Hello — I'm

Patrick Jenkins.

Infrastructure & Security Engineer · Solutions Engineer · Founder & Builder

Sixteen years of hands-on infrastructure, security, and PKI work — now operating at the intersection of enterprise consulting and independent product. I direct an AI-augmented engineering stack to ship at small-team speed.

01 — About

Operator. Builder. Translator.

I've spent 16+ years building and running infrastructure at every scale — from federal datacenter buildouts at Oracle, to security engineering at Fiserv, to global cloud identity at McKinsey, to enterprise PKI consulting at CDW today. Regulated environments, audit-driven shops, FedRAMP and PCI footprints — that's the world I came up in.

I'm pivoting out of pure PKI ops because the technical surface I want to own is broader: solutions engineering, security engineering across the stack, compliance advisory, and the operator side of Web3 / DePIN infrastructure. The common thread is the same one that's always been there — translate deep technical work into something a customer, an executive, or a junior engineer can actually use.

What's changed is how I ship. I run a modern AI-augmented engineering stack — Claude as primary engineering and operations partner, Replit for iteration, self-hosted MCP servers on DigitalOcean for production tooling. I direct AI rather than write code from scratch, and that lets one operator do the work of a small team. This site, for what it's worth, was built that way.
