What I actually build.

We build AI platforms for environments where "the model was confident" is not a defense. Financial services. Life sciences. U.S. federal law enforcement. Incorporation to seven-figure revenue in eight months, multiple production platforms shipping — Kundi, Limni, Stellara — against serious customers with serious auditors.

• Banking & AML compliance AI

  Deterministic, auditable AI systems for anti-money-laundering, sanctions screening, BSA compliance, and supervisory reporting. Built to survive SR 11-7 model-risk reviews and OCC examinations.

• Federal law enforcement data fusion

  Secured AI for U.S. federal law enforcement environments. Kundi and Limni serve mission-critical fusion, search, and triage workloads.

• Healthcare & life-sciences AI

  Clinical-grade knowledge systems for life-sciences research and operations. HIPAA-aware, GxP-aligned, and designed for the people who actually read the audit logs.

Virtova is a boutique consulting practice for senior leaders trying to land AI inside regulated balance sheets — banking, insurance, healthcare, defense, energy, and the federal government. The work runs from board-level strategy to examiner-ready implementation: AI readiness, vendor and model diligence, supervisory and model-risk posture, post-quantum and cybersecurity overlays, and the occasional bet-the-franchise decision where "the model was confident" has to survive a lawyer, a regulator, and a CFO in the same room.

Private-equity and strategics still make up a chunk of the book — they bought a company with "AI" on the tin and want to know what's actually inside. That work continues. It just isn't the headline anymore.

• Global Private Equity

  Full-lifecycle PE technology support

  Partner across the full PE lifecycle — sourcing support, technical due diligence, post-close integration, fractional CIO/CTO coverage, value-creation planning, and exit readiness — for multi-billion-dollar funds and their portfolio companies.

• Life Sciences

  Clinical bioinformatics platform to market

  Led the productization and commercialization of a cloud-based clinical bioinformatics platform — partnered with leading research institutes and a national regulator to move advanced genome-analysis tooling from the lab into clinical use across four countries.

• Global Payments

  Innovation function: unified UX, faster delivery

  Stood up an innovation function focused on unifying customer interfaces, shortening development cycles, and retiring legacy technologies — enabling the organization to ship and decide at modern speed.

• Deep-Tech Hardware

  Sub-$10 semiconductor ultrasonic sensor to market

  Helped focus and bring to market the first sub-$10 semiconductor-based ultrasonic sensor platform — narrowing product scope, sharpening go-to-market, and unlocking the commercial channel.

Named engagements from earlier in the arc: engineered the $900M acquisition of Ipower/Endurance by Accel/KKR (became a $3.5B public company), led the Appistry pivot into clinical bioinformatics with the Broad Institute and FDA, and built the equities technology group at ABN AMRO that powered over 40% of NYSE traffic.

Common questions.

What does Frontier Foundry build?

Secured, deterministic AI platforms for regulated industries — financial services, life sciences, and U.S. federal law enforcement. Production platforms include Kundi (regulated-industry knowledge systems), Limni (specialized inference for federal law enforcement), and Stellara (AI outer-space risk management for satellites, constellations, and critical infrastructure). Incorporation to seven-figure revenue in eight months.

What does Virtova do?

Boutique AI consulting for regulated industries — banking, insurance, healthcare, defense, energy, and the U.S. federal government. Every engagement is scoped and priced against a measurable outcome.

How does a Virtova engagement start?

Every engagement starts from a number on the page — the measurable outcome we're trying to move. Four steps: (1) Outcome — name the metric. (2) Baseline — two-week diagnostic. (3) Build — sprinted engagement with milestones. (4) Measure — report against the original number.
