AWS Select Tier Partner

Cloud, data, and software engineering for teams that ship in production.

We design AWS-native platforms, migrate stuck workloads off legacy stacks, and ship the dashboards and applications that move the business. Healthcare, manufacturing, retail. Built by certified engineers, owned end to end.

What we do

Six practices, one delivery team.

We operate as a single embedded engineering bench. Whether you need a single architect, a build-and-run squad, or a multi-year platform program, we staff it with the same certified engineers who already shipped it for someone else.

Flagship

Cloud Migration & AWS Adoption

Lift-and-shift is the easy part. We architect the network, identity, observability, and cost model that makes the migration stick. Landing zones, IaC, blue/green cutover plans, and the runbooks your team will actually use at 2 a.m.

AWS Landing Zone Terraform · CDK Network · IAM Cost optimization FinOps reporting

Data Analytics, BI & EDI

Ingest, clean, model, surface. We build the bronze/silver/gold lakehouse, the warehouse, the EDI pipelines into trading partners, and the Quicksight or Power BI dashboards your operators check on Monday. Real-time when the business actually needs it.

Custom Application Development

Legacy reengineering and greenfield builds. TypeScript, .NET, Python, Go, mobile. Built like product.

Managed Services

24×7 monitoring, change management, patching, and a tier-2 help desk that talks to your users like adults.

IT Strategy & Roadmapping

System assessment, total-cost models, three-year plan, board-ready. Then we build it, not just present it.

Embedded Expertise & On-Demand Leadership

Fractional CTO, principal engineer, staff architect. Drop one of ours into your team for a quarter — keep the hire, or hand it back when the gap closes. No bench tax.

Security & Compliance Engineering

HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI. Threat modeling, IAM hardening, KMS-everywhere, audit logging that satisfies an actual auditor. Continuous controls, not annual theater.

Industries

Deep benches in the verticals we know cold.

We don't take work outside lanes we can deliver in. Inside these three, we have the people, the patterns, and the war stories.

Healthcare workload

Healthcare

HIPAA-scope workloads, HL7/FHIR pipelines, claims and EHR integrations, member portals. Buffalo's medical corridor is our backyard.

  • Provider portals & patient apps
  • Claims, ERAs, 835/837 EDI
  • FHIR APIs & HL7v2 bridges
  • HIPAA-compliant AWS landing zones
Manufacturing workload

Manufacturing

MES integrations, OT/IT bridges, production telemetry, supplier EDI. Buffalo is built on this work and so are we.

  • MES & ERP integration
  • Shop-floor telemetry to cloud
  • EDI 850/810/856 with trading partners
  • Predictive-maintenance dashboards
Retail workload

Retail & Commerce

Unified POS, inventory, and ecom data. Marketing attribution that holds up. Loyalty programs that actually compound.

  • POS + ecom data unification
  • Customer 360 & loyalty
  • Demand forecasting
  • Headless commerce stacks
The reference platform

An AWS-native blueprint we ship in weeks, not quarters.

Every engagement starts from a versioned reference architecture we've already hardened in production. You inherit the platform on day one; we customize from there.

From raw event to executive dashboard, fully governed.

We don't hand you a tarball of YAML. The platform comes with provisioning, identity, observability, cost guardrails, and CI/CD wired together. Your team gets the keys.

How we work

A delivery model built for operators, not pitch decks.

You get senior engineers from day one, weekly demos against real production data, and a fixed-price discovery before any open-ended commitment.

Discovery

Two weeks, fixed price. We walk the systems, interview the operators, and ship a written architecture brief and execution plan.

Pilot

One small, high-leverage workload to prove the pattern. End-to-end. Real data, real users, real metrics.

Scale

Roll the proven pattern across the estate with a versioned reference platform. Weekly demos, IaC reviews, FinOps as you go.

Operate

Hand over to your team with the runbooks, the dashboards, and an on-call shadow. We stay as deeply as you want, or step out clean.

Leadership

Senior operators leading every engagement.

You buy the people. The team that scoped your work is the team in the standups, the same hands writing the IaC and the runbooks.

Brian Lehman

Brian Lehman

President

Sets the strategy and stays close to the work. Three decades across consulting, services, and inside-the-room conversations with operators in healthcare and manufacturing.

Jeff Schneider

Jeff Schneider

Chief Executive Officer

Runs the firm and the P&L. Came up through enterprise delivery and brings the discipline that lets a senior bench scale without losing the standard of work.

Garret Hussak

Garret Hussak

Chief Information Officer

Owns the operating platform and the FinOps story. Architecture decisions land on his desk, and the cost guardrails our clients inherit on day one are his blueprint.

Steve O'Keefe

Steve O'Keefe

Chief Technology Officer

Owns the reference architecture and the engineering standard. Spends his weeks across discovery calls, IaC reviews, and the hard architectural decisions clients want in the room.

Emily Mahaffy

Emily Mahaffy

VP, Business Development

First call on every new engagement. Translates the operator's mess into the right-sized scope, then hands the team to delivery without losing context in the seam.

Patrick Garland

Patrick Garland

Senior Advisor

The voice in the room when the call is close. Three decades of seeing services firms grow, stall, and recover, and the pattern recognition that keeps us out of the wrong rooms.
