional AI/CTO Partner

Meet Christoph Heike.

Christoph is the founder of Greetmate.ai, an AI-powered voice communication platform, and the author of published research on advanced turn detection using parallel prompting — one of the most technically demanding problems in real-time voice AI. He is a first-place winner of a realtime AI hackathon, has received AI and technology recognition, delivered workshops and guest lectures at universities, and is involved with IEEE.

With 17+ Years of software engineering experience spanning web applications, SaaS platforms, APIs, real-time systems, and AI infrastructure, Christoph works with founders, executives, and CTOs as a fractional AI/CTO partner — helping them identify where AI creates real business value, design the right technical architecture, and build systems that work in production.

Pacific Codeline exists for companies that need more than a developer and more than a strategy consultant — a senior technical partner who can stay close to both the strategic questions and the implementation work throughout the entire engagement.

“What drives me is building AI systems that actually work in production — not just demos that look good in a slide deck. AI is only useful when it is connected to the right workflow, the right data, and the right product experience. That is what I help companies figure out, architect, and build.”

Founder, Pacific Codeline & Greetmate.ai

AI Strategy, Architecture & Implementation.

Senior-led from strategy to implementation.

Pacific Codeline combines senior AI expertise with hands-on software engineering. Clients work directly with Christoph Heike throughout the engagement — from the first strategy conversation through architecture design and into implementation. There is no handoff to a junior team, no account manager in between, and no generic playbook applied to your specific situation.

This direct model is by design. The value of the engagement comes from senior judgment applied consistently — not just at kickoff, but throughout the entire process of turning an AI idea into a working system.

How a Pacific Codeline engagement works.

A focused, senior-led process from first conversation to production system.

Discovery & AI Opportunity Assessment

We start by understanding your business, goals, and existing systems — then identify where AI can create measurable value, what is technically feasible, and what to build first.

Architecture & Technical Design

We design the technical architecture for your AI system — including data flow, model selection, RAG design, agent structure, integrations, and the application layer — before writing a line of code.

Implementation & Build

We build the system — whether that is an AI-powered MVP, internal tool, automation workflow, RAG platform, voice AI system, or production-grade application. Engineering is hands-on and senior-led throughout.

Validation & Iteration

AI systems require more than functional testing — outputs must be evaluated for quality, reliability, and business usefulness. We iterate based on real feedback, not just technical criteria.

Deployment & Production Readiness

We deploy to production with proper infrastructure, monitoring, logging, and reliability considerations — because a demo and a production system are not the same thing.

Ongoing Advisory & Optimization

AI systems improve over time with better data, better prompts, and better architecture. We provide ongoing advisory and implementation support to evolve the system as your business scales.

Senior AI expertise backed by a proven track record.

From voice AI infrastructure to RAG systems, agentic workflows to full-stack AI applications — Pacific Codeline brings both senior technical judgment and hands-on implementation to every engagement.
