// PAST PERFORMANCE — FEDERAL & COMMERCIAL
From the CDC's enterprise data front door to NASA disaster response — fifteen years of cloud engineering on contracts that can't fail.
Mechanicode led the establishment of the CDC OCIO Enterprise DevSecOps (EDSO) team, setting new standards for enterprise cloud conventions agency-wide.
The CDC is revolutionizing enterprise modernization through its Data Modernization Initiative, and Mechanicode has been pivotal in this transformation. Spearheading cloud operations for the OCIO Enterprise Data Exchange (DEX) — the "front door" — we provide a seamless, single entry point for the public health community to transmit data directly to the CDC, accessible to partners across state, tribal, local and territorial levels. Engineered on Azure for pandemic-scale demands and processing billions of messages daily, DEX has grown from a green-field project into critical infrastructure poised to onboard and centralize all external APIs for the agency — delivered with a rigorous quality framework spanning code review, unit, integration, system and user acceptance testing.
Mechanicode assumed comprehensive responsibility for cloud IT product assessment, design, development, re-architecture, enhancement, deployment, and operations and maintenance for the CDC IT Portfolio.
Mechanicode engaged with NASA to modernize how they react to California forest fire disasters — using direct satellite acquisition and cloud-scale processing to analyze weather data while reducing latency from acquisition to data availability for scenarios like disaster response.
Mechanicode embeds cloud subject matter expertise directly into start-up and consultancy teams — auditing existing CI/CD and cloud infrastructure, then planning and implementing modernized deployment and operational infrastructure post-audit. Engagements cover cloud-native architecture, container orchestration, distributed systems CI, and operational metrics and observability tooling.
