HOMELAND SECURITY & NATIONAL DEFENSE
Senior geospatial engineering for homeland security and national defense.
We build and sustain the ArcGIS systems federal missions run on — proven first with the U.S. Coast Guard. Veteran-owned, SDVOSB in SBA VetCert review.

CAPABILITIES
Senior geospatial engineering, narrow by design.
We do six things across the federal geospatial domain — proven first with the U.S. Coast Guard. Whoever shows up to the kickoff is the person writing the code — there’s no second layer.
ArcGIS Enterprise & Portal
We architect, install, and run ArcGIS Enterprise stacks for federal customers — including the unglamorous Tuesday-night patching and upgrade work that keeps the system credible.
Sensor Integration
Real-time feeds — AIS, environmental data, ENC and S-57/S-101 charts — flowing into Portal and Server with the data-quality alerting that catches drift before someone notices on a dashboard.
Geospatial Data Engineering
Geodatabase design, ETL pipelines, versioning, replication, and the performance tuning that turns a slow query into a 200ms one. The work primes hire because their bench can’t do it.
Application Development
Experience Builder configurations, custom Esri JS API apps, Survey123 forms wired into the actual workflow, and the Python tooling that survives the next administrator change.
Geospatial AI & Machine Learning
Machine learning on imagery and sensor feeds — vessel and object detection, change detection, and automated feature extraction that turn raw collection into operational layers.
Training & Enablement
Transition-in training that doesn’t assume the incoming team starts from zero, plus the Tier 2/3 support and runbook authoring that holds together after the trainer leaves.
HOW WE ENGAGE
Three commitments on every engagement.
From a sources-sought response through years of operational sustainment.
01
Scope honestly
We size proposals to the actual work, not to the ceiling. If we can’t deliver to standard, we say so up front.
02
Deliver against the PWS
The person you meet in the kickoff is the person doing the work. We don’t pad the team with managers to bill against.
03
Sustain what we ship
We write runbooks the next analyst can actually use and stick around for Tier 2/3 questions. The system still works on year five.
Built by a retired veteran and a senior ArcGIS engineer. Homeland security and national defense geospatial, sharpened on Coast Guard missions.
