01 / Capabilities
Technical depth across the system.
Upstream delivers focused technical work across the software, data, infrastructure, and physical interfaces a mission system depends on — directly for government customers or as part of a prime contractor’s team.
AI/ML Evaluation
Evaluation pipelines, output QA, monitoring, analytics, automation, and human-in-the-loop review around deployed models.
Models / QA / ReviewData and Cloud Platforms
Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, and AWS systems spanning ETL, events, webhooks, observability, and deployment tooling.
Data / Cloud / AutomationComputer Vision and Video
Live RTSP ingest, detection, tracking, counting, event logic, and alerting for camera and sensor feeds.
Video / Sensors / EventsEdge, GPU, and Hardware
GPU inference, cameras and sensors, networking, edge compute, field testing, and device-to-cloud integration.
Devices / Edge / Field02 / Team experience
Experience that crosses system boundaries.
Hands-on experience our team members bring from prior roles and programs.

Give Us a Technical Problem to Own
Upstream can prime a defined requirement and own delivery end to end, or take responsibility for a focused technical scope inside a larger delivery team.

04 / How we deliver
A focused team accountable for the outcome.
When Upstream serves as prime, we own delivery from scope through deployment and support. When teaming, we take clear responsibility for the selected component, its interfaces, and a maintainable transition.
- 01
Start with a bounded outcome, named interfaces, and acceptance criteria
- 02
Expose the highest-risk assumption through an early prototype or integration
- 03
Use short, visible checkpoints so the customer or program team can steer delivery
- 04
Design monitoring and debugging paths alongside the delivered system
- 05
Leave maintainable code, architecture notes, deployment steps, and runbooks
- 06
Transition ownership cleanly or remain through fielding and ongoing support
