Architect of the AXE stack. Trained the first Edge model from scratch on JL2 (Apple Silicon). Builds in public with the team: Forge, Cortana, Vigil, Ghost. Believes every Canadian organization with serious AI ambitions should own the weights.
Operations and procurement. Runs the customer-facing surface that turns the platform into deployments. Brings the discipline that takes Canadian-built infrastructure from prototype to government-grade.
The alternative to building this is sending every Canadian query to a server in Virginia and renting back our own intelligence under someone else's jurisdiction. That isn't ownership. It's rent.
— Founders' note · 2026
Not a fine-tune of a foreign base. Not a wrapper around a vendor API. The weights, the tokenizer, the data — all built by us, on hardware in Canada.
Local inference on llama-server and Ollama. The customer pays once for hardware; recurring API bills disappear. Ownership is a margin position, not a marketing claim.
The weights stay AXE-owned · the deployment is yours · the inference happens on your hardware behind your perimeter. Every release-v1 carries a Knox EMA attestation chain so an auditor can replay provenance offline. If we vanish tomorrow, the deployment keeps serving — under your control, with the audit trail intact.
Knox audit chain · post-quantum signing (ML-DSA-87 FIPS 204 Level 5) · revocation freshness · key rotation. Every claim auditable.
Mountie answers 40 million Canadians via Service Canada integration. Knowing where the query is processed is part of the product, not a footnote.
We deploy on your iron. We integrate with your perimeter. We leave you with the weights.
