Advanced Systems Engineering|AI & Machine Learning·Autonomy·Industrial Automation
We engineer what doesn't exist yet.
Bruhn Freeman Advanced Solutions builds complete systems — applied AI and machine learning, computer vision and perception, robotics and autonomy, industrial automation, and the cloud, edge and security infrastructure underneath them. We design the intelligence, write the control, and integrate the hardware it commands.
Capabilities
Ten disciplines under one roof. Most problems worth solving cross more than one field, so nothing falls through the seam between two vendors.
Enterprise Storage & Data Protection
SAN/NAS engineering across EMC, NetApp and Hitachi arrays — fault-tolerant fabric design, encrypted offsite backup, and disaster-recovery architecture built to a 99.99% uptime bar.
Large-Scale Program Management
Running the operations side of a system, not just the code — staffing, vendor coordination and security posture across dozens of concurrent workstreams on multi-million-dollar contracts.
AI & Machine Learning
Models that make decisions in production, not in a notebook — training pipelines, inference that holds its latency budget, and drift monitoring.
Computer Vision & Perception
Real-time perception for the physical world — thermal and RGB fusion, detection, tracking and re-identification, running at the edge and in the dark.
Robotics & Autonomy
The intelligence and control that drives robots, drones and unmanned platforms: autonomy behaviors, mission planning, sensor fusion and safety logic.
Industrial & Process Automation
Control logic, RPA and orchestration that connect machines, software and people into one audited pipeline — replacing manual handoffs.
Cloud, Data & Edge
Governed AWS landing zones, infrastructure-as-code, streaming data pipelines, and edge deployments that survive bad networks and worse weather.
Security, Identity & Assurance
Biometric credentialing and high-assurance identity, automated hardening, and continuous compliance with audit evidence on demand.
IoT, Sensing & Embedded
Sensor networks, telemetry and the low-power links that carry them — LoRa, MQTT and solar nodes that run for months off-grid without a visit.
Systems Integration
Making equipment, platforms and vendors that were never designed to cooperate behave as one system. Usually the hardest part of the job.
Software & Mobile Interfaces
The applications, portals and iOS/Android front ends people actually touch — engineered end to end, through App Store launch and past it.
R&D & Prototyping
Problems with no known solution. We prototype, instrument and measure until a concept is proven or disproven — before anyone funds scaling it.
Selected Work
Twenty-five systems in service — from a neighborhood storefront to airborne search-and-rescue, government-scale program management, and defense-grade identity.
SkyWatch — Aerial Search & Rescue Vision
Real-time drone vision that finds missing people across thousands of acres — thermal and RGB fusion, AI detection on the aircraft, geo-located hits on an incident-command map in seconds.
View Project →Large-Scale IT Program Management
Operational and security leadership across a $70M state government network-operations contract — 22 concurrent task orders and an 80-person staff run at zero-tolerance reliability.
View Project →Enterprise SAN Storage & Data Protection
A fault-tolerant, meshed SAN fabric and encrypted offsite backup rebuilt from the ground up — sustaining 99.99% availability across a federal enterprise storage environment.
View Project →Enterprise Smart-Card Single Sign-On & PKI
One Java smart card driving PKI-based sign-on across PC, VPN, email and the building door — built for a federal agency years ahead of mainstream enterprise SSO.

Biometric Trusted-Traveler Program R&D
Early prototype work — fingerprint, facial recognition and hand-geometry capture bound to a smart-card credential — for a federal border-security trusted-traveler initiative.
View Project →TryOn — AI Virtual Clothing Try-On
A published iOS app that photographs any garment and generates a photorealistic image of you wearing it. Grok Imagine inference, social feed, credits and subscriptions, shipped end to end.
View Project →Sentinel — Autonomous Perimeter Surveillance
Fixed cameras fused with an autonomous patrol drone. Verified intrusions auto-launch a drone to investigate, cutting nuisance alarms by an order of magnitude across large sites.
View Project →Predator Guardian — Livestock Protection AI
Solar-powered watch posts that tell a coyote from a calf in the dark and dispatch escalating deterrents at the first sign of danger — off-grid, over LoRa.

Enterprise AWS Migration & Landing Zone
A governed multi-account AWS landing zone and the CI/CD that migrated a healthcare enterprise's on-prem estate — security and compliance applied as code to every account.
View Project →Biometric Access Control & Credentialing
Multi-factor, high-assurance identity binding a face to a card to a document — facial recognition, smart cards, RFID and tamper-evident document verification.
View Project →Method
Nothing gets built before we understand what it has to survive, and nothing ships before it has been proven under conditions like the ones it will actually meet.
Instrument
We map how the work actually moves — not an idealized version. Measurements first, so we solve the real constraint and not the one easiest to describe.
Architect
System design matched to your scale, budget and growth path. Every technical decision explained in plain language, with the tradeoffs on the table.
Build & Prove
Iterative development with you in the loop at every milestone. Working software early and often, tested against real conditions rather than demoed at the end.
Deploy & Sustain
Live deployment with full documentation and training, then monitoring and maintenance for as long as you want it.
Start a Project
If you know exactly what you need, we will build it. If you only know the problem, that is a fine place to start — scoping the unknown is most of what we do.
