Customized Software For Your Business and Technical Needs
Haiku Laboratories is a small group of software developers with backgrounds in applied mathematics, statistics, programming, database design, finance and science. We are located on the north slope of Mt. Haleakala on the island of Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. We began operation in 1994 supplying customized databases and spreadsheets, network administration and support to local businesses on Maui. We've since expanded to the other Hawaiian islands, delivering software and support via the internet. We also build and support customized computers for our clients on Maui. (Partial Client List)
 We have available several core business software packages that can be easily tailored to your specific needs.
- wholsale/retail invoicing system
- accounts receivable/payable
- class registration system
- property scheduling system
- portfolio analysis software
We have developed a variety of technologies to meet the needs of our technical customers over the years, including
- optimal scheduling algorithms for property management applications;
- prediction algorithms employing Kalman filters for financial market applications;
- pattern recognition algorithms including procedures for finding the Cup-with-Handle structure in stock market data;
- data-smoothing and spectral analysis of financial and other data;
- encryption algorithms for software security.
We also offer academic support to local students and students from around the world via the internet. We have provided help in data gathering and organization, statistical analysis, mathematical modelling, programming, database design and research, to advanced degree students in such areas as public health, business administration and leadership. Contact us for rates.
We also offer tutoring services for local high school and community college students on Maui in mathematics, statistics, chemistry, physics and computer science. Tutoring is one-to-one and rates are reasonable. Contact us for more.

Rick Martinelli has a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and a Master's degree in Mathematics, both from
San Jose State. He has over 25 years experience in research and development in both private and military sectors. His main areas of expertise involve using computers to solve complex, real-world problems. His latest research interests involve applying modern statistical techniques to financial markets. He has 16 scientific publications in the open-literature, a U.S. patent and numerous technical publications. He has taught mathematics, statistics and computer science courses at various University of Hawaii campuses and for private universities.
ABOUT THE LOGO
Our logo is a geometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem: if a right triangle has
sides A and B and hypotenuse C, then C2 = A2 + B2.
The four right triangles in the box (two purple and two blue) are all identical,
just translated to other locations to form the logo’s box. If we assign the
letter C to the length of the longest side of each triangle, B to the next
longest, and A to the shortest, then the area of each triangle is ˝BA.
Furthermore, the area of the whole logo box is C2, and the area of
the small white box inside the logo box is (B - A)2. Therefore, C2
= 4(˝BA) + (B - A)2. Re-writing this equation yields the Pythagorean Theorem.
