DataNivra — Enterprise Test Data Management, now GA

As Chief AI/Data Architect at DataNivra, I designed and built an enterprise-grade Test Data Management (TDM) platform that has grown from a single enterprise deployment into a generally available, self-service product with a React-based front end. A customer-resident agent performs all discovery, masking, and synthesis inside the customer's own security boundary — only control metadata and policy evidence reach the DataNivra cloud, never raw data rows or secrets — which is what makes it suitable for hospitals and health systems, tax and auditing firms, banks, and insurers working with PHI, PII, and other regulated data. The platform now ships Python and TypeScript SDKs, native CI/CD integrations (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, and more), and a local MCP adapter so AI coding and QA agents can request certified test data the same way a human or pipeline does.

The core DataNivra platform codebase remains private, but runnable examples, CI/CD recipes, and an MCP adapter for AI agents are public in the datanivra-examples repository (MIT-licensed). The SDKs and supporting tooling are now distributed as installable packages: datanivra-sdk, datanivra-cli, datanivra-mcp, and datanivra-contracts on PyPI (pip-installable), and @datanivra/sdk and @datanivra/contracts on npm.

ProxyView — Authentication for the Physical World, in production

As Chief AI Infrastructure Officer at Luca Inc., Delaware, USA (operating as ProxyView), I lead design and development of the Company's AI and machine-learning infrastructure — including the ORA (Operational Reality Authentication) Framework, which determines whether a submitted evidence bundle (photo and sensor capture, location, and timestamp) coherently represents a claimed physical event at a claimed place and time. The model is weighed against a global geospatial and environmental reference corpus — elevation, flood zones, structures, housing, and weather data — to produce a calibrated confidence score, delivered as a sealed, tamper-evident record via API and webhooks directly into claims adjudication, loan-origination, and collateral-monitoring workflows for insurance, commercial lending, and construction-finance clients.

ProxyView's platform and ORA Framework are proprietary to Luca Inc., Delaware, USA, and its codebase lives in a private repository — it isn't open source, so there's no public code link here.
