Visual AI and data platform
Project Hafnia
A regulation-compliant platform that turned video data into governed material for visual AI model development. I served as the primary cloud architecture authority from concept through production deployment.

The challenge
Visual AI development needs large, well-described datasets. Video also carries significant privacy, security, and regulatory obligations. The platform had to support ingestion, preparation, annotation, governance, and model training without treating those obligations as a later concern.
The visible data pipeline sat on a cross-cutting cloud foundation: multi-account governance, access controls, encryption, monitoring, and cost visibility.

A governed path from video to model training
Architecture contribution
- End-to-end ownership: target architecture and decisions from concept through production.
- Governed data: controls were designed into ingestion, storage, annotation, and training flows.
- Platform foundation: Organizations, Control Tower, IAM, KMS, and CloudWatch supported the workload.
- Cross-organization design: architecture aligned the collaboration and its operating boundaries.
