AI systems & AI governance — RAG architecture, permission-aware retrieval, agent workflows, evaluation datasets, and human approval gates for GenAI, RAG, and agentic systems. (https://arihantgv.com/capabilities/) 2. Enterprise architecture — target architectures, architecture decision records, reference patterns, and decision frameworks for complex technology estates. 3. Observability & telemetry — OpenTelemetry schemas, reusable collection paths, and failure-mode assessment for telemetry at institutional scale. 4. Cloud & platform engineering — cloud and Kubernetes architecture, infrastructure-as-code, internal platforms, and operational readiness. 5. Integration & application engineering — API and event-driven design, React and TypeScript engineering, and document workflows. 6. Advisory & reviews — independent technical reviews, vendor evaluation criteria, and delivery roadmaps for platform choices and modernization programs. ## Engagement models - Assess & decide — a focused assessment of an existing system, a proposed architecture, or an AI opportunity. Typical inputs: an existing system, a proposed architecture, or an AI opportunity. - Design & validate — turn the intended outcome into a target architecture and test the assumptions that could change it. Typical inputs: a clear direction with an unclear implementation path. - Build & integrate — implement a scoped platform, integration, or application capability alongside the client's delivery team. Typical inputs: a defined workstream and an existing delivery team. - Lead & strengthen — embed architecture leadership, design assurance, or specialized engineering into an agreed workstream. Typical inputs: an agreed workstream needing senior technical capacity. (https://arihantgv.com/engagements/) ## Government and public-sector posture Arihant supports public-sector and enterprise organizations where accessibility, security, governance, and procurement are part of the work. Engagements can be shaped for direct consulting, specialized resources, or subcontracting — including principal architecture, technical workstream leadership, design assurance, or specialized engineering for a prime contractor. Honest disclaimer: no security clearance, certification, standing offer, or supplier status is implied. Security, insurance, residency, accessibility, and procurement prerequisites are confirmed before commitment. (https://arihantgv.com/government-enterprise/) ## Experience areas (principal's prior professional experience) - Architecture Solution Blueprint platform — connected a catalogue of 1,000+ architecture patterns to concrete service recommendations inside a security-constrained enterprise environment (Royal Bank of Canada). - Architecture Solution Blueprint (ASB) Assist — an LLM and retrieval-augmented architecture assistant exploring permission-aware retrieval and deterministic controls; in development, not a completed production deployment. - Observability platform — vendor-neutral collection and routing architecture designed for approximately 150 TB/day across 10,000+ systems. - Healthcare platform — first engineer; established foundations that supported growth from 0 to 20+ engineers, through to acquisition. - Federal interface modernization — CRA interfaces and web presence.
