Description

Transition CTO | Sovereign Cybersecurity & AI for Regulated Sectors | Ex-Co-founder DC3 (DoD)

30 years spent securing and building critical infrastructures from the US Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3, 1997-2004) to today's real-world AI platforms (150K+ users/month). I don't theorize cybersecurity or AI: I've been deploying them in production for three decades, across four continents.

Missions I undertake:

Flash audits & crisis CTO (2 to 10 days), technical and security diagnostics, AI governance, pre-acquisition due diligence. For investment funds, family offices, law firms, notaries, SMEs in transition.

Cybersecurity & compliance:

SIEM/SOC (Splunk, FortiSIEM, SolarWinds), API pentest (Burp Suite Pro, sqlmap, jwt_tool), OWASP API/LLM Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK/ATLAS. Directly relevant for NIS2, DORA, and the security requirements of regulated entities.

On-premise sovereign AI: LLM deployment (Claude, GPT, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen) in a closed environment, GDPR & EU AI Act compliance, for professions that cannot send their data to the cloud.

Concrete milestones: operational co-founder of DC3 (DoD, now dc3.mil) · 1,000+ servers administered at Genetec (largest Azure account in Canada at the time) · technical management of regulated MGA iGaming platforms in Malta · AI platforms in production, 150K+ users/month.

Mobilization within 48 hours. Based in Nice, missions on the French Riviera, Monaco, on-site.
