I'm Arun Sanna — an enterprise architect who turns complex challenges into scalable, secure systems. From legacy modernization to AI-native platforms, I build for government agencies and frontier teams that can't afford downtime.

From orchestrating platform support during Operation Allies Refuge — the largest evacuation in U.S. history, 124K+ lives, zero incidents — to modernizing healthcare systems serving millions, I've shipped where failure isn't an option.

My focus now: secure AI infrastructure, agent runtimes, and the platform engineering that makes AI safe to run in federal and mission-critical environments.
