Applied AI that works because the data underneath it does.
KMK Data Solutions builds Databricks lakehouse platforms, then the retrieval, agent and evaluation layers on top of them. For government and enterprise teams that have to defend what they ship.
Built bottom-up. The AI layer is only as good as the layers beneath it.
One stack, built from the bottom up.
Most AI projects stall on the data, not the model. We start with the platform and governance, then add AI where the foundation can carry it.
Data platform
Greenfield and migrated lakehouses on Databricks, AWS and Azure. Medallion pipelines, compute design, CI/CD for notebooks and workflows, and cost controls your team can keep running.
Delta Lake
PySpark · Spark SQL
Unity Catalog
Governance and analytics
Access models, lineage and audit-ready documentation, plus the Power BI, Qlik and Foundry dashboards your analysts actually open. Deliverables written to survive government review.
