Our Team

A small, senior team you work with directly — the people who diagnose the problem and write the code.

Owner/Operator & Lead Engineer

FounderO'Fallon, IL

Hi, I'm Ceryce Armstrong — owner, operator, and the person who actually writes the code at KMO Solutions Foundry. I'm a senior software engineer with ten-plus years building production systems in regulated industries, where the margin for error is thin and the details decide everything.

I started KMO Solutions Foundry in April 2025 on a simple conviction: small businesses in the Metro East deserve the same engineering rigor the big companies demand — real diagnostic time, honest tradeoffs, and one accountable owner who stands behind the work.

  • Current — a major financial-services modernization

    I'm on a four-engineer back-end team that's driven a 33% speedup in batch processing over a three-month build, plus the back-end work the broader modernization depends on.

  • PNC Bank — Senior Software Engineer

    Led the team and the technical implementation of a legacy batch modernization that processed hundreds of thousands to millions of financial transactions a day.

  • BJC Healthcare — Healthcare Informaticist

    Built the reporting infrastructure for antibiotic use and resistance reporting to the CDC, handling millions of medication-administration events a month.

  • A national financial-services firm's charitable arm — Senior Software Engineer

    Designed custom AI agents that cut implementation time on some modernization projects by 90%.

How we work together

When you take on a project with KMO Solutions Foundry, you work directly with the senior people writing your code — the same engineering discipline we've brought to production systems in banking, healthcare, and fintech, now pointed at small-business problems.

Full-stack coverage, AI in the loop on the parts where it earns its place, and one accountable owner who stands behind the result. Small enough that you talk to the people writing the code; senior enough that they've done it at scale.
