I build automation-first platforms and edge/web ingress systems that survive production reality — and I now do the same for enterprise AI platforms: governed foundation models, agentic systems, and the architecture that holds them together. Applied security is one arena of the same problem: systems under pressure, adversarial inputs, and messy constraints.

• Enterprise Solution Architect — AI Platforms & Agentic AI at Helvetia Baloise Group
• Founder of Archipelag.io
• Based in Basel, Switzerland
• Writing: https://raskell.io
• Speaking: talks and slides

• Enterprise AI platforms (model gateways, agent orchestration, context/memory/tool-use architecture)
• AI governance at scale (security, observability, compliance, auditability, adoption roadmaps)
• Platform automation (workflows, guardrails, self-service, operability)
• Edge systems (reverse proxies, policy, observability, safe change)
• Applied security (signal > noise, pragmatic controls, incident-driven improvements)
• Preference: open standards and sustainable solutions over vendor lock-in

Flagship

• Zentinel zentinelproxy — Security-first reverse proxy on Cloudflare Pingora. 26 programmable security agents (WAF, AI gateway, SPIFFE, content scanning, rate limiting), a pure Rust ModSecurity engine with OWASP CRS support, agent SDKs in 7 languages, and an Elixir/Phoenix control plane for fleet management.

• Basel Haskell Compiler (BHC) arcanist-sh — An alternative compiler for Haskell. Compatibility-first, with runtime profiles and a tensor-native numeric pipeline. Same language, more options. (Website · GitHub)
• hx arcanist-sh — Haskell, finally fast. One opinionated, batteries-included toolchain — package manager, project manager, and build tool in a single Rust binary. (Website · GitHub)
• Cyanea cyanea-bio — Bioinformatics platform built with Phoenix/Elixir and Rust NIFs. Think GitHub for life science and R&D. Tools to accelerate genomic research through fast, collaborative data infrastructure. (Website · GitHub · Labs)
• Archipelag.io archipelag-io — Distributed compute, locally powered. Edge infrastructure workloads from GPU nodes to mobile devices. (Website · Agent)
• Humankind. humankind-plus — Human continuity platform for preserving presence across generations through voice, stories, memories, values, and relational warmth, with consent first and privacy by default. (Website)

Labs

• Kurumi — A local-first second brain. Your ideas, everywhere, offline.
• Manabi — 学 Local-first, reading-first language-learning PWA for Chinese, Japanese, and Hebrew. Multi-dimensional spaced repetition, on-device TTS, record-and-compare.
• Vela — No-downtime app deployment on bare metal. One binary. No containers.
• Refrakt — Convention-first web framework for Gleam. Productive like Phoenix, explicit like Gleam, composable with Wisp and Lustre.
• Conflux — Schema-aware config state coordination. Multiple writers, deterministic merge, git milestones.

• broodwar.live broodwar-live — Community platform for StarCraft: Brood War competitive play. Rust replay parser with WASM and NIF bindings, Phoenix API, ML agent.
• Ushio — Deterministic edge traffic replay for understanding WAF and proxy behavior. HAR support, URL rewriting, behavioral diff.
• Sango — Operator-grade edge diagnostics CLI: TLS, HTTP/3, security headers, WAF signals. (GitHub)
• Tanuki — タヌキ An opinionated Zola theme.
• Learn You the Web — An e-book explaining HTTP, DNS, TLS, and the protocols that hold the web together. (GitHub)
• The Agent Platform Handbook — Reference agent built post-by-post alongside the series at raskell.io.
