AI-Secure Infrastructure Leadership

Orchestrating cyber-resilient platforms and private AI ecosystems.

I’m Jaymit Gajjar, a Calgary-based infrastructure and cybersecurity leader who has spent 14+ years hardening mission-critical operations — from international airports to enterprise cloud estates. Today I help organisations fuse AI innovation with zero-trust architecture, building private ChatGPT-style assistants that stay compliant and defensible.

  • Architected hybrid cloud landing zones that blend AWS, Azure, and on-premise workloads under unified guardrails.
  • Operationalised SOC, SIEM, IAM, and MDR programmes while coaching teams to outpace attackers.
  • Delivered on-premise AI platforms so teams can ideate quickly without exposing regulated data.
