Calibib LLC · Wyoming, United States
Principal engineering for platforms, security and AI.
Calibib LLC puts a principal platform and security engineer on your production systems: multi-cloud Kubernetes, GitOps, zero trust, and self-hosted AI, delivered as fixed-scope work, a retainer, or a fractional role.
02 — What we do
Four things, done at principal level
AI systems engineering
Model fine-tuning: LoRA/QLoRA and full fine-tunes where justified, on your data, on your GPUs or VPC.
Platform engineering & cloud architecture
Multi-cloud architecture on AWS, GCP and Azure.
Security engineering
Zero-trust production access (temporary elevated access on AWS SSM and equivalents).
Fractional principal engineer
Ongoing senior ownership of your platform, security posture and delivery pipeline for teams that cannot hire a full-time principal.
03 — How we engage
Three ways to work together
- Fixed-scope delivery. A defined outcome, a fixed price, a written RFC first.
- Monthly retainer. A reserved share of principal-engineer time.
- Fractional principal engineer. Embedded in your team for a season.
Contracting entity: Calibib LLC (US). Work is delivered remotely from Spain and Tunisia.

Delivered on production systems
- Zero-downtime cluster replacements. Re-architected a production platform for multi-cluster EKS with weighted-DNS cross-cluster routing and continuous lifecycle upgrades.
- 50+ serverless functions to Kubernetes-native GitOps. Migrated AWS Lambda functions and event-source mappings from the Serverless Framework using AWS Controllers for Kubernetes.
- Terraform to Pulumi, zero downtime. Rebuilt network layers, platform add-ons and security stacks during an IaC modernisation.
- 15-minute, 2 TB restores. Authored the immutable-backup RFC required for SOC 2 at a global HR SaaS platform.
- Self-hosted multimodal LLMs on a single GPU. Fine-tuned and quantised models powering an automated AI image-evaluation pipeline.
- Global XDR rollout and SIEM migration. Integrated AI SOC level-1 responders for high-severity threats.
Client names are withheld by agreement. Full list of outcomes at /ai.
05 — Who delivers
A founder-led practice

06 — FAQ
Questions we get first
- Do you fine-tune models on private data?
- Yes. Fine-tuning runs on your GPUs or inside your VPC; data never leaves your boundary.
- Can you take over an existing Kubernetes platform?
- Yes. Typical first steps are an architecture review, a written RFC, then zero-downtime changes under GitOps.
- How do you contract?
- Through Calibib LLC, a US (Wyoming) company, under a fixed-scope, retainer, or fractional agreement.
- Who does the work?
- The founder leads every engagement; delivery is supported by Lahbix SUARL, a Tunisian engineering company.
