Quill Solutions

  • Experienced end-to-end

    solutions services.

    With decades of experience in providing end-to-end solutions for complex community projects in rural Alaska, our team brings a rare blend of technical chops, deep cultural respect, and frontier-tested grit. We don’t just work here—we live here, where your neighbor might be a moose and your internet connection is a prayer and a satellite dish.

    As solutions engineers, we take a holistic and creative approach to solving problems. Out here, 200 miles from nowhere, everyone wears five hats—one of them probably tinfoil, just in case. We fuse science, technology, engineering, and a heavy dose of Alaska-born stubbornness to meet the daily challenges of building, living, and thriving in the bush.

    And while we’re solving the power, connectivity, and infrastructure challenges of the frontier, we also believe in keeping things private. We don’t just mean “off-grid,” we mean off-radar. That’s why we lean into tools and technologies that honor your privacy—like ProtonMail for secure communications, local storage instead of cloud snooping, and open-source software that doesn’t whisper your secrets to Big Tech.

    We like to say: keep Alaska free—run naked in the woods and keep it private. Whether it’s digital liberty or just the freedom to pee in peace behind a spruce tree, we get it. Our solutions are designed to empower self-reliance, protect your data, and make sure your business (and your business) stays your own.

    We’re not just problem-solvers—we’re privacy-preppers with a cause. So if you want to build a network, light up a village, or just keep your emails out of the hands of nosy mainlanders, we’re the team to call. Be a Proton Partner!

Our specialty areas​

At Quill, we don’t just check boxes—we blaze trails. With an in-house PhD research team, we bring academic muscle to frontier problems, combining hard data and local wisdom to help clients make decisions rooted in both evidence and experience. Whether we’re crunching numbers or sitting around a community table, our goal is the same: build trust, build credibility, and build projects that last. Success is building successors.

Tribal and telecom

We’ve designed and deployed telecom networks and business systems across the far reaches of Alaska—from the coastlines of the Bering Sea to mountaintop repeater stations that only a snowmachine and sheer will can reach. We’ve worked with all the major carriers and operated at every level of Tribal government. We know that in rural Alaska, success often comes down to who you know and how you show up, not just what you’ve built on paper.


Bridging cultures, building relationships

As a Native-owned company, we walk in two worlds—and we help our clients do the same. We bridge cultures and build relationships, honoring traditions while designing solutions that thrive in today’s fast-paced (and often nosy) digital world. That’s why we champion privacy-respecting tools and local control. Whether it’s encrypted email, sovereign data systems, or just keeping the federal snoops out of your sled shed—we believe you should own your information, not rent it from Silicon Valley.

At the end of the day, we’re not just building networks or systems—we’re helping communities stay connected, independent, and free. Alaska style. Moose tracks, mukluks, and maybe a mesh network.

Keep Alaska free. Run wild. Stay private.

Decades of diverse experience​​

Drone Inspection & Mapping

Drone Inspection & Mapping


Out here, boots on the ground only go so far—especially when the ground is muskeg, a frozen river, or the top of a 300-foot tower. That’s where our drones come in.

We deploy high-resolution, autonomous drone systems to map, inspect, and document everything from remote infrastructure to village land use plans. Need to survey a 10-mile fiber route through bear country? We’ll fly it before you hike it. Need a structural inspection without sending someone up a wobbly ladder in 30-knot winds? We’ve got that covered too.


And if you need that in a 3D point cloud? We got you there, too. Whether it’s terrain modeling, structure-from-motion, or stitching together topo layers you can walk through in VR—we turn rugged landscapes into rich, usable data.

Our drone services reduce risk, save time, and deliver the kind of precision that satellite imagery just can’t match. Plus, we keep your data local and locked down—no beaming it off to some anonymous cloud server. You own your maps. You own your imagery. Period.

It’s just another way we bring cutting-edge tech and old-school Alaska sense together. Eyes in the sky. Feet on the tundra. Privacy in your pocket.

Remote Camera's, Access, & Network


You want eyes on your loader and a live feed from that drone sweep? No problem—just don’t be surprised if we have to mount a repeater on a spruce tree and hike in before the snow hits.

In rural Alaska, job sites don’t always come with roads—or internet. That’s why we build remote camera and access systems tough enough for the bush. Whether you’re tracking construction progress, monitoring heavy equipment, or need to push drone inspection data from the field to the office, we set up rugged, reliable systems that deliver.

