Security-first AI platform engineering & RAG
CodeWheel AI is a security-first AI consulting practice led by a 15+ year senior engineer. I design and build production-grade AI platforms - RAG systems, agent workflows, vector search, and multi-tenant SaaS architectures - with penetration testing and threat modeling built in from day one.
I work directly with founders, CTOs, and engineering teams who need reliable AI features, hardened infrastructure, and a clean architecture that scales with no hidden technical debt. My background spans full-stack engineering, DevSecOps, Rails/Next.js modernization, and AI platform design on Vercel, Astro, and modern cloud environments.
Clients bring me in when they need:
-
Secure RAG pipelines that retrieve the right data
-
Agent workflows that don’t collapse under branching
-
Multi-tenant SaaS with strong isolation
-
Penetration testing + AI security reviews
-
Modernization of Rails/Drupal systems
-
End-to-end platform development with clear execution
The goal is simple: help teams ship faster, safer, and more predictably - with AI systems they can trust.
