Navigating Code Like a Solar System: The Story of LOOM and Silicon Harbor Technologies

Join Bill and his guests, Kenneth Alge and Jake Mundell, co-founders of Silicon Harbor Technologies (formerly Mental Alchemy IO) and LOOM.
Silicon Harbor Technologies is a Charleston, South Carolina-based software development and AI consulting firm specializing in custom software systems and seamless AI integration into business workflows. Founded in October 2024 by longtime collaborators Kenneth and Jake, the company began by developing a proprietary AI model, which shaped its deep focus on thoughtful system architecture, intelligent data design, and practical automation.
Over time, Silicon Harbor Technologies expanded into full-stack development, modern web design, and comprehensive AI consultation, augmentation, and integration. Today, the firm helps organizations design, connect, and scale truly intelligent systems—treating AI as a foundational element rather than a bolted-on feature. They emphasize clean structure, long-term maintainability, and real-world usability, frequently consolidating fragmented toolsets, modernizing legacy systems, and embedding AI directly into core operational workflows.
LOOM, their flagship development suite, combines practical tooling with AI assistance to transform how programmers build software. It enhances workflows, system planning, and overall operational structure. A standout feature is The Dataverse—a fully interactive 3D environment that maps entire software systems like a navigable solar system. Developers can explore their codebase visually: see connections, data flows, health metrics, and status through a clear, color-coded, interactive node graph. The Dataverse supports imported codebases, enabling teams to scan systems, trace issues, upload context, and apply targeted fixes with unprecedented clarity.
