Hi, I am Subhash Dasyam.
I work at the intersection of Security Architecture, DevSecOps and Generative AI, helping enterprises design systems that are both secure and practical to run in the real world.

I am currently based in Dubai, UAE, working as a Senior Manager / Lead Security and GenAI Architect in banking. My everyday work lives where containers, cloud, GPUs, and regulations all meet. I spend a lot of time translating complex security and AI concepts into something that CIOs, CISOs, architects and developers can all agree on.

What I Do

Enterprise Security Architecture

  • Design and review architectures for large scale platforms, especially on Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes and hybrid cloud.

  • Define security patterns, guardrails and reference architectures that teams can reuse instead of reinventing security for every project.

  • Work closely with platform, application and infrastructure teams to make sure security is built in, not bolted on.

DevSecOps and Platform Security

  • Bring DevSecOps practices into real pipelines with tools like Jenkins, container registries, SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, and container scanning.

  • Help teams move from traditional workloads to containers and virtualization while keeping controls, firewalls and IP schemes consistent with regulatory expectations.

Generative AI and Agentic Systems

  • Design GenAI solutions that respect banking regulations, privacy and data residency.

  • Work on RAG architectures, prompt engineering and AI governance so that AI outputs are traceable, explainable and auditable.

  • Build and experiment with agentic AI systems that can orchestrate tools, search, code and infrastructure in a controlled way.

Things I Have Built and Explored

I enjoy moving between strategy and hands on work. Some of the areas I have been exploring recently:

  • Automated Threat Modeling for architecture teams using LLMs, diagrams and project context.

  • AML and Sanctions Intelligence using RAG, internet research, and careful scoring frameworks for predicate offenses.

  • Agentic Red Teaming suites that simulate realistic attack paths on LLM based systems.

  • Voice based assistants using local models on devices like Jetson Orin Nano, with Whisper, TTS engines and wake word listeners.

  • GPU focused experimentation with local models, vLLM, Triton, Ollama and other inference stacks.

How I Think

I believe good security and good AI systems share the same principles:

  • Clarity over hype
    If we cannot explain how a system works, we probably should not deploy it in a bank.

  • Patterns over one off solutions
    A strong pattern saves dozens of teams from repeating the same mistakes.

  • Evidence over assumptions
    Logs, metrics, test cases, TEVV style validation and risk registers matter as much as architecture diagrams.

  • Continuous learning
    AI and security move fast. I treat everything as a versioned artifact that can be refined: prompts, policies, patterns and playbooks.

Background and Journey

I have worked across:

  • Enterprise banking in Dubai, focusing on platform and security architecture.

  • High growth tech environments in Canada as a DevSecOps / Principal DevSecOps Engineer, working with cloud platforms like GCP and AWS, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD.

This mix of highly regulated banking and startup style execution helps me design solutions that are innovative but realistic for production.

Outside of Work

Outside work, I enjoy:

  • Exploring AI use cases that make life easier at home and at work: personal assistants, meeting summarizers, document workflows and more.

  • Planning family friendly travel that balances experiences, comfort and logistics.

  • Writing and sharing thoughts on containers, security, AI and architecture on my blog and social channels.

Connect With Me

I am always open to thoughtful discussions on security, Gen AI, DevSecOps and architecture.
