ABOUT THE ARCHITECT BEHIND VERTEGA PRIVATE AI
Meet Ali Davachi — The Engineer Who Turns “Risky AI” Into Zero‑Leak Infrastructure
For three decades, Ali Davachi at Cognativ has been the quiet force securing the internet’s most sensitive data flows. Before private LLMs were a talking point, he was eliminating attack surfaces for:
- A 50‑million–member healthcare portal (HIPAA)
- Global retail brands handling billions in annual GMV
- Financial services and telecom workloads under PCI‑DSS, SOC 2, ISO‑27001 audits
Now he’s channeling that security DNA into Vertega’s on‑prem AI appliance—the first ChatGPT‑class platform you can rack, lock, and own end‑to‑end.

Ali’s Mission for Vertega
“Shadow‑AI isn’t an IT problem—it’s an infrastructure problem. Give teams a safer, faster model inside the firewall and shadow use disappears overnight.”
That mantra shaped Vertega: a plug‑and‑play appliance that lets you fine‑tune and serve large‑language models without ever sending a token to public clouds. Built on a hardened, Java‑based core and relentlessly red‑teamed, it reflects Ali’s lifetime mandate: zero leaks, zero downtime, zero surprise invoices.
