Federal Data Architecture
We turn scattered government data into answers leaders can trust. Modern lakehouses and warehouses, automated pipelines, and analytics built by the architects who designed them leveraging modern AI tooling.
Why It Matters
An anvil is where raw metal gets shaped into something useful. That is what we do with data.
Most agencies have plenty of raw data but struggle to turn it into answers to their most important questions. We design and build modern data platforms (lakehouses and warehouses) with automated pipelines that keep information clean, consistent, and current, so leaders can answer their most critical questions.
The same foundation lets people ask questions in plain English and get reliable answers, and helps analysts spot patterns and trends they would otherwise miss. We also use today's AI tools throughout our own engineering work, which means higher quality at lower cost.
About AnvilWhat We Do
We start with the problem and the outcome, then choose the technology. Every engagement is led by a senior data architect.
lakehouse + warehouse architecture
When the same program or facility is counted differently depending on where you look, staff spend hours reconciling and AI tools answer with confidence but not accuracy. We crosswalk records across systems, model them properly, and test them, so every report agrees and the data is ready for AI.
Lakehouse and Data Warehouse Architectureautomation + agentic ai
Manual steps and fragile scripts eat staff time and let bad data reach reports unnoticed. We automate pipelines with quality checks at every step, document them for your team to maintain, and add AI agents for repetitive multi-step work, with guardrails and human review.
Automation and Agentic AI Developmentbi modernization + advanced analytics
We move reporting off aging tools like OBIEE, Cognos, and Business Objects onto modern platforms built on trusted data. Then machine learning forecasts trends, flags anomalies, and surfaces patterns hiding in large volumes of data, including text.
BI Modernization and Advanced AnalyticsHow We Are Different
We are not structured to hold seats. We are structured to eliminate the work that fills them.
Our goal is a lower total cost of ownership, not a larger headcount. We solve the hardest problems, automate the repetitive work, train your team to operate what we build, and move on.
Every engagement is led by a senior data architect who spends meaningful hours on it, supported by top computer science talent.
Documentation, runbooks, and hands-on training are deliverables. Government staff operate what we build.
Our leadership has executed enterprise-scale legacy BI to lakehouse conversions, including the metadata and parity work that decides whether users accept a migration.
Direct, honest answers and real options, each with its ROI shown.
We use modern AI tooling throughout our engineering process to raise quality and lower cost.

Leadership Experience
U.S. Department of Transportation
Led design and operation of a department-wide data and analytics platform serving eight agencies. Reduced operating cost by automating previously manual provisioning, ingestion, and governance workflows.
Federal Enterprise BI
More than 1,000 reports migrated with metadata extraction, semantic layer reconstruction, and automated report parity validation. Automation replaced an estimated six months of manual conversion effort.
Army G1
Led the data services effort for workforce readiness and manpower analytics on Palantir Foundry and Army Vantage, including gold-layer schema design, ontology development, and operational applications.
