Building AI-powered tools & platforms that secure the enterprise

Platforms I've Built

DataCraft
Enterprise data intelligence platform built at Tesla. Databricks-like lakehouse architecture running Apache Spark on Kubernetes with integrated secret management, RBAC, and data governance. Powers security analytics, threat detection pipelines, and centralized security data lake across the organization.
Spark • Kubernetes • Secret Mgmt • RBAC • Data Lake
Threat Intelligence Center
Centralized threat intelligence platform built at Tesla for proactive threat detection, IOC correlation, and automated incident response across cloud and on-premises environments. Aggregates feeds from multiple intel sources, enriches alerts with context, and drives real-time security operations.
Threat Feeds • IOC Correlation • SIEM • Incident Response • Real-time
AI Helpdesk Platform
Enterprise-grade, self-service AI helpdesk platform built at Tesla. Organizations configure their own integrations (email, Slack, ticketing systems) and plug in knowledge sources (Confluence, SharePoint, policy docs, mailboxes). The platform ingests, indexes, and learns from these sources using LLMs to autopilot tier-1 support — auto-classifying tickets, drafting contextual responses, and escalating intelligently. Designed as a multi-tenant platform with admin console for managing integrations, knowledge pipelines, and response tuning.
LLMs • Multi-Tenant • Configurable Integrations • Knowledge Pipelines • Admin Console
Security & Compliance Posture Platform
Enterprise IT and OT security posture management platform built at Tesla. Provides 24/7 continuous monitoring across cloud (AWS, Azure), on-premises IT infrastructure, and operational technology (OT) environments. Automated policy evaluation, drift detection, and one-click remediation. Unified compliance tracking against CIS benchmarks, SOC 2, NIST, and internal security standards — giving leadership a single pane of glass into the organization's security posture.
IT/OT Security • CSPM • NIST • CIS • SOC 2 • Posture Management
AI Agents Platform
Enterprise AI agents platform built at Tesla, powered by Graph RAG architecture. Constructs knowledge graphs from security data lake, vulnerability scans, asset inventories, and remediation playbooks — capturing entity relationships (services → vulnerabilities → owners → remediation steps) for richer, context-aware retrieval. Autonomous agents traverse the graph to reason over multi-hop queries, auto-triage security findings, generate fix recommendations, and orchestrate remediation workflows. Enables application teams to resolve security issues through natural language — shifting security left at developer speed.
Graph RAG • Knowledge Graphs • AI Agents • LLMs • Security Data Lake • Shift-Left
