Fractional CTO | Senior AI Platform & Security Architect

🚨 Stop overengineering your infrastructure. Scale and secure your platform seamlessly. Are you preparing to transition an advanced SaaS application, high-volume database, or AI model pipeline from an initial sandbox to a bulletproof, enterprise-ready production ecosystem? I am a Senior Platform & Identity Architect and Fractional CTO with 15+ years of distributed systems experience. I specialize in designing declarative, rock-solid "golden paths" that reduce developer friction while embedding absolute security, identity isolation, and cloud cost control directly into your delivery pipeline. Beyond contract consulting, I am an active systems builder. I am the creator of FoPost (an AI-native social distribution API & MCP server architecture) and a suite of infrastructure tooling platforms including RealmDeploy and HardenKit. I eat my own code daily in production. 🛠️ CORE STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS I DELIVER: • AI Infrastructure & MLOps Optimization: I orchestrate scalable, hardware-accelerated Kubernetes clusters and compute runtimes (vLLM, Triton, Ray) configured to handle heavy AI workloads without performance bottlenecks. • Perimeter Defense & Anti-Abuse: I design global validation boundaries, custom reverse proxies, and adaptive rate-limiting policies to safeguard costly model APIs from aggressive data scrapers, crawlers, and token-draining exploits. • Identity Architecture as Code: I automate enterprise multi-tenant access control, Single Sign-On (SSO), and secure cross-service token exchanges using Keycloak and OpenTofu/Terraform. • Legacy-to-Cloud Zero-Downtime Migrations: I safely lift heavy, monolithic architectures off legacy bare-metal servers into clean, automated containerized infrastructures with zero service interruption. High-growth scale-ups and technical leaders hire me when they cannot afford structural downtime, security loopholes, or skyrocketing cloud bills. Let's connect for an architectural evaluation or strategy consultation to build an unshakeable foundation for your technology stack.
