Expert AI engineers, embedded in your team
Most companies don’t have the people to make AI real in their organization. FDECo supplies proven ‘tip of the spear’ AI experts directly to you, they embed in your organization and drive the AI transformation you need, executed properly at pace.
When this is the right answer?
You have the strategy, you have the budget and you have a team that is good.
What you do not have is anyone who has taken an agentic system into production before, and you are about to find out how much that costs to learn on a live project.
Embedding an engineer works when you want to keep ownership. Your team stays in charge, your architecture stays yours, and you get someone alongside them who has already made the mistakes. Want the whole thing off your desk instead? Our delivery service takes it from scope to production.
What you get
An engineer who has built and run agentic systems in an enterprise environment, not someone who has completed a course on them.
They work in your stack, in your ceremonies, with your people, and they are measured on whether the thing runs.
Behind each engineer sits the rest of our practice. When your problem hits something they have not seen, they are not guessing alone at eleven at night.
That is the difference between a consultant and a contractor, and it is the reason we do not sell bodies by the day and walk away.
Two levels of engineering expertise
Applied AI Engineers
Build, integrate and harden AI systems for production.
Expert Forward Deployed Engineers
Build and lead through technical and business ambiguity.
For as long as you need them
Engagements run from a few weeks to a few years. Where you want to build the capability permanently rather than rent it.

We operate Build-Operate-Transfer: we run the function, we hire and train into it alongside you, and we hand it over on an agreed date with an agreed standard. Where you decide you want the engineer permanently, we will have that conversation openly rather than making it awkward.
The bar
Every engineer we deploy has passed the Forward Deployed Engineer capstone.

A minimum two-week consulting and technology assessment, graded by a panel of practicing applied AI experts. It is a real gate. Attendance does not pass it, and not everyone clears it.
We would rather tell you we have nobody available this month than send you someone who is about to learn on your production system.
How it starts
A ninety-minute technical conversation, not a briefing call.

We want to see the architecture, the constraint and the deadline. You will get an honest read on whether you need one engineer, three, or a delivery team, and we will tell you when the answer is that you do not need us at all.
