Featured launch
New · July 2026AI governance for modern teams
Your team should use AI — on your terms. GovernKit centralizes AI tool requests, reviews, and approvals in one documented place, so decisions stop living in scattered Slack threads and email chains.
Structured requests. Employees ask for AI tools in a two-minute form instead of ad-hoc messages.
Automated vendor vetting. Privacy policies and terms analyzed with risk ratings and verbatim citations.
AI-drafted policies. Generate workplace AI policies and track acknowledgments across employees and contractors.
Audit-ready by default. Every decision documented, with dashboards for tool status, risk, and AI spend.

I'm a Python developer with 10+ years of hands-on experience and 5+ years building high-throughput, globally distributed data APIs. I specialize in harvesting and structuring public web data at scale for AI training and analytics, with deep expertise in designing resilient scraping pipelines and data processing systems.
My toolbox spans LLMs, Kubernetes, DevOps, Git, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, and Unix systems, and I'm comfortable taking products from prototype to production, optimizing for performance, reliability, and cost along the way.
