Infrastructure, software, and data platforms that pass the audit
Healthcare and defense teams lose enterprise deals in security review, and quarters to audit prep. I build the cloud infrastructure, pipelines, and data platforms that stop both, plus the production software that runs on them. Founder-led, senior engineers only.
What we build
Cloud Infrastructure
Build multi-account landing zones in Terraform so environments rebuild identically and an assessor can diff exactly what changed.
CI/CD Pipelines
Automate signed artifacts, SBOMs, and control evidence into every run so audit prep becomes a query, not a project.
Kubernetes Platforms
Harden production clusters with tenant isolation and network policy so the platform clears security review without a redesign.
AI Infrastructure & MLOps
Place models, vector stores, and inference inside the compliance boundary so AI ships without widening assessment scope.
Data Engineering
Move regulated data with lineage and access control so analytics grow without pulling the warehouse into scope.
Software Engineering
Ship production Python written by the engineer who designed the infrastructure so nothing is lost in the handoff.
What clients say
“Lucas delivered immediate results on our infrastructure. His expertise in AWS, GCP, Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD is solid… Everything was well-documented and delivered on schedule.”
“He completed the security audit for our AWS environment and provided assistance correcting deficiencies. Would definitely recommend for future cloud work if you need a quick turnaround from a cloud expert.”
“Lucas is absolutely outstanding! Prompt, competent, likable, and professional, I recommend him wholeheartedly!”
“We've now hired Lucas three times, FedRAMP architecture, a Kubernetes migration, and a HIPAA CI/CD overhaul, and he's delivered on every one… He shows up prepared, communicates clearly, documents his work, and leaves things better than he found them.”
Lucas Jones, the engineer who builds it
The same engineer who architects the infrastructure writes the Terraform, builds the pipelines, and stays accountable through handoff. Six years building cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in regulated environments, with HIPAA, FedRAMP, and SOC 2 engagement work for healthcare and defense teams across AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI. Senior engineers only, all US citizens. No offshore delivery.
The same patterns documented in Field Notes are what get applied during real client engagements.
Lead specializations, broader practice
We focus where compliance, scale, and engineering velocity collide. Healthcare and defense are our deepest specializations, and the same engineering rigor extends to every regulated industry where the cost of getting infrastructure wrong is measured in lawsuits, lost contracts, or breached customer trust.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Hospital systems, pharmacy benefit managers, clinical SaaS, biotech, and digital health platforms. We build the cloud infrastructure that lets your engineers ship while keeping HIPAA, HITRUST, and FDA technical safeguards continuously verifiable.
HITRUST CSF certification preparation
PHI-aware data pipelines & vector stores
EHR integration platforms (FHIR, HL7)
Defense & Federal
Defense contractors, federal systems integrators, and govtech SaaS selling into DoD, IC, and civilian agencies. We build cloud infrastructure that maps cleanly to FedRAMP, DoD Impact Levels, and CMMC requirements without making your engineers miserable.
FedRAMP 20x KSI readiness (Phase 3 Q3 2026)
DoD IL4 / IL5 enclave architecture
CMMC 2.0 readiness for the supply base
