About

Hi, I'm Lenin Alevski, a security professional with over a decade of experience in software and security engineering. I specialize in the architecture and defense of distributed systems (Kubernetes), currently focusing on the frontier of AI Security and Autonomous Offensive/Defensive capabilities. I partner with global organizations to lead complex projects in security assurance, ML Red Teaming, and high-scale vulnerability management. I am passionate about building "security that thinks," leveraging agentic frameworks to automate risk management and protect critical AI infrastructure. I do: AI Security (ML Red Teaming & Adversarial Defense), Agentic Frameworks (Autonomous Security), Vulnerability Management at Scale, Kubernetes Hardening, Cloud-Native Security (GCP/AWS/Azure), Distributed Systems, Go, Python, and Applied Cryptography.
