Vendor-Neutral AI Forward Deployed Engineering — Fractional FDE Services

// Fractional Forward Deployed Engineering

Vendor-Neutral AI Forward Deployed Engineering.

Don't get locked into a single AI vendor. We embed within your team to build flexible, custom agentic workflows that let you choose the best models for the job.

// THE OPPORTUNITY

The AI Industry Has a Lock-In Problem.

Andrew Ng's tweet discussing the rise of AI Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs)

// Andrew Ng on the FDE career path and agentic workflows

THE PROBLEM

Big Tech FDEs Lock You In

  • Locked into a single provider's proprietary model ecosystem
  • Skyrocketing switching costs as your codebase deepens
  • No flexibility to adopt better, cheaper models as they emerge
OUR APPROACH

Vendor-Neutral HarrisonAIx FDE

  • Architectures designed to swap Claude, GPT, and Llama seamlessly
  • Routing layers to swap models without code modifications
  • Vague business goals translated into realistic agentic workflows
// SERVICE PILLARS

Three Pillars of Vendor-Neutral AI Engineering.

Each engagement is built on these core capabilities — combined and customized to your unique requirements.

AGENTS: ONLINE
PILLAR 01 · AGENTIC

Custom Agentic Workflows & RAG

Specialized multi-agent systems tailored to proprietary data. We design workflows that think, reason, and execute tasks autonomously.

  • Multi-agent orchestration systems
  • RAG pipelines over proprietary data
  • Autonomous tool-use architectures

ROUTING: ACTIVE
PILLAR 02 · AGNOSTIC

Vendor-Agnostic Infrastructure

Routing layers and edge orchestration so you can swap between the best models (Claude, GPT, Llama) without rewriting your applications.

  • Model routing via OpenRouter
  • Cloudflare Workers edge orchestration
  • Zero-downtime model swaps

SECURITY: HARDENED
PILLAR 03 · SECURE

Secure & Local Deployments

Deploy workloads securely on Linux environments, Proxmox virtualization clusters, and dedicated hardware for full data sovereignty.

  • On-premise Linux server environments
  • Proxmox virtualization clusters
  • Full data sovereignty compliance

// THE PROCESS

What It Looks Like to Work With an FDE.

A structured, three-phase engagement that takes you from initial audit to production deployment — with full transparency at every step.

01
PHASE 01 · AUDIT

Workflow Audit

Discover & Prioritize

We deep-dive into your existing processes, data flows, and team structures. Every automation opportunity is mapped, scored for impact, and prioritized into a clear action plan — no generic playbooks.

1–2 weeks
02
PHASE 02 · DESIGN

Vendor-Neutral Architecture Design

Blueprint & Select

We design the technical architecture — model selection, routing layers, data pipelines, and infrastructure blueprints — all built for optionality. You'll never be locked into a single vendor's ecosystem.

2–4 weeks
03
PHASE 03 · DEPLOY

Deployment & Tuning

Build & Optimize

We build, deploy, and integrate the solution into your operations. Post-launch, we monitor performance, fine-tune prompts and models, and iterate until the system delivers measurable ROI.

4–8 weeks
