The delivery capabilities behind everything Labs builds.
Labs doesn’t invent in a vacuum. Every prototype stands on capabilities Oddball works in daily across VA, CMS, SEC, USAF, and DHA, and what Labs proves flows back into delivery. Nine areas anchor the practice.
Cloud Architecture
Federal platforms run at scale on EKS, Fargate, and Aurora. We design for the boundary agencies actually operate in, and our migrations have a habit of leaving infrastructure cheaper to run than we found it.
DevSecOps & CI/CD
Security enters the pipeline at the first commit, not at the audit. Compliance as code, automated scanning, and hardened pipelines keep programs shipping on systems where the security bar is the mission.
Data Management & Analytics
Enterprise data platforms built and run at the scale of Medicare: ingestion, governance, and analytics that turn scattered records into answers the mission can act on.
AI Delivery
AI where it counts: production AI approved and running inside the federal boundary, built with the guardrails to belong there. Precision over spectacle, and always in service of the person using the system.
Legacy Modernization
COBOL to GitHub. Oracle to PostgreSQL. Mainframe to open source. We modernize decades-old systems in place, recovering the business logic locked inside them so what comes next is built on what is actually true.
Human-Centered Design
Design that starts with the person on the other end of the system, carried through at platform scale. Our teams maintain the VA Design System, the shared design language behind VA.gov.
Section 508 Accessibility
Accessibility as the mission rather than the checkbox: built in from the first sprint, tested continuously, and documented in patterns that teams beyond ours inherit.
Security & ATO Compliance
Compliance engineered as code on some of the government’s most scrutinized platforms, from control automation to Authorities to Operate earned on accelerated timelines.
Healthcare Interoperability
Bridging FHIR, HL7, and the legacy formats agencies cannot drop, through live EHR transitions. Health data keeps flowing while the systems beneath it change.
