Introducing Merlin System Solutions
Mission-critical IT solutions for federal agencies and defense contractors, delivered by a team that understands the unique demands of government work.
Who We Are
Merlin System Solutions is a Tampa, Florida-based IT consulting firm delivering enterprise-grade technology solutions to federal agencies, defense contractors, and the Intelligence Community. We specialize in the intersection of DevSecOps, secure AI, and enterprise infrastructure—where mission success depends on getting the technology right.
Our team brings decades of combined experience in federal IT, including work with DIA, USSOCOM, USCENTCOM, JSOC, USSOUTHCOM, and the broader Intelligence Community. We understand the compliance requirements, security mandates, and operational realities that government programs demand.
What We Do
DevSecOps & CI/CD
We build and operate secure CI/CD pipelines that meet CMMC, FedRAMP, and DoD security requirements. Our expertise spans GitHub Enterprise (Server and Cloud), GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Jenkins—with a focus on automated security scanning, artifact management, and compliant deployment workflows.
Technologies: GitHub Actions, JFrog Artifactory, SonarQube, Anchore, HashiCorp Vault
Secure AI & Machine Learning
We deploy AI capabilities into air-gapped, classified, and compliance-constrained environments where cloud AI services can't go. Our work includes Identity Intelligence, Sensitive Site Exploitation analysis, and custom ML models that operate entirely within your security boundary.
Technologies: Azure OpenAI (Government), local LLM deployment, MLOps pipelines
Enterprise Infrastructure & Containerization
From bare-metal Kubernetes clusters to managed cloud infrastructure, we design and implement container platforms that meet federal security requirements. We handle the complexity of running containers in environments where you can't just spin up a managed service.
Technologies: Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker, Podman, Helm, Terraform
GitHub Enterprise Implementation
We're specialists in GitHub Enterprise deployments for federal customers—both Server (for air-gapped and classified environments) and Cloud (for FedRAMP-authorized workflows). We handle migrations, SSO integration, Advanced Security configuration, and developer training.
Capabilities: Migration planning, GHAS rollout, InnerSource programs, compliance automation
