We partnered with this development contractor to implement an AI-powered solution using AWS Bedrock, requiring expertise in prompt engineering, model selection, and Python development.

Technical Expertise: Their deep knowledge of AI technologies, particularly AWS Bedrock and advanced prompt engineering techniques, was evident throughout the project. They stayed current with rapidly evolving AI tools and best practices.

Communication: The project managers and developers were remarkably thoughtful when working through technical questions with our team. Complex AI concepts were explained clearly, and no question was too basic or too advanced for thorough discussion.

Knowledge Transfer Excellence: They worked closely with our technical team to ensure complete codebase handover. The training sessions were comprehensive, and our team now feels confident maintaining and extending the solution independently.

Optimization Mindset: Every aspect of the solution was optimized for performance, cost-efficiency, and maintainability. This attention to detail has resulted in lower operational costs and better system performance.

This level of accommodation kept our project moving without delays.

Their project management skills were exceptional - they proactively ensured they always had the information needed to keep the project on schedule, demonstrating remarkable patience with our often unpredictable schedules. They consistently found ways to work around these constraints while maintaining momentum and meeting all deadlines.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

My company was looking at developing an in-house solution for live streaming using AWS.  We are a small staff of 2 developers working on multiple internal projects.  We considered building a live stream platform in house but it would require time away from what we were already working on to build a scalable solution that would handle high volumes of traffic.  We also needed for this application to have the ability to grow with us as our needs and requirements grew.  We reached out to Armakuni for the development of the live streaming portal.  They worked with us from concept to creation.  They were very professional and communicated with us the entire time.  We are very pleased withe the outcome.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Armakuni?

We wanted to upgrade our media mix modeling platform, create some new models, and improve the application overall.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Armakuni has moved our architecture from AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and S3 to DocumentDB and Amplify. The team has also rewritten our model and built two new ones. Armakuni has moved us into the most up-to-date React.js frameworks.

The new models include upgrades from PyMC3 to PyMC5, simplified Docker files, better feature engineering, and DAG/Airflow integration. The team has reduced our codebase by 80%.

What is the team composition?

We work with five teammates from Armakuni.

How did you come to work with Armakuni?

We found them through our AWS account manager; he referred them to us. We chose Armakuni over other options because they had AWS certification and support.

Tejas, one of their data scientists, is great. He can do data engineering and data science and communicate well. Armakuni goes above and beyond to deliver and copes with mistakes instead of hiding them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They originally assigned us too many resources that we didn’t need. One of the data scientists had to be taken off the project because she was too slow and did poor work.
