React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Native iOS/Android/Flutter, REST/gRPC APIs, USWDS 3.0, Section 508 / WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, and rapid legacy codebase triage/modernization.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with line-by-line citation grounding, multi-agent tool-calling orchestration, local/air-gapped LLM fine-tuning via 4-bit QLoRA (proven on Paladin-1), and computer vision pipelines.
Epidemiological and demand forecasting, Monte Carlo scenario modeling with P10/P50/P90 confidence intervals, automated ETL/ELT pipelines, geospatial/sensor fusion, and executive decision dashboards.
KEY FEDERAL DIFFERENTIATORS
Every line of production code, fine-tuned model weight, and architecture artifact is engineered directly by Founder & Principal Investigator Blaise Pascual.
I ship working, auditable software slices and reproducible evaluation harnesses on synthetic unclassified data before contract award—never slideware.
100% self-performance eliminates ostensible subcontractor protest risk and provides direct SDVOSB & SDB credit under 13 CFR § 125.6(c).
Deployable into AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or air-gapped on-prem nodes with zero third-party SaaS lock-in and full government IP rights.
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR & LEAD SYSTEMS ARCHITECT BIO
