Brian Lasky Senior Platform Engineer | SRE
Agentic AI Infrastructure · Fiscal SecOps · Multi-Cloud DR
I build and deploy audit-ready, policy-driven infrastructure to secure autonomous agentic workloads. Specializing in high-stakes infrastructure that balances AI innovation with rigorous operational reliability.
Policy-as-Code: Enforced via OPA Gatekeeper and governed by Fiscal SecOps.
Bridging Industrial Reliability with Cloud-Native Architecture
Agentic AI Infrastructure
Design and deploy autonomous cloud ecosystems with decoupled governance to safely scale AI workloads.
Fiscal SecOps
Implement proactive fiscal guardrails and atomic state operations to prevent AI token runaway.
Multi-Cloud Resilience
Architect zero-trust disaster recovery models that guarantee business continuity across AWS and GCP.
My approach to platform engineering is fundamentally different from traditional software engineering. It is rooted in 17+ years of physical production operations and over 125 regulatory-grade incident investigations. I spent my early career managing safety-critical, high-pressure equipment where downtime wasn't just an inconvenience—it was a critical failure.
Today, I bring that exact same industrial incident command discipline to distributed systems. I specialize in translating strict reliability requirements into robust, automated infrastructure. I don’t just blueprint systems; I build, deploy, and maintain the code that keeps them running safely at scale.
Whether I am decoupling business logic from governance to prevent AI "token runaway," or designing zero-trust multi-cloud failovers, my goal is to build systems that isolate blast radiuses, protect enterprise budgets, and fail safely.

Flagship Engineering Projects
Agentic Governance Controller
Zero-Trust Fiscal SecOps for Autonomous AI
Challenge
Ungoverned AI agents pose catastrophic financial risks and rely on vulnerable static credentials.
Solution
Architected an ambient identity control plane bridging GKE and IAM, eradicating static secrets.
Impact
Mathematically bounded compute footprint to $0.00 and secured $250k+ in API budget exposure.
NorthStar Multi-Cloud DR
Active-passive resilience across AWS & GCP
Challenge
Mitigating the 'Disaster Recovery Gap' and manual secret rotation.
Solution
Declarative state management with keyless Workload Identity Federation.
Impact
Targeted 0s RTO and 1s RPO without exposing static credentials.
The Tombstone Protocol
Automated Crash Forensics & Telemetry
Challenge
Pod termination during P0 events destroys critical root-cause data.
Solution
Sever network intent via policy while preserving local memory state.
Impact
Ensured regulatory-grade forensic audits for AI hallucinations.
Architecture
Serverless portfolio infrastructure on AWS
Frontend
Next.js 16 with Turbopack. TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, React hooks with hydration-safe rendering.
API Layer
API Gateway (4wuinyvkr0) routes POST /contact to Lambda with CORS and OPTIONS preflight support.
Lambda uses AWS SDK v3 SendEmailCommand via SES. Verified domain and recipient. 0% bounce rate.
