MLOps Platform

Technology

Getting a stalled ML team from notebooks to weekly releases

Challenge
A data science team had working models stuck in notebooks - every release meant a manual handoff to engineering, and nobody could say with confidence what was actually running in production.
Strategy
Stand up a model registry and reproducible training pipeline first, then add automated evaluation gates so a release could ship without a manual sign-off meeting.
Execution
Built the registry, CI/CD evaluation gates, and drift monitoring around the team's existing models - no rewrite, no pause in shipping while the platform went in.
Outcome
Release cadence went from quarterly to weekly inside the first two months, with drift caught automatically instead of discovered by a confused user.

Six hours after go-live, the platform caught a drift the old process would have taken three weeks to notice.

GIS Operating Picture

Government / Emergency Response

One shared map for a regional emergency-response network

Challenge
Dispatch, planning, and field teams across a regional response network were each working from a different map, with no shared source of truth during an active incident.
Strategy
Fuse every existing feed - sensor, imagery, field reports - into one operating picture, with offline-first tooling for field teams who couldn't count on connectivity.
Execution
Rolled out the fused picture to dispatch first, then field teams, with conflict-safe sync so offline edits reconciled cleanly once connectivity returned.
Outcome
Every team now works from the same live picture during an incident, with field updates reflected centrally in seconds rather than radioed in and manually re-plotted.

Fractional CTO Engagement

Mid-market SaaS

Rebuilding a mid-market platform roadmap in one quarter

Challenge
A mid-market platform's technical roadmap had stalled under conflicting vendor commitments and no single owner accountable for architecture decisions.
Strategy
Embed a named fractional CTO with real decision authority - not an advisory retainer - to reset priorities and vendor relationships directly.
Execution
Audited the existing architecture and vendor contracts, cut two redundant tools, and re-sequenced the roadmap around the three initiatives actually blocking revenue.
Outcome
A working delivery cadence and a clean roadmap handed off to a permanent CTO hire at the end of the quarter, with no reset needed on day one.

VR Training Simulation

Industrial / Field Operations

Replacing a two-week field shadowing program with a VR simulation

Challenge
New field technicians needed two weeks of shadowing a senior technician before they were trusted on a live piece of equipment - an expensive bottleneck during a hiring push.
Strategy
Build a VR training simulation of the actual equipment and failure scenarios, with performance analytics tied to the specific competencies the shadowing program was meant to build.
Execution
Modeled the equipment from existing CAD data, built the failure-scenario library with input from senior technicians, and piloted it against a control group still on the shadowing program.
Outcome
Time-to-independent-certification dropped, and senior technicians got their shadowing time back for higher-value work.
