What we do
Three services, one standard of proof
Planetek is a senior practice with three core fronts, and every claim on this site traces back to something you can open: a live environment, a public codebase, or a published bill. Each service has its own page with scopes, common questions, and the proof behind it.
Managed AWS Services
We architect, migrate, secure, and operate AWS for growing businesses: senior engineering on a flexible monthly engagement, everything in Terraform, and a bill someone actually watches.

Managed AWS services →Federal IT Contracting
An active SAM.gov registered contractor delivering cloud architecture, Zero Trust, and DevSecOps to federal agencies and prime contractors, from Colorado's Front Range.
CAGE 1ZZA0 · UEI PHN7PHMZBKS4 · SDB certified
Federal contracting →Fractional CTO / CIO / VP
Executive technology leadership a few days a month instead of a full-time salary: roadmap, architecture, hiring, and vendor calls, from a leader who still ships.

AI Enablement & Training
An extension of the AWS practice: we build your Bedrock stack and train your team to use it. Instruction comes from a college CIS professor and Fortune 500 certified trainer, in person along the Front Range or online.

AI enablement & training →Application Delivery on AWS
Custom applications built and run on the same serverless patterns we manage: React and TypeScript with sign-in, roles, and a bilingual interface, like the Alpenglow permit portal, or dependency-free static sites like the one you are reading.

Application delivery →Proof of work
Twelve doors, all of them open
The AWS Boardwalk is our standing portfolio: twelve production-grade environments covering web apps, APIs, events, containers, data, AI, documents, security, networking, databases, DevOps, and model evaluation. Every door below is a real deployment. Walk through any of them.
All twelve run on the same patterns we sell: Terraform end-to-end, keyless CI/CD, least-privilege IAM, and free-tier-first architecture.
Federal Contractor
Federal IT Contracting & Consulting
Planetek LLC is an active SAM.gov registered contractor delivering enterprise-scale cloud architecture, Zero Trust implementation, DevSecOps, and IT consulting to federal agencies and prime contractors. Colorado-based with geographic alignment to NORAD/USNORTHCOM, Space Force, VA Eastern Colorado, and Denver-area civilian agencies.
Capability areas, NAICS codes, and evidence you can open today live on the federal page, along with the capability statement as a downloadable PDF.
Field Notes
Written from the workbench
Short, specific write-ups from work we have shipped: what it cost, what broke, and what we would repeat.

The Thirteenth Door
Even the contact form is a demo
Everything else on this page points at something you can open, and the form below is no exception. A submission rides the same stack we sell, and both the Terraform and the Lambda source sit in the public repo next to the rest of the boardwalk. Tell us what you're trying to do and you'll hear back from a person within 24 hours. If you'd rather skip the typing and just talk, you can book a free 30-minute consultation straight onto our calendar.
