Production AI, data, cloud and security systems for federal programs.
One team designs, builds and delivers agentic AI, machine learning, data platforms, APIs, cloud infrastructure and security engineering. We build the working system, prove it on real data, and hand over software that meets federal security and compliance standards and matches the best commercial products in finish.
Artificial intelligence and ML systems
The core of the practice: production machine learning delivered inside federal agencies, led by a Kaggle Top 200 data scientist.

Agents that call your tools, follow your rules, and leave an audit trail an authorizing official can read.
Generative AI
LLM applications tuned on your documents and deployed inside your boundary, GovCloud or air-gapped.
