I love the challenges of solving problems at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and AI

Chris Grady

Infrastructure Security & AI Systems Engineer

Building trustworthy systems at the intersection of backup & DR, security tooling, and local AI governance. 13+ years of hands-on infrastructure depth — no quota, no vendor motion.

Metro Atlanta, GA
Looking for new challenges

My approach

I treat backup infrastructure as ground-truth memory and last-resort truth stores. This perspective shapes how I build security tooling and local AI systems that are auditable, resilient, and resistant to hallucination or data leakage by design.

The most valuable work happens at the intersections — not inside any single domain. Enforcement-layer design, not prompt-layer design.

An interactive view of the domains I operate across and the bridges between them.

PsyClaw

Offline-first RAG Agent

Active

Production-grade local AI gateway with LangGraph-enforced security policy, SHA-256 soul governance, triple-gated external fallback, and a hybrid ChromaDB/BM25 retrieval pipeline. Topology-enforced RAG-first — not prompt-based.

YARA Threat Scanner

Security Tooling / Detection

Active

PowerShell + YARA pipeline detecting ransomware C2 configs, .onion links, and payment portal signatures within Veeam Secure Restore contexts — applied threat detection from the DR side.

Veeam HealthCheck

Backup / DR Auditing

Active

PowerShell audit suite validating Veeam VBR job health, immutability posture, and repo capacity. Produces executive-ready HTML reports. Prevents backup failures during SCCM patch windows via proxy integration.

Roles I'm targeting

High-fit, non-quota, enterprise or vendor-of-record positions where the work is solving real problems.

Detection
Detection / Security Automation Engineer
YARA + Sentinel + PowerShell trifecta maps directly — Secureworks, Mandiant, NCR, FSI internal
Infra
Senior / Staff Infrastructure Engineer
13yr multi-hypervisor, SAN, DR, WindowsLinux breadth — banks, healthcare, logistics, gov contractors
AI
AI / LLM Platform Engineer
PsyClaw's LangGraph/RAG/FastAPI/MCP stack is exactly what enterprises are trying to staff right now
Cloud
Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Azure)
Production-depth Sentinel, Entra ID, Azure Backup, M365 — immediately billable to enterprise cloud ops
Security
Backup / DR Architect (Enterprise Internal)
Low-competition specialization — large FSI, healthcare, utilities internal teams, zero quota pressure
AI-Sec
AI Security Engineer
PsyClaw's prompt injection filter + audit logging + enforcement topology = rare proof-of-work for this emerging role

Let's build something reliable
