Proof in high-consequence environments
Real engagements across Naval RDT&E, the defense industrial base, and defense technology companies — from expeditionary edge AI to CMMC capture strategy.
Connecting emerging tech to mission at Carderock
As a named subcontractor on CACI's NavalX/ONR Rapid Capabilities IDIQ, we assessed innovation and technology-adoption pathways and shaped applied-AI and data recommendations aligned to the vehicle's systems-engineering and R&D scope — without turning engineers into tool admins.
Expeditionary edge computing & RAG in contested environments
Advising on applied AI and edge computing for austere Pacific-theater operations, we designed and tested a Retrieval-Augmented Generation proof of concept and edge-deployment architecture for low-bandwidth expeditionary engineering workflows.
Innovation ecosystem audit & playbook
We ran an Innovation Ecosystem Audit across process, stakeholders, and tooling — mapping the end-to-end pipeline from scouting to funded programs, and identifying exactly where innovation was stalling.
App modernization & identity integration for USAF training
Direct commercial advisory to modernize the application stack and integrate identity/auth patterns suited to military training and security requirements — without breaking instructor and trainee workflows.
Fractional CTO & go-to-market for a defense tech company
Acting as fractional CTO and GTM advisor, we shaped architecture and roadmap decisions, sharpened defense-market positioning, and helped design a DEVCOM tech-scouting program aligned to modernization priorities.
CMMC enclave solution & capture strategy
Direct advisory on secure-enclave architecture and capture strategy for the Army's NCODE program — a five-year, $49M vehicle for CMMC-aligned environments — connecting Exostar's trusted-collaboration and FedRAMP/CMMC strengths to the mission.
