Ivan has driven integration of AI tooling into operations, linking Python RAG solutions with Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Ollama to accelerate IT ticket troubleshooting, and he’s led teams through CI/CD and infrastructure best practices. His background spans vulnerability research, SDN/crypto prototypes with post-quantum-aware approaches, and custom analytics for OSINT and MITRE STIX/TAXII frameworks.
