I build early and the world catches up.
Thirty years building production software. The last three, AI systems that ship. I design the structure, build it, and hand it to your team running.
AI architecture and automation consulting, from New Orleans.
Gaudet Systems designs, builds, and hands off production AI systems for small business, mid-market, and enterprise clients. Services cover AI architecture and system design, agentic builds and automation pipelines, handoff and team training, and technical due diligence. Engagements are fixed-scope and priced before work begins. The architect who scopes the project is the one who writes the code.
Three ways in, one standard of finish.
Every engagement ends the same way: a working system your team owns and operates without me.
AI Architecture
Design the system before anyone touches a model. Data, workflows, cost, and failure modes mapped out, so what gets built does not have to be rebuilt.
Agentic Build
Production agents, automation pipelines, and integrations. Built and shipped, not prototyped and abandoned at the demo stage.
Handoff and Operate
Documented, observable, and owned by your team by the time I am done. Not a black box only I can maintain.
The senior person in the room writes the code. There is no junior bench behind me, no handoff to a delivery team you have not met. You get the architect, and the architect builds it.
The ownership test
FDA-cleared before it was an industry.
In 2012 I served as product owner and engineering lead on LILAH, a remote patient monitoring platform that cleared the FDA twice under 510(k) K120941 and K130360. I named it, designed its threshold-based vitals alerting model, and led it through both clearances.
That alerting architecture — caregiver-set limits triggering alerts to family and care teams — is now standard across the remote patient monitoring industry. I have a habit of building things a few years before the market names them.
One architect. No bench behind him.
I am Rob Gaudet. I have been writing production software since 1999, I co-authored Microsoft's .NET Architecture certification exams, and I build agentic AI systems every day from New Orleans.
When you hire Gaudet Systems, I am who shows up, and I am who writes the code. That is the whole model.
Five systems, shipped solo.
Victora, Aunt Mabel, InkThorn, TextOS, and a disaster relief nonprofit that has run twenty-plus deployments. Every architectural decision in them is mine.
Provable, not asserted.
MCDBA — Microsoft Certified Database Administrator
