Company
StreamKernel LLC, founded in 2026 and based in Orlando, FL.
About
Built by practitioners, for decisions that have to be defensible.
StreamKernel LLC builds commercial runtime software for regulated organizations that need policy enforced while a decision executes, and evidence bound to that execution rather than reconstructed from it. The company is early-stage and says so; the claim boundary on this site is deliberately explicit about what is proven, what is pilot work, and what is not claimed.
Founder background
A runtime born from repeated regulated-data problems.
StreamKernel was built by a former Confluent Solutions Architect who saw the same governed event execution problem across financial services, defense, and healthcare clients - teams needed policy enforcement, provenance, cost controls, and audit evidence in the event path but kept building it themselves. StreamKernel is that runtime, hardened and licensed for production.

The SAM.gov badge is held behind a disabled trust-bar flag until active status and UEI/reference details are verified.
Research anchor
The public research library carries the deeper evidence trail.
Program office reviewers, architecture teams, and regulated buyers can review public-sector provenance, air-gapped telemetry governance, healthcare PHI governance, agent tool audit, and benchmark evidence before a commercial conversation.
Recommended review path
- Start with Continuous Inference Provenance for Public Sector AI.
- Review air-gapped defense telemetry governance for disconnected deployment framing.
- Use benchmark notes to separate reproducible local evidence from production guarantees.
- Bring questions about deployment boundaries, provenance, policy, and licensing into the technical demo.
