I help regulated enterprises ship LLM systems that pass audit.
Healthcare, financial services, aviation, federal compliance — and any domain where AI failure is expensive. I architect the governance layer, evals, and infrastructure that make production GenAI trustworthy at scale.

Three ways teams work with me
The wedge is healthcare-grade governance. The patterns — multi-tenant LLM gateways, audit-defensible evals, risk registers tied to controls, agent and RAG observability — transfer cleanly to financial services, aviation, federal, and any enterprise where AI sits in front of a regulator, a P&L, or a customer who can sue.
Compliance-blocked AI launches
You've built a GenAI product and legal, security, or compliance is blocking the ship. I architect the governance layer — risk register mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 controls, HIPAA/HITECH PHI handling, EU AI Act Article 9–15 conformity — and the eval suite that lets you defend the decisions.
LLM systems that scale & stay safe
RAG that hallucinates in production. Agents that loop. Costs that won't predict. Evals that don't catch regressions. I redesign the system end-to-end — gateway, retrieval, prompt strategy, eval pipeline, observability — so it runs at audit-friendly scale.
Fractional AI architect / advisor
Pre-Series-B startup or mid-market enterprise that needs senior AI leadership without a full-time hire. I sit in your weekly architecture review, vet vendor decisions, mentor your ML/AI team, and own the AI risk posture for your board.

ClarisMD
clarismd.com · Self-funded, solo-built · Live in production
A healthcare AI governance platform that secures and governs enterprise interactions with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and AWS Bedrock through a unified LLM gateway. I built it because the controls my consulting clients kept asking for didn't exist as a packaged product.
What it does
- Multi-provider LLM gateway: tenant isolation, encrypted key management, semantic caching, rate limiting, cost attribution, budget controls.
- Healthcare-grade safety: PHI/PII detection & redaction, prompt-injection defense, toxicity validation, constitutional-AI evaluation, automated red teaming.
- Governance for RAG & agents: hallucination detection, retrieval monitoring, agent-loop detection, memory governance, audit-ready evidence generation.
- Controls mapped to 17+ frameworks: HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, SOC 2, FDA SaMD AI/ML, ONC HTI.
- Enterprise infra: RBAC, MFA, audit trails, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, automated CI/CD.
Why it matters for clients
ClarisMD is proof I've operationalized these frameworks end-to-end — not just read the PDFs. When you hire me to architect your governance layer, I bring the same patterns I've already shipped, debugged, and stress-tested in a production product.
The full toolkit I bring to an engagement
Governance is where I lead, but it sits on top of a decade of hands-on ML. Every technique below is one I’ve shipped in production — across agents, retrieval, classical ML, vision, and speech — not a syllabus.

Field notes from production GenAI
I write about LLM systems design, AI governance in regulated industries, and what actually breaks in production GenAI. Pieces in progress:
- What HIPAA actually requires from your LLM gateway
- Why your RAG eval pipeline is lying to you
- EU AI Act Article 9 in practice for healthcare AI
AI architect, Bengaluru — working across timezones
Six years in production AI: started as an MLE shipping NLP and computer-vision systems (US Tech Solutions, CRMNext), spent 2.5 years scaling regulated-industry RAG at 4CRisk.ai, and now run consulting engagements alongside building ClarisMD.
Most enterprise AI projects don't fail on the model — they fail on governance, eval discipline, and the boring infrastructure that makes the model trustworthy at scale. That's the part I'm good at.
Outside enterprise work, I co-founded Rigetnest Innovation Labs, advising early-stage AI product teams.

Let's scope your engagement
I take a small number of new engagements each quarter. The fastest path is a short email — tell me, in 4–5 lines:
- What you're building (or trying to ship).
- What's blocking you — compliance, scale, evals, hiring, vendor decision.
- Your timeline.
- Whether you need a 4-week sprint, a build engagement, or fractional advisory.
I reply within 48 hours on weekdays. If we're a fit, we'll do a 30-minute scoping call.
