What I'm working on now.

One company at a time. Right now that company is Derbent.

Currently building

Cover story · 2026 / Present

Derbent

AI security infrastructure. An independent security and context layer, so people and companies can use advanced AI models without opening their sensitive data to them.

The problem

The most capable AI models run outside your walls. Using them today often means handing over the very data you most need to protect.

What we are building

An independent security and context management layer between you and external models. The same layer is meant to keep AI agents in check: what they can see, and what they are allowed to do.

Where it stands

In development and not publicly available yet. This is the direction, not a feature list.

So far

  1. Second place at Webrazzi Arena 2026

    We took Derbent to Webrazzi Arena 2026 and finished second. For a product that is still in development, it was an early outside check on the problem we chose to work on.

The name

In Turkish, a derbent is a mountain pass, and the post that guards it.

Derbent is in development. Nothing on this page describes a finished feature.
