Ortheus
Company

One system.
One owner.

Senior leadership owns strategy, architecture, and delivery across Commercial, Defense, and Private Capital. We engineer software, hardware, and edge systems together, then transfer the complete system.

Server racks — compute that stays on the owner's floor

Ownership

Code, infrastructure, and documentation transfer. The system is a balance-sheet asset.

02

Data

Customer data stays on your infrastructure. It does not train someone else's model.

Defense

National-security work runs US-based.

The Team

What the bench covers.

01 · Platform Leadership

CTO-level engineering

Hands-on platform architects who have built from zero, scaled teams to 200+ engineers, and shipped multi-tenant SaaS in healthcare and enterprise — including nationwide scheduling and messaging at carrier scale.

KubernetesAWS/GCPHealthcare SaaSTeam scaling
02 · AI Product & Vision

0→1 to production scale

Leaders who write the architecture and build the organizations that ship it — from Meta Reality Labs and enterprise IoT to venture-backed computer-vision platforms at 20M+ API calls in the first 90 days.

Computer visionAR/VR · IoTMeta · PTCPlatform architecture
03 · Generative AI

Agents, RAG, and orchestration

Production LLM agents, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems across health, finance, telecom, and SaaS — with governed tool-actions, human-in-the-loop review, and observability built for regulated environments.

LangGraph · RAGMulti-agentMLflow · LoRANeo4j · Kafka
04 · AI Strategy & Cloud

Enterprise data and ML platforms

$10M+ in combined client value through AI/ML and infrastructure optimization — including data buses processing billions of events daily and SOC 2–compliant platforms on AWS and GCP.

AWS · GCPTerraform/CDKAirflow · SparkAtlassian-scale
05 · Governance & Risk

Audit-ready AI controls

AI governance and technology risk in highly regulated environments — SOC 2 and board-ready reporting from Goldman Sachs-grade financial services programs.

06 · Data & Analytics

Platforms from scratch

End-to-end data platforms — PostgreSQL/AWS backends, ETL from seven external sources, predictive scoring, and React delivery — built for enterprise operators with 40+ daily stakeholders across seven business units.

Python · SQLPrefect · DjangoPredictive modelsPwC · GTI
07 · Product Engineering

Full-stack TypeScript delivery

Schema-first TypeScript monorepos on serverless AWS — mobile payments, manufacturing ops, commerce integrations, and AI command centers with dozens of tool calls over live business data.

TypeScript · AWS CDKReact NativeStripe · ShopifyAI-native
08 · Hardware Engineering

Custom boards, firmware, and enclosures

PCB design, embedded firmware, and mechanical enclosures engineered alongside the software team — prototyped in-house, hardened for production, and deployed as one integrated system.

PCB · CADFirmware · RTOS3D printingDFM
09 · Edge & Embedded Systems

Ruggedized compute for the field

Sensor integration, on-device inference, and deployable compute packages for environments where cloud connectivity is unreliable, unavailable, or disallowed.

Embedded LinuxTensorRT · ONNXSensor fusionRF · LIDAR
10 · Design

Product design and UX

UX/UI designers who translate complex operational and AI-native workflows into interfaces operators actually use — from discovery through production handoff.
