Drawn from active and prior program experience across federal civilian, defense, healthcare, telecom, and commercial environments. These are the shapes of problem Fortis is built for.
Discuss your programA large regulated organization needed to move several hundred databases across five engines onto governed cloud platforms, inside an accreditation boundary, with near-zero downtime tolerance and fixed delivery windows that could not slip. The estate had grown without a provisioning standard, so no two environments were configured the same way.
Fortis leadership owned the database engineering workstream: assessment of the existing estate, a target architecture per platform, infrastructure as code standards so every environment provisioned to the same compliant baseline, right-sizing analysis, and phased migration with validation gates at every stage.
A defense program needed replication that keeps data consistent on edge systems operating under intermittent and unreliable connectivity. Managed cloud databases cannot run in a disconnected environment at all, and the legacy occasionally-connected sync layer had reached the limit of what it could be maintained through.
Fortis leadership designed a hybrid architecture running self-managed databases at the disconnected edge, syncing with managed databases at the core, then drove the transition from occasionally-connected replication to event-driven replication: a durable queue-and-replay design that holds integrity across an outage of any duration.
A healthcare and eCommerce organization was experiencing recurring unplanned downtime, performance bottlenecks on customer-facing systems, and audit readiness gaps across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and cloud-hosted environments supporting more than a thousand business users.
Implemented a proactive monitoring architecture, performed deep analysis on the critical query workloads, redesigned indexing on high-traffic tables, and automated the recurring operational tasks that were consuming engineer hours every week.
The organization needed reliable pipeline architecture processing several terabytes daily across Oracle ERP, SQL Server, MySQL, and Redshift, supporting analytics for over a thousand business users under strict latency and data quality requirements.
Designed and implemented end-to-end pipeline architecture, integrated data across the ERP and operational systems, and supported the warehouse and reporting layer with alerting, monitoring, and automated error recovery.
A telecom provider needed high availability and disaster recovery architecture across SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL environments supporting both commercial and government workloads, while cutting the manual effort consumed by daily database operations.
Implemented availability groups, clustering, and log shipping. Ran performance analysis to isolate CPU, disk, and memory bottlenecks. Built an automation library covering monitoring, maintenance, alerting, and routine operations, and integrated managed cloud databases for the hybrid layer.
A healthcare organization required documented, reliable database administration for clinical and operational systems, with a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, performance optimization, and pipelines supporting clinical reporting workflows.
Took full lifecycle ownership across production, test, and development. Designed a recovery strategy with full, differential, and log backup chains and regularly tested restore procedures. Built the clinical reporting pipelines and tuned the workloads behind them.
Design and build a production-grade generative AI data assistant end to end, combining model integration, voice control, document intelligence, analytics, and automated delivery into one coherent architecture, using the same patterns as active federal cloud and data programs.
Built three interfaces over a shared backend, integrated OCR for document pipelines and image analysis with confidence scoring, stood up a knowledge base for retrieval, added a cache-aside layer for latency, and wired a full pipeline that deploys to compute automatically on push.
