Building and leading the platform and security teams at a confidential computing company, and bringing secure ML workloads to NVIDIA H100 GPUs.

The teams

Two teams, nine engineers, which I built from team formation through to delivery. Platform and security, on AWS, Azure and private cloud, mostly in Rust.

A first for the company

We introduced confidential computing on NVIDIA H100 GPUs. It lets customers in regulated environments run ML workloads securely.

Through architectural optimisation and hardware-accelerated encryption, secure ML workloads ran up to 200 times faster.

Beyond the product

I standardised cloud infrastructure practices across AWS and Azure, which improved scalability and operational resilience. I also championed an open-source collaboration strategy that raised the engineering organisation's technical profile.
