9. Synthetic Data Governance for AI: Proving Data Provenance
TL;DR Synthetic data governance for AI comes down to one question: can you prove the data your model saw is the data your generator produced? The question…
8. Data Engineering for AI Agents: Pipelines, Real-Time Sync, and Vector Search
TL;DR Getting a data pipeline right is one job. Data engineering for AI agents is a different job. The agent has to actually consume that pipeline’s output,…
10. Model Risk, Agentic Risk Management, and the Observability Gap
Model Risk, Agentic Risk Management, and the Observability Gap TL;DR We govern our five-agent lending platform in three ways: review scoring models, set limits on what agents…
7. Building Real Human-in-the-Loop with LangGraph Checkpointing
TL;DR A review queue with a button looks like human oversight. It isn’t — the automated decision has already taken effect by the time anyone opens that…
6. Compliance Infrastructure: Audit Trails, Policy-as-Code, and the Append-Only Principle
TL;DR We built three pieces of audit trail architecture for a regulated AI platform: a transactional outbox so an audit event can’t be silently lost between Postgres…
5. Red-Teaming AI: OWASP LLM Top 10 and the Probes You Actually Need
TL;DR We had heard of the OWASP LLM Top 10, and we had implemented fewer than half of it. We had PyRIT installed, and we had almost…
4. Securing Agentic AI: Authentication, Authorization, and PII
TL;DR Our five-agent banking AI platform had OPA wired into exactly one agent. The MCP server had no auth middleware. All five agents shared one API key….
3. The 57-Gap Audit — What “Done” Actually Means in Production AI
TL;DR After weeks of building a multi-agent AI platform — five agents, full pipeline, red-team harness, control UI — the system looked done. It wasn’t. A config…
2. The Engineering Platform: Orchestration, Monorepo, and the Stack Decisions
TL;DR Once you decide to build a multi-agent AI system, you face three engineering choices that will determine whether the platform is governable or just functional: what…
17. Seventeen Parts Later: Lessons From Building an Agentic Data Platform
📌 TL;DR Seventeen articles. Seventeen components. One platform that generates, governs, and serves financial data through a network of coordinated AI agents. This final article reflects on…
