Chariot Solutions

We’re an IT consulting firm founded in 2002 and based in the Greater Philadelphia region. We specialize in software development, systems integration, mobile application development, and training. We use small teams of consultants with varied expertise to deliver solutions to clients.

Our services include custom and cloud application development, using technologies like AWS, Azure, Java, Python, Go, TypeScript, Node, React, iOS, and Android. We also provide data engineering services, where we ingest, transform, and organize data with tools such as AWS Glue, Athena, Redshift, S3, PySpark, Postgres, and Python. We offer SRE and DevOps services for scalable cloud deployments on AWS and Azure. Additionally, we develop AI and intelligent agent solutions, including custom LLM applications, RAG-powered knowledge bases, and domain-specific agents.

We believe technology should solve challenging business problems. Our approach combines disciplined hiring and project management with professional investment to help clients succeed. We think every company is a technology company and needs a partner skilled in complex software development.

Our core values include transparency and honesty throughout every project. We build client relationships based on trust and shared goals, and we maintain clear communication. Internally, we value our employees. We hire people who demonstrate teamwork, good communication, common sense, and a commitment to continuous learning. Our culture emphasizes lifelong learning, employee well-being, mutual respect, and caring.
