THE GAP
Global consultancies bring scale but lack context. Local firms understand the culture but lack architectural rigor. The result is high-friction technology implementations that fail to compound in value over time.
THE BRIDGE
We operate at the intersection of Silicon Valley rigor and local institutional context. We do not sell hours. We engineer sovereign data systems and automated workflows designed for durability, auditability, and long-term leverage.
PUBLIC SECTOR
State and county agencies requiring audit-ready data consolidation, permitting acceleration, and legacy modernization.
HEALTHCARE
Hospitals and human services providers navigating patient queues, staffing ratios, and PHI sovereignty.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Utilities, insurers, and financial institutions managing risk modeling, asset data, and regulatory compliance.
Working sessions start with a 30-minute discovery call. If there's fit, we scope a fixed-fee engagement with clear deliverables and a rollback plan.
Design a compliant, locally governed data layer. Unify siloed regulatory and asset data into a vector-based retrieval system that enables instant historical search without exposing sensitive records to public models.
You get: Institutional memory that doesn't leave the building.
10–12 weeks
Deploy human-in-the-loop agents for application pre-check and triage. Validate permit drawings or patient intake forms before they enter the queue, reducing rejection rates and accelerating review times.
You get: Validated inputs that flow through your system 50% faster.
6–10 weeks
Model exposure across condo associations and credit portfolios. Structure unstructured inspection reports and financials to identify risk anomalies and coverage gaps in real-time.
You get: A defensible, sovereign data surface for underwriting and credit decisions.
8–10 weeks
Sovereign Instances
Your data never trains public models. We deploy isolated, private instances that ensure data sovereignty and alignment with strict CJIS, HIPAA, and financial privacy standards.
Deterministic Core
We value auditability over creativity. Our architectures use strict decision trees and retrieval boundaries to minimize hallucinations, ensuring every output can be traced back to a specific source of truth.
Observable Operations
We engineer systems for total visibility and instant rollback. No "black box" deployments. We prioritize human-in-the-loop oversight and iterative integration to protect mission continuity.

Founder & Principal// Why Here
I spent a decade building compliance infrastructure in San Francisco. The kind of systems where a bug means a lawsuit, not a refund. Then I moved to Hawaii and saw the same problems I'd solved for Fortune 500s, but with smaller teams, tighter budgets, and vendors who didn't understand the constraints.
BlackPeak exists to close that gap: bring mainland architectural rigor to island institutions without the mainland baggage.
