Real outcomes across life sciences compliance and enterprise IT — from GxP data integrity and real-time release to cloud modernization and Zero-Trust security.

Closed GxP data-integrity gaps across a pharma QC lab — zero audit findings

Challenge

Pre-inspection audits exposed critical data-integrity vulnerabilities across stand-alone HPLC and GC workstations: shared local admin accounts, unencrypted raw audit trails, and no automated review triggers — risking FDA 483s or OAI status under 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11.

What We Did

Centralized isolated instruments into a networked Empower CDS with Active Directory role-based access, removing local admin rights
Built automated audit-trail review dashboards flagging manual integrations, aborted runs and SST failures
Ran end-to-end CSV under GAMP 5 (URS, FS, RTM, IQ/OQ/PQ)
Configured tamper-evident, write-once backups for raw chromatograms and metadata

Results

Zerodata-integrity findings in later FDA & MHRA cGMP audits

70%less audit-trail review per batch (5 days → 36 hrs disposition)

100%unauthorized manual integrations eliminated

Real-time PAT cut batch time 40% and OOS investigations 85%

Challenge

Variable tablet dissolution and intermittent blend-uniformity failures drove off-spec rejections and long OOS/CAPA investigations. In-process control relied on intrusive thief sampling and offline Karl Fischer moisture testing — up to 8 hours per run, with sampling bias.

What We Did

Installed and qualified in-line NIR probes in the fluid-bed dryer and tablet-press feed frame for real-time moisture and content uniformity
Developed and validated PLS chemometric models per ICH Q2(R2) and Q13
Linked model outputs to the SCADA/PLC (Allen-Bradley / Siemens PCS 7) to auto-terminate drying at target moisture
Automated Critical Process Parameter tracking against the site CMC filing

Results

40%reduction in total batch processing time

85%fewer OOS investigations (~$680K/yr scrap prevented)

Re-architected a monolith into microservices — 68% faster APIs, zero-downtime releases

Challenge

A multi-regional supply-chain platform ran on a monolithic backend with API latency over 1.2s under load, caused by coupled SQL databases, plus production downtime during every bi-weekly release.

What We Did

Decomposed the monolith into Go and Node.js microservices on AWS EKS (Kubernetes)
Built an event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka for real-time order processing
Configured Kong API Gateway with rate limiting, SSL termination and Prometheus/Grafana observability
Set up GitHub Actions CI/CD with canary releases and automated rollback

Results

68%faster average API response (1,200ms → 380ms)

99.99%availability across peak inventory windows

Enterprise IT · Cybersecurity

Zero-Trust rollout cut the internal attack surface 82%

Challenge

Permanent hybrid work expanded the attack surface across unmanaged laptops, while a legacy site-to-site VPN created bottlenecks and allowed lateral movement and data-leak risk.

What We Did

Replaced perimeter VPNs with Cloudflare Zero Trust and identity-aware access tied to SSO
Enforced device-posture checks and adaptive MFA via Okta
Consolidated logs and endpoint telemetry into a cloud-native Splunk SIEM with automated playbooks
Restructured least-privilege RBAC across AWS IAM and Google Workspace

Results

82%smaller internal attack surface / lateral-movement paths

75%faster mean time to detect (MTTD) bad logins
