Hi, I’m Jedidiah (pronounced Jedi-Dye-ah, but you can call me JayD).

AI sounds easy until you bring in enterprise into the picture. You have the data, the AI, how do you secure it, sounds complex, isn't it?

Enterprise AI succeeds when complex technology is made simple, secure, and sovereign. My focus is to help organizations across the Asia Pacific and Japan region deploy AI on their own terms, ensuring their data never leaves their datacenter. It is about bringing AI to their data, and not the other way around.

My focus is making complex AI accessible, practical, and genuinely impactful for the organisations that need it most. From deploying the world’s first production instance of Cohesity’s Zero-Copy Sovereign AI to building custom MCP integrations for AI Tools, I focus on delivering AI that is trusted, local, and measurable.
