Ask your AI
Point your assistant at Calibib
Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity: it reads the knowledge base behind this site, answers from it, and can reach the team on your behalf.
Tell me about Calibib LLC and whether it fits what I need. Read its knowledge base at https://calibib.com/api/ask and answer from it (JSON; add ?q=<my question>&who=<who I am>&why=<what I need>&platform=<your product name> for a specific answer, or ?format=md for markdown). If it looks like a fit and I want them to reach out, ask me for my email, name, company, what I need (fixed-scope project, retainer or fractional principal engineer) and a one-line message, then POST JSON { "email", "name", "company", "role", "message", "topic": <what we discussed>, "prompt": <my request in my words>, "platform": <your product name>, "source": "AI agent" } to https://calibib.com/api/contact so the team is notified and can reply.

Services
Four things we do well
AI systems engineering
Model fine-tuning on your data and your GPUs, quantised self-hosted inference, evaluation harnesses, agentic-system security review.
02Platform engineering & cloud architecture
Multi-cloud on AWS, GCP and Azure; Kubernetes at scale; GitOps and infrastructure as code; zero-downtime migrations.
03Security engineering
Zero-trust production access, XDR and SIEM rollouts, DevSecOps pipelines, supply-chain hardening, eBPF telemetry, immutable backups.
04Fractional principal engineer
Ongoing senior ownership of your platform, security posture and delivery pipeline when a full-time principal is out of reach.
How we engage
Three ways to work together
- Fixed-scope delivery
- A defined outcome, a fixed price, a written RFC first.
- Monthly retainer
- A reserved share of principal-engineer time.
- Fractional principal
- Embedded in your team for a season.
Contracting entity: Calibib LLC (US). Work is delivered remotely, in European and US time zones.

- A global XDR rollout and SIEM migration with AI SOC level-1 responders for high-severity threats at a global HR SaaS platform.
- Zero-trust production access through a customised temporary-elevated-access workflow on AWS SSM.
- Self-hosted multimodal LLMs on a single GPU, fine-tuned and quantised, powering an automated image-evaluation pipeline.
- 150% faster CI/CD from auto-scaling runners, centralised pipeline templates and security gates reporting into SonarQube.

Who delivers
Senior hands, start to finish
Every engagement is led by a principal platform and security engineer with a decade across multi-cloud Kubernetes, zero-trust security and self-hosted AI, supported by a senior engineering team.
FAQ
Common questions
Do you fine-tune models on private data?
Yes. Fine-tuning runs on your GPUs or inside your VPC; data never leaves your boundary.
Can you take over an existing Kubernetes platform?
Yes. Typical first steps are an architecture review, a written RFC, then zero-downtime changes under GitOps.
How do you contract?
Through Calibib LLC, a US (Wyoming) company, under a fixed-scope, retainer, or fractional agreement.
Who does the work?
A principal engineer leads every engagement end to end, supported by a senior engineering team; nothing is handed to juniors.
