What we do
Five practices. One accountable partner.
Technology strategy, aerial intelligence, data infrastructure, professional metal locating, and IT retainers for local small businesses. Each service is built for precision.
Technology Consulting
Strategy that translates into systems.
We work with organizations to architect, evaluate, and implement technology strategies that align with operational goals. From systems integration to digital transformation roadmaps, our consulting practice is built on technical depth — not slide decks.
Capabilities
- Digital Transformation Strategy End-to-end roadmaps for modernizing legacy infrastructure and workflows.
- Systems Integration Connecting disparate platforms, APIs, and data sources into cohesive operational systems.
- Technology Assessment & Audit Independent evaluation of existing technology stacks with actionable remediation plans.
- Cloud Architecture Design and implementation of scalable cloud environments on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Project & Program Management Technical program leadership for complex, multi-stakeholder technology initiatives.
Deliverables
- Technology strategy documents and roadmaps
- Architecture diagrams and system design specifications
- Integration blueprints and API documentation
- Risk assessments and remediation plans
Drone Services
Aerial intelligence, precisely delivered.
Commercial drone operations for infrastructure inspection, aerial survey, photogrammetry, and visual intelligence. Every flight is FAA-compliant, mission-planned, and data-ready. We don’t just capture footage — we deliver structured, actionable aerial data.
Capabilities
- Infrastructure Inspection Detailed aerial inspection of pipelines, power lines, bridges, and industrial facilities.
- Aerial Survey & Mapping High-resolution orthomosaic mapping, topographic surveys, and volumetric analysis.
- Construction Progress Monitoring Scheduled aerial documentation and progress tracking for active construction sites.
- Photogrammetry & 3D Modeling Point cloud generation and 3D model creation from multi-pass aerial capture.
- Environmental & Land Survey Multi-spectral imaging and NDVI analysis for environmental compliance and land management.
Deliverables
- Georeferenced orthomosaic maps and DEMs
- Inspection reports with annotated imagery
- 3D point clouds and mesh models
- FAA documentation and flight logs
Data Engineering
Infrastructure that turns data into decisions.
We design and build the pipelines, platforms, and models that transform raw data into operational advantage. From ingestion to insight, our data engineering practice handles the full stack — so your team can focus on what the data means, not how to move it.
Capabilities
- Data Pipeline Architecture Design and implementation of robust ETL/ELT pipelines for batch and streaming data.
- Data Warehouse & Lakehouse Modern data warehouse design on Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and open formats.
- Real-Time Data Processing Stream processing architectures using Kafka, Flink, and cloud-native event systems.
- Analytics Engineering dbt-based transformation layers, semantic models, and BI-ready data products.
- Geospatial Data Integration Processing and integrating aerial and sensor data into enterprise GIS platforms.
Deliverables
- Documented data architecture and lineage diagrams
- Production-grade pipeline code and infrastructure-as-code
- Data quality frameworks and monitoring dashboards
- Semantic layer models and BI integration guides
Local IT Consulting
A monthly technical partner for small business owners.
IT consulting for owners in Bristol, Abingdon, and the broader SW Virginia / Tri-Cities area who want a trusted partner on a monthly retainer — not a one-off ticket or a slide-deck program. We cover systems, security and backups, vendor management, and day-to-day operations, plus cloud and data work when it actually fits a small business. Enterprise platforms (Azure, Fabric, Databricks, SQL) stay in the background until they earn a place in your shop.
Capabilities
- Systems & operations Practical help with servers, workstations, email, and the line-of-business apps a small office actually runs.
- Security, backups & recovery Patching hygiene, backup checks, and restore-minded disaster recovery — including HIPAA-aware healthcare and community-services environments.
- Vendor management A single technical contact to coordinate ISPs, software vendors, and hardware support instead of leaving owners to chase tickets.
- Cloud & data, right-sized Cloud applications and data work drawn from 15+ years in SQL, Azure, and operations — scoped for a small business, not a 130-store lakehouse as the lead.
- HIPAA-aware workflows Background in healthcare offices and community-services applications: custom data capture, reporting, and infrastructure across multiple facilities.
Deliverables
- Named technical contact and a clear monthly cadence
- Written notes on systems, vendors, and backup status
- Recommendations sized to the staff and budget you have
- Separate statements of work when a job is truly project-shaped
Typical retainer
A monthly relationship. Scope is agreed with you — we do not list prices here.
- A named contact and regular check-ins — not a help desk you never reach
- Systems hygiene: updates, backups, and restore tests
- Security basics appropriate to a small office
- Vendor coordination (internet, software, hardware support)
- Practical operations: email, file access, and the apps you already use
- Advice on cloud or data work only when it fits how you operate
Project work
Scoped separately when the job is one-time or larger than a retainer can hold.
- Scoped migrations, new systems, or one-time builds
- Larger cloud or data platform work when a small business truly needs it
- Custom applications or reporting (including PHP/MySQL field systems)
- HIPAA workflow, backup, or DR projects for healthcare offices
Metal Detection
Professional locating for sites that need more than a hobby sweep.
Metal detection and locating for landowners, municipalities, construction, and recovery work. We treat it as field operations — marked targets, documented coverage, and a clear handoff — and pair it with aerial survey when a drone pass helps bound the site. We do not list hobby-club credentials we have not earned.
Capabilities
- Site locating Sweep and mark metallic targets on land slated for construction, recovery, or property work.
- Construction support Locate ahead of digging when a contractor needs a ground pass complementary to drawings and flags.
- Municipal and landowner work Cover parcels and easements with a documented pattern rather than an informal weekend hunt.
- Paired with aerial recon Use drone mapping when it helps size the search area; locating stays a ground service, not a substitute for survey.
- Field documentation Notes and marks the crew can act on — not a treasure-hunting narrative.
Deliverables
- Marked locate notes for the crew on site
- Coverage notes for the area walked
- Optional aerial overview when a drone pass is in scope
- A written summary of what was found and what was out of bounds
