What I do

Three ways I help

Agentic AI

Always-on multi-agent systems with capability-scoped guardrails, zero-trust isolation, and multi-model orchestration governed under NIST AI RMF.

  • Multi-agent orchestration (Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI)
  • PII-egress controls & prompt-injection defense
  • AI governance and deterministic guardrails

Cloud Security

Zero-trust architecture across GCP, AWS, and Azure — RBAC, WAF, encryption, and NIST 800-53 / FedRAMP-aligned defense in depth.

  • Zero-trust networks & least-privilege IAM
  • Cloud Armor WAF + OWASP Top 10 controls
  • AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit

Private Infrastructure

Self-hosted, sovereign deployments with egress control and private inference — sensitive data and model traffic never leave your environment.

  • Self-hosted LLM inference pipelines
  • VPC firewalls, Cloud NAT, egress control
  • On-prem and hybrid sovereign hosting
