Brian Lasky Cloud Architect | Senior SRE
Agentic AI Infrastructure · Fiscal SecOps · Multi-Cloud DR
I transform uncontrolled agentic autonomy into audit-ready, policy-driven financial clearing systems. Specializing in high-stakes infrastructure that balances AI innovation with rigorous operational reliability.
Infrastructure-as-Code: Provisioned via Terraform and governed by GitHub Actions.
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 cloud architecture 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 the initial architectural blueprinting and systems design phase, believing the most critical engineering happens before a single line of code is written.
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 Architectural Projects
Agentic Governance Controller
Fiscal SecOps Middleware for Autonomous AI
Challenge
Autonomous AI lacks native fiscal circuit breakers, risking 'token runaway'.
Solution
Architected a proxy enforcing fail-closed budget gating via atomic state.
Impact
Eliminated race conditions, securing $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.
