Tactical Scale helps financial institutions, insurers, and global enterprises recover critical-path programmes, pass regulatory audits, and deploy production multi-agent AI architectures without Big-4 overhead.
Principal Track Record Across Regulated Global Sectors (NDA-Compliant)
Expensive strategy decks handed off to junior analysts who lack hands-on cloud security, DevSecOps, or production AI engineering capability.
Rapid prototypes that fail enterprise stage-gates, regulatory compliance audits, SteerCo scrutiny, and multi-vendor cutover rigour.
Direct execution by a 14+ year BFSI Programme Leader & Certified Cloud/AI Architect—combining boardroom RAID control with working software.
Stabilising complex, multi-vendor IT transformations, core insurance/banking platform migrations, and high-pressure audit remediations.
Moving beyond basic chatbots to deploy governed multi-agent loops, edge-sanitized compliance auditors, and automated PMO intelligence.
Global cloud readiness assessments, right-sized capacity modelling, third-party API portals, and zero-downtime infrastructure cutovers.

Chaired weekly executive risk forums with Senior Operations and Risk Directors. Directed multi-path remediation across hundreds of end-of-life servers, firewall rule hardening, and vendor security controls to clear stringent regulatory audit milestones.
Recovered a high-visibility Life & General Insurance claims transformation (4 workstreams, 40+ specialists, 1.5M+ policy records). Introduced DevSecOps and pre-production staging, migrated core workloads to Azure, launched co-branded bancassurance API portals, and integrated customer mobile apps with CRM workflows.
Led a global Azure readiness and right-sizing assessment spanning 65 offices and 6 cloud regions, evaluating 1,000+ servers to build target-state capacity models and commercial migration business cases.
Managed the regional migration of enterprise actuarial modelling platforms to Microsoft Azure across 18 markets, aligning actuarial, risk, legal, and IT teams. Separately delivered a 4,600-user mission-critical VDI deployment with a verified 20-minute disaster recovery failover.
Multi-agent compliance auditing and cross-jurisdiction regulatory mapping utilizing edge PII sanitization, Gemini orchestration, SHA-256 caching, MongoDB Atlas, and Google Cloud Run.
Automated requirement-to-sequence-diagram synthesis, PMBOK/APM artifact benchmarking, SRE-style workforce burnout modelling, and zero-touch Jira/Slack workflow orchestration.
Low-latency bidirectional voice streaming with Voice Activity Detection via Gemini Live, paired with serverless video intelligence and parallel claim verification pipelines.
Independent health-check of stalled programmes, cloud migration TCO, or AI governance readiness with an actionable SteerCo recovery pack.
Request Scope TemplateRapid architecture and deployment of a governed multi-agent workflow, RegTech compliance pipeline, or automated PMO reporting engine.
