Building Systems That Scale

Founded by Jay Stuart, AGILE Services Group is a technology consultancy with over 26 years of experience delivering cloud transformations, enterprise modernization, and secure infrastructure for federal agencies and private sector organizations. We help teams ship faster, scale smarter, and adopt modern platforms with confidence.

Senior engineers. Hands-on architects. Builders of production systems.

AGILE Services Group was founded on a simple premise: the best consulting happens when senior engineers do the work, not manage it from a distance. Our team has spent decades at the intersection of infrastructure and software engineering — delivering cloud transformations and enterprise modernization for federal agencies including NOAA, HHS, CMS, FDA, VA, and IRS, as well as Fortune 500 companies like AT&T.

We bring a principal-engineer mentality to every engagement: deep technical expertise, no abstraction layers, and a bias toward shipping. We assemble the right team for each project — experienced specialists who've built and operated the exact systems you need. Our work has contributed to over $50M in awarded federal contracts.

Our experience spans cloud governance, distributed systems, security and compliance (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, HIPAA), healthcare technology, and AI-assisted engineering — where getting it right isn't just a goal, it's a requirement.

100%

Senior-Level Work

No junior hand-offs. No account managers. Direct access to the engineers building your system.

Services

Hands-on consulting for organizations that need senior engineering talent, not slide decks.

Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture

Design and implement production-grade infrastructure on AWS, hybrid cloud, and on-prem environments. From network topology to storage strategy, we architect systems that perform under real-world conditions.

AWS Kubernetes EKS / ECS CloudFormation Terraform

DevOps & Platform Engineering

Build developer platforms and CI/CD pipelines that accelerate delivery. Container orchestration, GitOps workflows, infrastructure as code, and self-service tooling that lets teams move fast safely.

ArgoCD Tekton GitOps Docker Helm

Security & Compliance

Implement zero-trust architecture, SSO/OIDC integration, IAM governance, and compliance frameworks. Deep experience achieving ATO for federal systems under FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and FISMA.

FedRAMP NIST 800-53 IAM / SSO Active Directory HIPAA

AI Engineering & Automation

Design and deploy production AI systems — from multi-agent governance frameworks and RAG pipelines to AI-assisted development workflows that compress delivery timelines from months to weeks. We pioneered AI-driven self-healing test automation and multi-agent engineering pipelines with role-based governance, pre-flight validation, and automatic rollback.

LLMs / RAG AI Agents LangGraph Python Self-Healing QA

Healthcare Technology

Build compliant, secure platforms in healthcare and benefits administration. Experience with HL7 FHIR, benefits processing systems, and the regulatory requirements that come with handling sensitive health data.

FHIR / HL7 HIPAA PostgreSQL MuleSoft APIs

Technical Advisory

Architecture reviews, technology selection, and strategic guidance for engineering teams. We help you make the right infrastructure decisions before you've invested months in the wrong direction.

Current Engagements

A look at the kind of work we take on and the problems we solve.

Healthcare Technology

Benefits Administration Platform

Designing and building the cloud infrastructure for a healthcare benefits platform that processes sensitive member data. Our team handles API architecture, FHIR integration, database design, and ensuring the entire stack meets healthcare compliance requirements.

  • Cloud-native API platform on AWS
  • HL7 FHIR interoperability layer
  • PostgreSQL and SQL Server data architecture
  • Kubernetes-based development and staging environments
  • Security-first design for PHI handling
Infrastructure & AI

Production Home Lab & AI Platform

A high-availability Kubernetes cluster running 30+ production services — including SSO, GitOps, media infrastructure, document management, and AI workloads. This is both a production environment and a proving ground for the technologies we deploy for clients.

  • Multi-node Kubernetes on Proxmox with Ceph distributed storage
  • 10GbE + 40Gbps Thunderbolt backend network
  • ArgoCD GitOps, Tekton CI/CD, Traefik ingress
  • Authentik SSO across all services
  • AI inference cluster with Apple Silicon and NVIDIA Jetson

Projects I've Built

Tools and systems we've built and released publicly.

Project Athena

Python

An AI-powered voice assistant built on local LLMs with RAG capabilities. Runs on Apple Silicon and NVIDIA Jetson edge hardware with Home Assistant integration, real-time speech processing, and multi-room audio coordination.

SourceBridge

Go

A codebase field guide and context layer for unfamiliar systems. SourceBridge analyzes repositories to help engineers understand complex codebases fast — architecture, conventions, and critical paths surfaced automatically.
