Approach – Matt Adler Consulting

Government agencies and industrial facilities need software that will work reliably for years, possibly decades. That means making technology choices based on stability and maintainability, not trends. It means writing code that future developers can understand. It means avoiding unnecessary complexity and vendor dependencies.

Every technical decision I make is informed by a simple question: will this still be the right choice in ten years?

Security & Compliance

Security is built into every system from day one, following industry standards and government security frameworks.

Data Protection

✓ Encryption in transit and at rest
✓ US-based data residency options
✓ Automated backups with point-in-time recovery
✓ Secure document and file storage

Access & Auditing

✓ Role-based access control (RBAC)
✓ Complete audit logging of all user actions
✓ Secure session management
✓ Input validation and injection prevention

Compliance Alignment

Systems are designed with NIST 800-53 controls in mind and can be configured to meet FISMA, SOC 2, and other regulatory requirements. Security documentation and control mappings available upon request.

System Integrations

Modern operations don't exist in isolation. Systems are built to connect with your existing infrastructure and external services.

Geospatial & Mapping

GIS platform integration (Esri ArcGIS, MapBox)
Spatial data visualization and analysis
Property and parcel data lookups
Asset location mapping and tracking

Identity & Access

Single Sign-On (SAML, OAuth 2.0)
Active Directory and LDAP
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
Multi-factor authentication

Industrial & Facility Systems

SCADA and control system data feeds
IoT sensor integration
Environmental monitoring systems
Building management systems

Enterprise Systems

Financial and ERP system connectors
Document management platforms
Email and notification services
Reporting and business intelligence tools

Custom API development — Need to connect to a system not listed here? I build clean, documented APIs that integrate with virtually any platform that supports modern web standards.

Hosting & Infrastructure

Applications are deployed on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with the reliability and security your organization requires.

✓ High availability infrastructure with automatic failover
✓ Automatic scaling for demand spikes
✓ Continuous uptime monitoring and alerting

✓ Government cloud options available
✓ Daily automated backups
✓ Disaster recovery planning

Built for Long-Term Maintenance

Systems are designed so that future developers, whether me or someone else, can understand and maintain them.

Clean Architecture

Straightforward code organization with clear separation of concerns. No clever abstractions that obscure what the code does.

Industry Standards

Built on proven, widely-supported technologies with strong developer communities. No proprietary frameworks or exotic architectures.

Complete Documentation

Systems include documentation covering architecture, deployment, and common maintenance tasks. New developers can get up to speed quickly.

No Vendor Lock-In

Your data belongs to you. It's stored in standard relational databases and exportable in open formats like CSV and JSON. There are no artificial dependencies on my continued involvement, and no business model that depends on making it difficult for you to leave. If you ever need to bring in another developer or move to a different arrangement, your data goes with you.
