What I actually build.

We build AI for environments where "the model was confident" is not a defense. It runs inside the customer’s own infrastructure, including fully air-gapped, and the customer owns the models and the weights. In production at six of the top-20 U.S. banks, with more than ten hedge funds and more than ten registered investment advisers as clients, and deployments for defense, intelligence and regulatory agencies, including fully air-gapped environments. Incorporation to seven-figure revenue in eight months.

• Bank ratings & regulatory intelligence

  EAGLES2 is an independent, outside-in rating on every FDIC-insured bank, every quarter, built from public data. Not a supervisory rating. Bank Assay maps the federal and state obligations a bank carries and scores the gaps against its policies and controls. Monui runs FFIEC call reports for trust banks.

• Financial-crime compliance

  AutoCEN runs financial-crime compliance inside the bank’s own infrastructure: transaction monitoring, sanctions and crypto screening, KYC/KYB, case management, and SAR and CTR filing.

• Asset management

  Skyra for portfolio intelligence, Fiducium for tracking external investment managers, and Kelda for unified market data with provenance for every number.

• Defense, government & critical infrastructure

  Legate keeps a live, evidence-linked model of an operating world and records every decision made about it. Stellara screens every object in low Earth orbit for threats. Skybird handles person detection and tracking on video.

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?

Sovereign, deterministic AI for regulated industries — banks, asset managers, and defense, intelligence and regulatory agencies. Everything runs on two platforms, Kundi (deterministic analysis) and Limni (governance and interface), with applications on top: EAGLES2, an independent rating on every FDIC-insured bank (not a supervisory rating); Bank Assay for bank regulatory obligations; AutoCEN for financial-crime compliance; Legate for operational intelligence; Stellara for space threat synthesis; and more. 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.

What are the Frontier Foundry platforms and applications?

Two platforms: Kundi (deterministic analysis) and Limni (governance and interface). Applications built on them: EAGLES2, Bank Assay, AutoCEN, Monui, Skyra, Fiducium, Kelda, Legate, Stellara, Skybird and CyberAudit. Each runs inside the customer’s own infrastructure.
