Principal Enterprise AI, Cloud & Quantum Platform Architecture — Production Code, Dual LiteLLM Gateways, NVIDIA GPU Serving & Governed Quantum Agents
Founded & Maintained by Marian Ropota (Hands-On Enterprise AI/ML & Cloud Platform Architect)

AI Governance Lab showcases production-grade, hands-on Enterprise AI, Quantum & Regulated Life Sciences Architecture where every system blueprint is backed by working full-stack code (Python, FastAPI, React 18, Asyncio, Pydantic v2, SQLite SHA-256 Ledgers) and turnkey infrastructure automation (Kubernetes/K3s, Helm, Terraform, Podman/Docker, Linux Systemd).

For CTOs, VPs of Pharmaceutical & Quantum R&D, Engineering Directors, HR, and Technical Recruiters, this organization is structured around four cutting-edge 2026 Principal Architect flagship systems at the top, followed below by a proven track record of 10 foundational Multi-Cloud MLOps, Kubernetes, Vertex AI, and SAP S/4HANA repositories:

Enterprise Natural-Language-to-Quantum Discovery Workbench with Independent LLM-as-Judge Governance, React 18 UI, Dual Quantum SDKs & Kubernetes (K3s) Helm Deployment.

• Business-First React 18 Workbench & "Venus Quantum AI" Assistant: Translates plain-English goals in clean energy ($\text{CO}_2$ capture MOFs), supply-chain logistics, cybersecurity anomaly hunting, and pharmaceutical safety screening into executable quantum circuits—complete with a "What Does This Mean in Normal Words?" guide, Qubit-to-Variable mapping, and a non-blocking 6-stage live execution tracker.
• Real Quantum Engineering & Dual Compiler Backends: Synthesizes and executes VQE (12-iteration COBYLA energy convergence in Hartrees within $<1.6\text{ mHa}$ chemical accuracy), $p=2$ QAOA (Ising/QUBO fleet optimization at $94.9%$ approximation ratio), Grover's Search (dynamic phase oracle with optimal $k_{\text{opt}}$ iterations), and QSVM (2nd-Order Pauli ZZFeatureMap kernel) across Google Cirq and IBM Qiskit Aer, with OpenQASM 2.0 export and Ideal vs. NISQ Depolarizing Noise (p=0.03) simulation.
• Cross-Model AI Governance Observatory: Eliminates self-preference bias by routing Generator agents (Planner, Encoder, Interpreter) to Google Gemini 4 Argon while an independent Zhipu GLM-5.2 Judge audits raw quantum telemetry against AI claims before persisting to a Kubernetes local-path PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC).
  Technologies: Google Cirq, IBM Qiskit Aer, OpenQASM 2.0, React 18, FastAPI, Python Asyncio, Pydantic v2, LiteLLM, Gemini 4 Argon, Zhipu GLM-5.2, Kubernetes (K3s), Helm

• Deterministic HIPAA / GDPR PHI Scrubber & 3x Concurrent GxP Judges: Redacts Patient Names, DOBs, MRNs, SSNs/CNPs, Emails, and Phones prior to any LLM call (PHIScrubber), synthesizes clinical protocols with mandatory [CIT-P1] / [CIT-P2] anchors, and runs 3 independent evaluators concurrently via asyncio.gather (ClinicalGroundednessJudge, PharmacovigilanceSafetyJudge, GxPComplianceJudge) with mathematical variance penalty (S = μ_w - λσ² ≥ 0.95) and automatic escalation to PENDING_HITL_MEDICAL_REVIEW on SUSAR / Grade 4 toxicities.
• Hybrid Quantum-AI Molecular Screening (SMILES → E₀ (Ha) & ΔG (kcal/mol)): Maps candidate ligand SMILES strings (Sotorasib, Osimertinib, Verubecestat) and disease receptors (KRAS-G12C, EGFR-T790M, BACE1) into an N-qubit 2^N complex statevector (RY/RZ rotations + CNOT entanglement ladder) to estimate VQE ground-state energies and binding affinities.
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Cryptographic SHA-256 Ledger, Study Grant FinOps & "Dr. Helix" Multi-Turn Copilot: Persists every clinical and quantum run in a tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chain with legally binding Medical Reviewer HITL Electronic Signatures (§11.50 / §11.70), enforces per-study USD grant caps (HTTP 402 financial circuit-breaker), and features a React 18 Left+Top SaaS Workbench with Light/Dark Mode, curl examples, and interactive Jupyter Notebooks (examples/).
