Nautilus Software Inc. designs, builds, and deploys artificial intelligence and machine learning systems for government agencies. We focus on practical systems that work inside real compliance limits: document search and question answering, agent workflows that handle repetitive multi-step casework, and models deployed on the agency’s own infrastructure.

Core Competencies
- Generative AI and RAG: secure search, summarization, and question answering over agency documents and records
- Agentic AI workflows: multi-step agents (LangGraph, LangChain) with tool use, human approval steps, and audit logging
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): connecting language models to agency systems and data in a controlled way
- Computer vision and NLP: image detection and classification, text classification, information extraction
- Machine learning: classification, forecasting, and ensemble methods, with documented evaluation
- Edge and embedded AI: predictive maintenance and on-device models for sensors, equipment, and regulated devices
- Deployment and MLOps: FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure; open-weight models that run in a private environment
- Responsible AI and LLM security: evaluation, guardrails, and prompt-injection testing
Differentiators
- Built for regulated work. Prior systems were delivered under PCI, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and healthcare billing rules.
- Audit-ready by design. Logging, access control, and traceable outputs are part of the first build.
- Private deployment. Systems can run on agency infrastructure without sending data to outside services.
- Senior, hands-on delivery. The person who scopes the work also builds it.
Past Performance (Private Sector)
- Global Payments: led the move of a PCI-regulated payment platform to Azure microservices while keeping compliance intact.
- Shift4 Payments: led engineers rebuilding eCommerce payment infrastructure as cloud-native services with PCI controls.
- Anton Paar: built software for clinical measurement instruments under FDA 21 CFR Parts 11 and 820, including audit trails and encryption.
- American Wellness Centers: built a medical facility’s IT infrastructure and Medicare and private-insurance billing integration.
