Over the years, it evolved into a go‑to partner for data interoperability, exchange, governance and security solutions.
The firm builds custom platforms–often open‑source–that power BI, predictive analytics, NLP, and downstream data transactions.
Typical projects include data catalogs for federal agencies, cybersecurity tools for semiconductor systems, and health data interoperability for state programs.
Its specialisms span robust data architecture, secure data platforms, AI/ML/NLP-driven analytics, cloud-agnostic operations, and microelectronics security.
Notably, it has developed a microelectronics security suite that traces hardware vulnerabilities from simulation through silicon.
Clients range from federal/state health agencies to commercial enterprises, reflecting a mix of public-sector impact and private-sector innovation.
