HARWORTH.AI

Enterprise AI engineering & advisory

AI agents and infrastructure built for the way your business actually runs.

We design, deploy and govern custom AI agents, MCP integrations, private LLM platforms and forecasting models — led by engineers who run them in production and a CISSP-certified security lead.

What we do

From first use case to governed production

We build the parts of enterprise AI that have to work every day: the agents, the integrations, the model platform underneath them, and the controls around all of it.

Custom enterprise AI agents

Agents that do real work inside your systems — IT operations, finance, service desk and line-of-business workflows.

  • Tool-using agents with scoped, auditable permissions
  • Multi-agent orchestration and A2A delegation
  • Human-in-the-loop approval for actions that matter

MCP servers & integrations

Model Context Protocol servers that connect AI to your platforms safely — read-only first, write when it's earned.

  • Connectors for infrastructure, ITSM, ERP and internal apps
  • Per-agent keys, rate limits and gateway-level auth
  • Change-gated write actions with full audit trails

LLM deployment & integration

Private, high-throughput model serving on your hardware or cloud, wired into the tools your people already use.

  • GPU server sizing, SGLang tuning and benchmarking
  • OpenAI-compatible gateways, routing and cost controls
  • Retrieval (RAG) with embeddings and rerankers

Machine learning & forecasting

Gradient-boosted models that forecast demand, spend and risk — with backtests you can trust and explanations you can defend.

  • XGBoost and LightGBM model development
  • Feature pipelines, backtesting and drift monitoring
  • Explainability for finance and operations stakeholders

AI governance & security

Know every model, agent, key and integration you run — and control what each one is allowed to do.

  • AI inventory and ownership mapping
  • Guardrails (NeMo Guardrails) on inputs and outputs
  • Policy, risk registers and approval workflows

Strategy & advisory

Clear-eyed guidance on where AI pays off, what to build versus buy, and how to roll it out without surprises.

  • Use-case discovery and ROI framing
  • Architecture reviews and build-vs-buy decisions
  • Executive briefings and team enablement

How we work

Engineered in stages. Accountable at every one.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path, so you see value early and never lose control of what's running.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Map your systems, data and risk posture. Pick the use cases where AI earns its keep first.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architecture, security model and success measures agreed up front — including what agents may never do.

  3. 03

    Build

    Agents, MCP servers, models and platform delivered in small, tested increments in your environment.

  4. 04

    Govern & operate

    Inventory, guardrails, change control and monitoring handed over — or run by us as a managed service.

Security & governance

Governance isn't a phase. It's the foundation.

AI that can act on your systems needs the same rigor as any privileged user. We build security in from the first line of code — led by a CISSP-certified founder who has spent a career protecting enterprise infrastructure.

CISSP-led
Security architecture reviewed by an (ISC)² Certified Information Systems Security Professional.
  • Every agent, model, key and integration inventoried with an owner
  • Write actions gated behind change approval
  • Guardrails on prompts, tool calls and outputs
  • Least-privilege, short-lived credentials wherever possible
  • Audit logging for every tool call an agent makes

Expertise

Hands-on with the stack that matters

We don't just recommend tools — we've deployed, tuned and operated them.

Selected work

Built, deployed and still running

A sample of the kind of systems we deliver. Client names withheld.

Multi-site enterprise · IT operations

A governed fleet of operations agents

Challenge

A lean IT team needed help with infrastructure, service-desk and reporting work without handing AI uncontrolled access.

What we delivered

Specialized agents that delegate to each other over A2A, reach systems only through purpose-built MCP servers, and route every change through an approval workflow.

A2AMCPChange control

Enterprise · AI platform

Private LLM platform on owned hardware

Challenge

Hosted model costs and data-residency concerns were limiting how far AI could go.

What we delivered

An on-premises GPU server running SGLang, tuned and benchmarked for agent workloads, behind an OpenAI-compatible gateway with per-agent keys — data never leaves the building.

Enterprise · Risk & compliance

AI inventory and governance program

Challenge

Leadership couldn't answer a simple question: what AI is running here, and who owns it?

What we delivered

A live inventory of models, agents, keys and app registrations, with guardrails and approval paths that satisfy security and audit.