We deploy solar-powered, LTE- or satellite-linked camera systems that give you live visibility into remote sites—without needing a guy on a four-wheeler to drive out and “check on things.” Need motion alerts on your dozer? Want to livestream time-lapse footage of a foundation pour 300 miles from headquarters? Want your drone to auto-upload survey data to your private server? Done, done, and done.

And because we’re serious about sovereignty, we lock down your access with encrypted channels and local control. No Silicon Valley snooping, no mystery data handoffs. Just you, your gear, and a clear line of sight—even if it’s through 12 miles of tundra and fog.

It’s remote access the Alaska way: built strong, built smart, and built to keep working long after the weather says stop.

Land Use Planning

Land Use Planning

Often our clients have everything they need to succeed. They just require the resources and support to make a strategic jump. We create community land use plans that integrate traditional ecological knowledge and Western science to create a holistic approach to land use. The resulting framework establishes a set of methods that can evolve as additional data is gathered, processed and integrated into decision-making.

NEPA and Section 106

NEPA and Section 106

Environmental science isn’t just paperwork—it’s fieldwork, data, and the ability to see the landscape as both a resource and a responsibility. At Quill, our team blends scientific expertise with advanced inspection and mapping capabilities to help clients meet federal requirements and protect the lands they rely on.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act are two key regulatory pillars for infrastructure projects. Together, they ensure that environmental and cultural impacts are properly evaluated before a shovel hits the ground.

Every project—whether it’s broadband through tundra or a new access road near a historic site—requires a level of environmental review. Some projects move through quickly. Others, especially those on protected or culturally significant lands, require a deeper dive. That’s where we come in.

Our environmental science team pairs regulatory experience with boots-on-the-ground tools: drone surveys, remote sensing, GIS-based mapping, and 3D point clouds that allow us to inspect and document landscapes with high precision and low impact. We use this data to create detailed environmental assessments, track change over time, and support the documentation required under NEPA and Section 106.

Whether you’re planning a new build, navigating compliance, or working to avoid delays and protect sensitive resources, we help you move your project forward—thoughtfully, efficiently, and in full alignment with federal standards.


Grant Writing and Administration

Grant Writing and Administration

stems, community facilities, transportation networks, and more.


These large-scale grants require precision: clearly defined work plans, realistic budgets, and a compelling narrative that aligns with community needs and funding priorities. Our team knows how to bring all those elements together to create competitive, high-quality proposals.


But securing the grant is only the first step.


Each funding source—federal, state, or private—has its own requirements for reporting, compliance, and eligible use. Our grants administration team is experienced in managing post-award activities with care and accuracy, ensuring funds are tracked properly and milestones are met. From quarterly reports to budget modifications, we help our clients stay in full compliance throughout the life of the grant.


From application to final reporting, we support the entire grant lifecycle—so your project stays funded, focused, and on track.

Project and Construction Management

​Project and Construction Management

Project management is the art and science of keeping a job on track—balancing scope, schedule, and budget while adapting to the unexpected. Our experienced project managers know that success isn’t just about plans and spreadsheets—it’s about communication, flexibility, and knowing when to lead from the front.

Construction management, on the other hand, is where the rubber meets the road. It’s boots-on-the-ground coordination of materials, crews, timelines, and inspections. It’s about keeping the job moving, safely and efficiently, from the first excavation to final closeout.

On some projects, one person wears both hats. On larger or more complex builds, those responsibilities split across a broader team. Either way, Quill brings more than 20 years of project leadership to the table—in every role, at every scale.

We don’t just manage projects—we deliver them.


Network Installation and Administration

​Network Installation and Administration

Networks come in all sizes—home, office, neighborhood, village, city, and statewide. And with each step up in scale, the complexity grows. Managing an office LAN is one thing; designing and administering a multi-jurisdictional or statewide network is another.

At Quill, we meet our clients where they are. Whether you’re wiring up a single building or lighting up an entire community, we design, install, and manage networks that fit the scale—and the stakes. We’ve built networks that support everything from tribal offices to public safety systems, remote schools to broadband infrastructure.

From basic setup to enterprise-class administration, we make sure your network is secure, scalable, and ready for what’s next.

Facilities Construction

​Facilities Construction

Facilities construction can mean a lot of things—and we’ve built just about all of them. From a simple storage shed to a fully equipped community center, or a hardened telecom tower with a climate-controlled shelter, we manage projects that serve real needs in real places.

