Calibib LLC — Principal engineering for platforms, security and AI

Calibib LLC delivers principal-level platform, security and AI engineering to companies that need senior hands on their production systems: multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms, GitOps and infrastructure as code, zero-trust security programmes, and self-hosted, fine-tuned AI systems.

• Entity: Calibib LLC, a Wyoming (US) limited liability company founded in December 2023.
• Registered address: FLAG: owner supplies the registered address

What we do

• AI systems engineering: Model fine-tuning: LoRA/QLoRA and full fine-tunes where justified, on your data, on your GPUs or VPC. Quantised self-hosted inference (llama.cpp, vLLM), including multimodal models on single GPUs. Evaluation harnesses and automated AI pipelines (for example image evaluation at scale). Agentic-system security review: tool and MCP boundaries, prompt-injection exposure, data-exfiltration paths. AI SOC responders integrated with your XDR/SIEM.
• Platform engineering & cloud architecture: Multi-cloud architecture on AWS, GCP and Azure. Kubernetes at scale: EKS/GKE, multi-cluster, Istio/Linkerd, Karpenter, zero-downtime cluster replacement. GitOps with ArgoCD and Kargo; infrastructure as code with Terraform and Pulumi; migrations between them with zero downtime. Serverless-to-Kubernetes migrations (AWS Controllers for Kubernetes), Bazel monorepos, release engineering. Cost, lifecycle and reliability engineering.
• Security engineering: Zero-trust production access (temporary elevated access on AWS SSM and equivalents). XDR and SIEM rollouts and migrations; DevSecOps pipelines with quality and security gates. Supply-chain hardening for IDEs, runners and build systems. eBPF telemetry and kernel-level network security tooling. Immutable backup and recovery designs; SOC 2 readiness evidence.
• Fractional principal engineer: Ongoing senior ownership of your platform, security posture and delivery pipeline for teams that cannot hire a full-time principal. Architecture reviews, RFCs, and hands-on implementation, not slide decks.

How we engage

• Fixed-scope delivery: a defined outcome, a fixed price, a written RFC first.
• Monthly retainer: a reserved share of principal-engineer time.
• Fractional principal engineer: embedded in your team for a season.
• Contracting entity: Calibib LLC (US). Work is delivered remotely from Spain and Tunisia.

Track record

• Delivered: Re-architected a production platform for multi-cluster EKS, enabling zero-downtime cluster replacements via weighted-DNS cross-cluster routing and continuous lifecycle upgrades.
• Delivered: Migrated 50+ AWS Lambda functions and event-source mappings from the Serverless Framework to Kubernetes-native GitOps with AWS Controllers for Kubernetes.
• Delivered: Drove an IaC modernisation from Terraform to Pulumi, rebuilding network layers, platform add-ons and security stacks with zero downtime.
• Delivered: Authored an immutable-backup RFC delivering 15-minute, 2 TB restores required for SOC 2.
• Delivered: Led a global XDR rollout, a SIEM migration, and the integration of AI SOC level-1 responders for high-severity threats at a global HR SaaS platform.
• Delivered: Enforced zero-trust production access through a customised temporary-elevated-access workflow on AWS SSM.
• Delivered: Built an enterprise offender-monitoring platform end to end: ~56% of commits across a polyglot backend (Python/FastAPI, Go, Rust), GCP/GKE infrastructure and mobile agents; event-driven Pub/Sub with transactional inbox/outbox; per-device DNS-over-TLS monitoring; in-memory threat-list pipeline for real-time alerting.
• Delivered: Self-hosted and fine-tuned quantised multimodal LLMs on single GPUs to power an automated AI image-evaluation pipeline.
• Delivered: Migrated a public-sector SaaS to multi-cluster GitOps (ArgoCD) under zero-trust, binary authorisation and Falco; productised the internal DevSecOps stack into a multi-tenant AI security SaaS.
• Delivered: Achieved a 150% CI/CD speed-up by architecting auto-scaling GitLab runners and centralised pipeline templates; instituted security and quality gates reporting into SonarQube.
• Delivered: Designed a hybrid multi-cloud Kubernetes platform with Pulumi and Karmada, automated with Kubebuilder; eBPF/Cilium integration for 15% more efficient packet processing and 40% faster security audits.

Who delivers

Founded and led by Adam Lahbib, a principal platform and security engineer based in Barcelona (https://adamlahbib.com). Part of the delivery is subcontracted to Lahbix SUARL, a Tunisian engineering company (https://lahbix.com).

FAQ

• 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? The founder leads every engagement; delivery is supported by Lahbix SUARL, a Tunisian engineering company.
