Our Story
From Scrap-It to XtraSpec — Engineering Tomorrow’s Systems Today.
Origins
XtraSpec began with a simple belief: technology should transform complexity into clarity.
Our roots trace back to Scrap-It, born in 2019 at the Farmingdale State College business plan competition. What started as a junk removal business evolved into building systems that remove inefficiencies from businesses everywhere.
Legacy
Shannon Williams – The Architect
Our first CTO who laid the technical foundation. His work still powers the framework of ObsidianCore™.
Sayem – The Rising CTO
Once a junior developer, he stepped up to lead. Sayem pushed us into the spotlight with CNN features and high-profile connections. His legacy lives on in Sayem AI and The Sayem Standard, our commitment to building AI with humanity.
Family & Future
Cynthia Davis (Lead Investor / Healthcare Advisor) and Dr. Avery Davis (Strategic Healthcare Advisor) remind us that technology must serve people, not just profits.
Today
Today, XtraSpec is powered by ObsidianCore™, our proprietary AI engine designed to automate, accelerate, and adapt for enterprises across industries — from healthcare to logistics to finance.
We’re not just building AI. We’re building the future of work — with legacy, purpose, and precision at its core.
“When I started Scrap-It, I never imagined it would grow into building AI systems that redefine how businesses operate. This journey has been shaped by visionaries like Shannon and Sayem, and supported by my family, Cynthia and Dr. Avery Davis, who remind me to keep people at the heart of technology. At XtraSpec, we’re not just building automation — we’re building systems that think, adapt, and accelerate human progress.”
