AI strategy and custom solutions for space and defense sectors
Pelagic AI is a small, engineering-focused consultancy (11–50 employees, founded 2023) working on AI integration for government agencies and commercial operators in space and biotech. The tech stack — Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, GeoServer, Jenkins — and active projects reveal a heavy emphasis on geospatial data pipelines and hybrid infrastructure modernization, with ongoing Java 8→17 migrations and DevOps pipeline consolidation. Leadership gaps in non-engineering roles suggest a technical-services model where founders or senior engineers drive client engagements.
Pelagic AI provides AI strategy and custom development to federal agencies and commercial companies operating in space technology and biotechnology. The company is an SBA-certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Work centers on integrating machine-learning capabilities into operational environments, designing hybrid cloud architectures, and modernizing legacy codebases. The five active engineering roles—predominantly senior and mid-level—signal client-delivery focus rather than product-platform scaling.
