Senior engineering. Real solutions.
We architect, build, and operate software systems that enterprises and government agencies rely on — from cloud infrastructure to payment flows, legacy modernization to end-to-end platforms.
What we do
We solve real business problems with technology — clearly explained, professionally delivered.
Build, Modernize & Scale Your Software
Whether you need a brand new platform or want to fix what you already have — we design and build software that grows with your business. We handle everything from the database to the user interface, including cloud hosting, automated deployments, and keeping it all running reliably. If your current system is slow, outdated, or holding you back, we can modernize it without starting over from scratch.
AI-Powered Tools for Your Business
Put AI to work where it actually matters. We build AI assistants that answer your business phone calls, qualify leads, and book appointments — so you never miss a customer. We also build custom AI tools that handle repetitive tasks, answer customer questions, summarize documents, and help your team get more done in less time. No off-the-shelf software — built specifically for how your business works.
Connected Devices & IoT Platforms
If your business involves physical equipment, sensors, or devices that need to talk to each other or report data — we build the software platform behind it. From agricultural sensors and facility monitoring to industrial equipment tracking and smart building controls, we connect your hardware to dashboards, alerts, and automated workflows that give you real visibility and control.
Websites, Integrations & Ongoing Support
A professional website that loads fast, looks great, and actually brings in business. We also connect your existing tools together — CRMs, payment processors, scheduling software, third-party APIs — so your systems share data instead of creating extra work. And when things need maintenance, updates, or troubleshooting, we're available as a long-term partner, not just a one-time vendor.
Project Management & Permitting
We bring hands-on project management experience from complex, regulated industries — including renewable energy development, land leases, and permit acquisition. Whether you need someone to drive a technical project from kickoff to delivery, coordinate with stakeholders and agencies, or navigate the paperwork and approvals that slow projects down, we keep things moving and on track.
Federal-ready.
Built for set-asides.
Skilak Consulting is SAM-registered (active April 2026) and available for federal IT contracts as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or corp-to-corp partner. As a Native American-owned, Women-Owned Small Business, we qualify for a wide range of socio-economic set-asides that give agencies the ability to meet their small business goals while getting genuine senior engineering talent.
Our SBA 8(a) and EDWOSB certifications are pending approval (submitted April 2026, expected July–August 2026). Once certified, Skilak will be eligible for 8(a) competed and sole-source contracts — opening direct-award opportunities that bypass full competition.
We cover custom software development, IT systems design, cloud infrastructure, web application development, and management consulting — spanning six active NAICS codes across civilian and defense agencies.

Good technology doesn't just solve problems — it creates opportunity, builds trust, and moves your organization forward.
Skilak Consulting was founded in Alaska in October 2023 — a Native American-owned firm built on the belief that senior engineering talent and genuine consulting expertise shouldn't require a Fortune 500 vendor. The name comes from Skilak Lake in the Kenai Peninsula: a place that reflects the values behind the firm — remote, self-reliant, and built to endure.
We're a small, intentional firm. That means you get senior-level attention on your project — not a junior developer with a senior title. We work directly with decision makers, move fast, and deliver systems you can stand behind.
In April 2026, Skilak activated on SAM.gov and submitted SBA applications for 8(a) Business Development, EDWOSB, and Women-Owned Small Business certifications — positioning the firm to compete directly for federal set-aside contracts where our socio-economic profile and technical depth give us a genuine edge.
We're available for project-based engagements, long-term retainers, federal contracting, and corp-to-corp placements — fully remote and available to clients and agencies across the United States.
Who we are
Principal Engineer
Over a decade building production systems across fintech, health IT, IoT, and government-facing platforms — leading architecture and delivery for payment infrastructure, cloud migrations, legacy modernizations, and full-stack applications. Every engagement gets direct, senior-level attention from start to finish.
CEO & Principal Consultant
A background in social work, human services, and renewable energy project development in Alaska — including land lease negotiation, permit acquisition, and stakeholder coordination. This perspective shapes everything we build: the people at the end of the system matter as much as the system itself.
