Core Systems Disciplines & Projects

SPEC-01 AI & DATA SUBSTRATE

Data Foundations for Agentic Access

Designing low-latency, zero-copy data ingestion pipelines and cost-governed compute architectures for ML training, feature stores, and agentic workflows.

  • Deterministic vs probabilistic data topology
  • High-throughput ingestion & vector data access architecture
  • Cost-effective GPU/Compute scheduling & autoscaling controls
  • Resilient streaming ETL pipelines with declarative telemetry
  • Eliminating bottleneck friction between data pipelines & infrastructure
SPEC-02 SECURITY & CRYPTOGRAPHY

Zero-Trust Cryptography Architecture

Direct authorial guidance on envelope encryption, KMS provider plugins, PKCS#11 hardware security modules (HSM), and automated secret lifecycles.

  • KMSv2 Provider implementation (HSM, SoftHSM, Vault modules)
  • Production secret rotation & envelope encryption hardening
  • Zero-trust control plane auditing & etcd attack surface mitigation
  • Sovereign cryptographic boundaries for regulated environments
SPEC-03 CLOUD-NATIVE RUNTIMES

Enterprise Platform Scale

Deep-tier infrastructure architecture proven on massive Kubernetes platforms, bare-metal clusters, and stateful storage engines.

  • Custom CSI storage driver design & POSIX filesystem tuning
  • Multi-cluster application interconnect & mesh isolation policies
  • High-density Kubernetes control plane performance tuning
  • Storage benchmarking & stateful data resilience under stress
SPEC-04 AI FACTORY ORCHESTRATION

AI Manufacturing Execution System (AIMES)

The orchestration layer for an AI software factory. Records each unit of work from specification to release for autonomous agents and humans, enforcing policy-driven quality gates and stopping knowledge drift.

  • Agent-to-system-of-record synchronization (eliminates specification drift)
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway & Connect/Protobuf RPC interfaces
  • CEL-based policy engine & gVisor sandboxed execution environments
  • Intent & output UAT review gates with token/compute spend tracking
