Autonomous intelligence systems built for institutions that demand total data sovereignty. From privileged legal AI to zero-trust compute clusters — we build the infrastructure that lets you own your intelligence.
Two products. One mission: give institutions absolute control over their AI infrastructure, data, and intelligence workflows.
Privilege-preserving AI intake for law firms. Post-Heppner compliance, Kovel attestation receipts, multi-model routing, and front-end revenue. The "Shopify for Legal AI."
Explore KovelAIThe operational backbone. 30 Cloud Run endpoints, dual-billing Stripe Connect, Judge 6 policy gate, Oracle Studio 7-stage pipeline, SSE streaming, and a 30-day GDPR deletion queue.
View Architecture4-tier dispatch cascade: ANE → Metal/MLX → Vertex AI. Every compute node is tenant-isolated with per-firm namespace separation and sandbox-bound tokens.
Mandatory governance gate on every model route, export, and transcript. 2,057 LOC control plane with RKILL circuit breaker against hallucination.
9-stage domain tagging → GitHub sync with LanceDB hybrid search. RAG retriever bridges local-first with Vertex AI fallback. 1,088 markdown docs ingested.
LiteLLM proxy with ephemeral sandbox-bound tokens. Route through Gemini, Claude, Grok, Perplexity — each query user-billed with per-tenant attribution.
7-stage AI pipeline generating comprehensive legal memorandums. Prompt repetition boost (arXiv 2512.14982) for non-reasoning model tiers at zero cost.
Cloud Tasks with 5-retry exponential backoff and dead-letter queue. 30-day account deletion pipeline with full Firestore tenant isolation and audit trail.
Every component runs on Google Cloud Platform. Firestore document model with PITR. Cloud Run for compute. Cloud Tasks for async processing. No external dependencies.
30 containerized endpoints. Auto-scaling, zero cold starts, us-central1 region with Cloud Armor WAF protection.
Document model with 7-day PITR. Per-tenant namespace isolation. Composite indexes for sub-100ms queries.
WAF with 4 security rules. DDoS protection, geo-fencing, and rate limiting at the edge layer.
GitHub App PEM auth. Automated Gitleaks + Ruff + Bandit pre-commit. Zero-trust deployment pipeline.
Erik founded ShadowTagAI to build sovereign intelligence infrastructure for institutions that demand total data control. With a background in law and AI systems architecture, he leads the company's mission to make autonomous, privilege-preserving AI the default — not the exception — for every institutional deployment.
From KovelAI's privilege-preserving legal portals to UphillSnowball's 30-endpoint Cloud Run backbone — start building on sovereign infrastructure today.
