Help across the full cloud lifecycle

Whether you're planning a migration, modernizing an application, or building something new, here's how we can help — engagements are scoped to your needs, not packaged into rigid tiers.

AI Services & LLM Engineering

Custom AI development, private model hosting, and production-grade LLM systems — built on open frameworks, with your data kept under your control.

What's included

  • Custom AI model development and fine-tuning around your domain and data
  • Private, self-hosted models — running on your infrastructure, with nothing leaving your walls
  • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic pipelines built with Haystack
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that connect LLMs securely to your tools and data
  • Multi-provider routing and cost control with LiteLLM and RouteLLM
  • Local inference with Ollama and llama.cpp, plus cloud models via the OpenAI API

Azure & Cloud Architecture

Well-architected cloud foundations on Microsoft Azure — secure, scalable, and built to grow with you.

What's included

  • Landing zone and subscription design aligned to the Azure Well-Architected Framework
  • Identity, networking, and governance that meet real compliance requirements
  • Infrastructure as code so your environment is repeatable and reviewable
  • Architecture reviews that turn fragile setups into resilient ones

Cloud Migration & Modernization

Move workloads to the cloud with a plan that minimizes risk and downtime — and modernize as you go.

What's included

  • Assessment and right-sizing before a single workload moves
  • Rehost, replatform, or refactor — the path that fits each application
  • Phased cutover plans that keep the business running
  • Post-migration tuning so you actually capture the cost and performance wins

Custom Software Development

Tailored applications and APIs that fit your business instead of forcing your business to fit the tool.

What's included

  • Web applications, internal tools, and integrations built to last
  • .NET, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, and cloud-native services
  • Clean, documented, maintainable code your team can own
  • Pragmatic delivery — shipping value early and iterating

Automation & DevOps

Replace manual, error-prone work with reliable pipelines and automation that free your team to do more.

What's included

  • CI/CD pipelines that build, test, and deploy with confidence
  • Workflow and process automation (PowerShell, Azure Functions, and more)
  • Monitoring and alerting so issues surface before customers notice
  • Repeatable environments through infrastructure as code

Cloud Strategy & Vendor Selection

Independent guidance on where to invest, which platforms to choose, and how to control cost.

What's included

  • Vendor and platform selection grounded in your actual needs
  • Cost optimization and FinOps practices that stop cloud spend creep
  • Roadmaps that sequence change around business priorities
  • A second opinion you can trust before a major commitment

Fractional Technical Advisory

Senior technical leadership on demand — for teams that need experience without a full-time hire.

What's included

  • Hands-on guidance for engineering teams and founders
  • Technical due diligence and architecture assessments
  • Mentoring that raises the bar across your team
  • Honest, vendor-neutral advice focused on outcomes
AI & LLM engineering

Bring AI to your business — on your terms

From custom model development to fully private, self-hosted deployments, we build LLM systems that keep your data under your control. We work across the open-source AI ecosystem and the major hosted providers — choosing the right tool for each job, never locking you in.

  • Private & on-prem model hosting — your data never leaves
  • Custom model development, fine-tuning, and RAG pipelines
  • MCP servers connecting LLMs to your tools securely
  • Provider-agnostic routing for the best cost-to-quality balance

Tools & frameworks we build with

Haystack

Production RAG and agentic LLM pipelines

Ollama

Simple local and on-prem model serving

llama.cpp

High-performance inference on your own hardware

LiteLLM

One unified gateway across every LLM provider

RouteLLM

Smart routing to balance cost and quality

OpenAI API

Frontier hosted models when you want them

MCP

Secure tool and data access for LLMs

Private hosting

Your models, your infrastructure, your data

Not sure which of these you need?

That's a great place to start. A short conversation usually makes the right path clear.
