The Work

Each engagement is shown as the client saw it: the problem, what we built, and what changed.

Content moderation pipeline and recommendation engine

Data & AI Engineering

Challenge

Client building a mobile media platform needed a content moderation pipeline and a custom recommendation engine with signal ingestion from user interactions.

Solution

  • Kinesis-to-S3 signal pipeline with Glue ETL for interaction data
  • Step Functions content moderation (Rekognition, Transcribe)
  • SageMaker recommendation model with OpenSearch vector DB
  • Full infrastructure provisioned via AWS CDK

Outcome

Parallelized moderation pipeline reduced processing from 4–6 minutes to under 30 seconds.

Automated legal bill review

Data & AI EngineeringAutomation & DevOps

Challenge

Legal team manually reviewing 5% of incoming law firm bills for contract compliance, missing overbilling across the remaining 95%.

Solution

  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet via Bedrock for automated contract rule extraction
  • Textract for PDF processing of legal invoices
  • Lambda + Step Functions orchestration for bill compliance verification
  • Flask web UI for human review. All Terraform-provisioned.

Outcome

Now automatically reviews 100% of incoming legal bills in real-time. Infrastructure is serverless; cost of inference is immaterial compared to savings.

Fleet-wide compliance inventory and remediation

Governance & ComplianceAutomation & DevOps

Challenge

Client needed daily inventory of all AWS resources across 100+ accounts for compliance verification with automated remediation.

Solution

  • Python application with plugin architecture as Step Functions state machine
  • Parallel scanning across all accounts and regions
  • Auto-remediation: VPC flow logs, Route 53 query logging, S3 encryption
  • Backup enforcement, tag compliance, and reporting automation

Outcome

Application runs nightly in under 1 hour. So successful that a dedicated internal team was created to manage and extend it.

Two-petabyte business continuity

Cloud Infrastructure & ArchitectureGovernance & Compliance

Challenge

Urgent business continuity requirement to backup and isolate 2 petabytes across 600+ S3 buckets in 100+ accounts and 14 regions.

Solution

  • Automated Python scripts for inventory, versioning, and encryption
  • Cross-account replication to isolated destination buckets with Object Lock
  • Glacier Deep Archive lifecycle policies for cost optimization
  • Batch replication orchestration across all accounts and regions

Outcome

All data successfully replicated over 50 hours at a client-approved cost of over $100,000.

Migration Acceleration Program assessment

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture

Challenge

AWS-requested Migration Acceleration Program assessment for a PoS platform running EKS, Aurora, SQS, and on-prem Kubernetes.

Solution

  • 6-phase migration plan: Control Tower governance first
  • WebSocket bottleneck elimination and API Gateway security
  • DynamoDB global tables migration from Aurora
  • Multi-region HA with CloudFront and Route 53 latency routing

Outcome

Expected monthly cost after full migration was less than the customer's current AWS bill while spanning 2 regions.

Real-time market prediction pipeline

Data & AI Engineering

Challenge

Quantitative analysts needed real-time financial data ingestion, model training, and inference for market predictions.

Solution

  • Kinesis streaming from Bloomberg API with WebSocket ingestion
  • Online/offline feature stores for model training data
  • SageMaker training on A100 GPUs with real-time inference via socket.io
  • Sentiment analysis from news feeds and press releases

Outcome

Continual online training time reduced to approximately 60 seconds with live prediction streams.
