Innovation — AI · AIOps · blockchain · quantum

Applied innovation — AI delivery, AIOps, blockchain and quantum strategy — moved from PoC to production under governed SDLC. Most recent anchor: CyberPro AI-driven cybersecurity platform at IBM Innovation Center, +53% improvement and 1,750+ hours saved.

Mandate type

Innovation work scoped to actually ship: PoC → MVP → production under governed SDLC, with IAM, data-protection and audit guardrails set from day one. Quantum-readiness advisory available for sovereign / regulated institutions, including Middle East engagements.

Anchor reference

IBM Innovation Center — CyberPro: AI-driven SIEM/SOAR/EDR/DLP correlation platform. +53% improvement, 1,750+ hours saved. PIR2-IT — DLT eGovernment Single Point of Trust + mission-grade AI (sensor fusion, UAS) + Romanian MoE AI engine. Blockchain engine sold to IBM (2015–2019).

What I do

Four offers recur on innovation work. All structured so the output ends up in production, not in a slide deck.

  • AI / AIOps delivery. AI for security correlation, IT-ops automation and natural-language interfaces. CyberPro (IBM IC) and Romanian Ministry of Energy AI engine + energy-system modelling platform in production.
  • Blockchain / DLT for institutions. Permissioned DLT for sovereign workflows. Single Point of Trust (PIR2-IT). Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, Corda. eGovernment blockchain engine sold to IBM in 2019.
  • Quantum strategy advisory. Quantum-readiness for regulated and sovereign institutions, including Middle East mandates. Post-quantum cryptography migration planning.
  • Mission-grade AI (defence-adjacent). Computer vision + radar-camera sensor fusion, AI-enabled UAS demonstrator, edge deployment with confidence scoring and audit-ready outputs.

Frameworks and standards applied

Methods are scoped, not decorative. Each mandate runs against a defined framework stack so decisions remain defensible to internal audit, external supervisors and donors.

  • AI / ML stack: Splunk · QRadar · Cortex XSOAR · IBM Resilient · CrowdStrike · Carbon Black · Defender for Endpoint · Symantec / MS Purview DLP
  • DLT platforms: Hyperledger Fabric · Hyperledger Besu · Quorum · Corda · Ethereum / Polygon / Avalanche
  • Smart-contract & cryptography: Solidity · Rust · Go · Vyper · PKI · HSM · Merkle / commitment schemes · ZKP awareness
  • Governance for innovation: Governed SDLC · DevSecOps · IAM / PAM guardrails · ISO 27001 · NIST 800-53 · GDPR · EU AI Act readiness
  • Delivery: PoC → MVP → production · MCDA · hypothesis testing · wargaming · experimentation

AI / AIOps for security & operations

Production AI, not slideware

AI for security correlation, incident automation and operational decisioning. Run under governed SDLC with explainability and audit trails.

Scope:
  • CyberPro — SIEM + SOAR + EDR + DLP correlation (IBM IC)
  • +53% improvement · 1,750+ hours saved
  • SOAR automation reducing MTTR by 52% (UNFCU)
  • AI / ML threat-hunting at UN OICT
Blockchain / DLT for institutions

Permissioned DLT for sovereign workflows

Single Point of Trust pattern: immutable evidence trails, accountable digital decision-making, traceable audit-ready outputs.

Scope:
  • PIR2-IT DLT eGovernment Single Point of Trust
  • Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, Corda; Solidity / Rust / Go chaincode
  • eGovernment blockchain engine sold to IBM (2015–2019)
  • UN blockchain community + strategy lead
Quantum strategy advisory

Post-quantum readiness for regulated estates

Quantum-readiness for sovereign and regulated institutions. Post-quantum cryptography migration, sensitivity mapping, transition roadmap.

Scope:
  • Quantum-readiness advisory — Middle East engagements
  • Post-quantum cryptography migration planning
  • PKI / HSM lifecycle for the post-quantum transition
  • Awareness of NIST PQC candidates and migration windows
Mission-grade AI (defence-adjacent)

Sensor fusion, UAS, edge AI under audit

AI platforms with confidence scoring, traceable outputs and audit-ready reporting in regulated environments.

Scope:
  • Computer vision + radar-camera sensor fusion
  • Modular AI-enabled UAS demonstrator (mothership / subsystem)
  • Edge deployment with confidence scoring
  • Romanian Ministry of Energy AI engine + energy-system modelling