No matter the size or scope, we approach every build with the same attention to detail and commitment to durability. In remote Alaska, structures aren’t just buildings—they’re lifelines. They need to be tough, functional, and built to stand up to the elements.

We know how to design and deliver facilities that work—whether it’s housing your gear, your people, or your mission.

Business Process Automation

​Business Process Automation

Every business runs on process—whether it’s onboarding staff, tracking time, submitting trip reports, managing inventory, invoicing customers, or keeping up with sales and service logs. In rural Alaska, these processes aren’t just workflows—they’re survival systems. And when they break down, things get expensive fast.

At Quill, we take a hard look under the hood of how your business operates. We map out your processes, identify the bottlenecks, and build streamlined systems that actually work—even when the internet’s down or the office is a shipping container 300 miles from the nearest copier.

We help you cut through the paperwork clutter so you spend less time wrestling spreadsheets and more time focused on what really matters: serving your community, growing your business, and getting home before the snowmachine freezes over.

From batch processing to billing, we engineer workflows that fit your reality—not some corporate cubicle fantasy. Rugged, efficient, and built for the bush.


Policy Analysis

​​Policy Analysis

Big projects require more than good intentions—they require the right policies. Whether you’re managing internal operations or proposing bold changes for the public good, solid policy is the backbone of success.

At Quill, we help organizations cut through the noise and get clear on the policies that guide their work. Need to update your internal procedures to keep pace with growth? Need a deep dive into local, state, or federal regulations before proposing a new initiative? We’ve got the team for that.

Our policy analysts bring decades of experience reviewing, drafting, and refining both organizational and public policy. From tribal governance to state regulations to federal compliance, we know how to turn dense language into actionable, culturally competent policy that holds up in the real world.

Policy analysis isn’t just a paperwork exercise—it’s a tool for transformation. Whether you’re aiming to streamline operations, strengthen accountability, or influence broader systems of power, we help you make sure your policy supports your mission—and not the other way around.

General Contractor

​General Contractor

A general contractor does more than build—they orchestrate. From the first shovel in the ground to the final inspection, a GC oversees every moving part of a construction project. That means managing subcontractors and suppliers, pulling the right permits, scheduling inspections, and ensuring everything meets current building codes and regulations—no shortcuts, no surprises.

They’re also the client’s go-to throughout the process—handling concerns, tracking timelines, managing contracts and change orders, and keeping the budget on target. When things get complicated (and they usually do), a good general contractor keeps the wheels turning and the communication clear.

At Quill, we bring over 20 years of hands-on experience managing projects of all shapes and sizes—from remote renovations to multi-million-dollar builds. We understand the terrain, the logistics, and the stakes. We get the job done, and we get it done right.

Environmental Services

​Environmental Services

From tracking changes in the land to minimizing impact during construction, our team brings deep, hands-on experience across the full spectrum of environmental work. This isn’t just a service we offer—it’s where our roots run deep.

Environmental stewardship is where we began as professionals. We are Indigenous scientists, technologists, and land-based knowledge holders. We’ve spent years in the woods—not just with clipboards, but with respect. We walk the land, we listen to it, and we apply that understanding to help our clients plan smarter, build cleaner, and leave less behind.

Whether it’s environmental assessments, permitting support, site remediation, or monitoring during active construction, we blend western science with traditional knowledge to deliver solutions that work—for the land and the people who live on it.

This isn’t just environmental compliance—it’s a commitment to future generations.

Regulatory Consulting

Regulatory Consulting

Understanding and complying with current laws and regulations is a critical—but often complex—part of any successful project. At Quill, we help our clients navigate this regulatory terrain with confidence.

Our team brings deep experience working across federal, state, tribal, and local regulatory frameworks. We help identify which rules apply, how to meet them, and how to stay compliant throughout the life of a project.


Depending on the project’s scope and sector, our regulatory consulting services may include:

  • Conducting regulatory audits to assess compliance readiness
  • Preparing and submitting required permits, filings, and documentation
  • Developing clear, actionable compliance policies and procedures
  • Delivering training to staff and stakeholders on regulatory obligations


From environmental compliance to industry-specific regulations, we offer practical guidance rooted in real-world experience—ensuring our clients can focus on delivering their projects, while we ensure the work stays within the lines.
