Forward deployed engineering · Korea · India
AI, from pilot to production, inside your systems.
DeployWorks embeds senior forward deployed engineers in your environment (cloud, on-prem or air-gapped) to connect AI to the systems and data you already run. You keep the code.

The last mile
Most AI pilots never reach production.
The model is rarely the problem. The last mile is: wiring AI into systems that were never designed for it, under constraints that can't be bent.
- Integration
- The value sits in ERP, MES, core banking and legacy databases, not in a demo notebook.
- Data access
- Personal and confidential data can't leave the building, and sometimes can't leave a network segment.
- Security review
- Prompt injection, data leakage and model supply chain all have to pass your security team.
- Ownership
- Someone has to run the system after the consultants leave.
What we do
Five capability lines, one job: production.
Small senior pods that work inside your environment, in your tools, under your controls.
01
Private LLM, RAG & Agents
Open-weight models, retrieval and agents running inside your network: evaluated, monitored and access-controlled.
02
Enterprise & Legacy Integration
Connect AI to SAP, MES, core banking and the databases your business actually runs on, through interfaces your teams can maintain.
03
Edge & Federated AI
Inference at the plant or branch, and learning across sites without moving raw data.
04
AI Platform & GPU Infrastructure
Kubernetes, GPU capacity planning, model serving and LLMOps that your team can operate after we leave.
05
AI & Cyber Security
Threat modelling, prompt-injection defences, red-teaming and secure deployment for AI systems.
How we engage
Start small. Ship something real.
Every engagement has a clear scope, a clear owner and a clear end.
Days
Founder advisory
Architecture and model review with founders who have done AI R&D, with written, actionable feedback.
2 weeks
Discovery
Systems and data mapping, a target architecture and a clear go / no-go.
6–8 weeks
Pilot / PoC
One use case taken to production in a bounded scope, at a fixed price.
Monthly
Dedicated FDE pod
A lead architect and FDEs embedded in your team, working in your tools.
Per project
Partner delivery
Implementation under your brand or contract, for AI vendors and SIs.
How a pod works
- 1Discover
Map systems, data, constraints and risks. Agree on success metrics.
- 2Embed
Join your chat and issue tracker, follow your change management, pair with your engineers.
- 3Ship
Release to production behind your controls, with evaluation and monitoring.
- 4Hand off
Code, infrastructure-as-code, runbooks and training. You own everything.
Where we work
Onsite in Korea, depth from India.
Korea
Onsite delivery
Korean-speaking leads at your site, including network-separated (망분리) environments.
India
Engineering depth
A remote engineering pod that builds and tests components against synthetic data and agreed interfaces.
Global
Partner delivery
A local implementation partner for AI vendors and SIs selling into Korea and India.
Who we are
Built by engineers who have shipped.
DeployWorks was founded by engineers with more than a decade of research and development in AI, security and privacy. Together with other founders, we have built open-source and startup projects and helped take them to market.
- Founders work hands-on in every engagement.
- Security and privacy are designed in from day one.
- From research to production, and on to market.
For engineers
The DeployWorks FDE Network
We're building a network of verified, certified forward deployed engineers across Korea, India and beyond, with vetting, certification, training and engagements. Opening in 2027.
