Principal Architect - Secure AI Platforms & Data Governance
As a Principal Architect specializing in AI data governance and secure systems, I engineered enterprise-level architectures that protect data confidentiality and enforce strict access controls across machine learning environments. I designed comprehensive cloud security infrastructures incorporating Zero Trust Architecture, fine-grained Identity and Access Management (IAM), and role-based access controls to secure sensitive training datasets and minimize attack surfaces. To ensure ethical data sourcing and strict regulatory compliance, I coordinated the integration of secure data pipelines that adhere to stringent frameworks including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. I led the deployment of automated compliance monitoring, encrypted communications, and audit trails across complex data stores using AWS EKS, Lambda, and HashiCorp Vault. Additionally, I provided technical mentorship on secure coding and guided leadership through comprehensive risk assessments to validate data integrity across transformer-based NLP and advanced machine learning infrastructure.
