Federal AI delivery
Working systems, not slideware.
Through Summit2Sea, Bryan's teams won and delivered non-traditional federal work with the IRS, Defense Innovation Unit, and DARPA.
“They exhibited expert knowledge in AI and machine learning... Because the project was successful, the DoD Comptroller’s Office plans to move forward with a production contract.”
“Their expertise in Robotic Process Automations (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has provided the agency with tremendous insight. The agency would highly recommend this contractor to other federal agencies.”
