Sovereign AI assistants

A self-hosted code assistant, a documentation assistant and document AI, with no data leaving the company.

RolePrincipal Solutions Architect, Cloud & AI

The problem

Developers and analysts wanted AI help, but the data could not leave the company’s own infrastructure.

What I did

  • A sovereign code assistant, self-hosted in the cloud or on premises, built on open models and integrated into VS Code.
  • A documentation assistant (RAG) with hybrid search, conversation memory and context that adapts to the question.
  • Document AI combining OCR, computer vision and generative AI to digitize complex documents.
  • Deployed on Kubernetes across AWS and Azure, tuned for performance, security and scale.
