VP Engineering • AI & Compliance Operator

Ship AI-powered products faster — with audit-grade trust.

I help CTOs, CISOs, and founders build execution systems where product velocity and compliance reinforce each other.

HIPAA-ready operations SOC 2 audit track Operator-first execution

Engagements built for operators

AI Governance Architecture Sprint

2 weeks

Design a practical governance layer for AI features without killing delivery speed.

You get: decision framework, SDLC control points, role ownership, implementation roadmap.

Compliance Operating System Setup

Turn HIPAA/SOC 2/ISO/AI Act requirements into an execution model for engineering and operations.

You get: control map, evidence workflow, ownership matrix, audit-ready cadence.

Technical Due Diligence & Enterprise Readiness

Prepare product and process posture for enterprise buyers, security reviews, and scale pressure.

You get: gap report, risk-prioritized plan, remediation sequence, buyer-trust narrative.

Proof, not theory

Anonymized HealthTech Case

Compliance-by-design while scaling engineering delivery

Led engineering execution model design and operational rollout for a US health platform handling sensitive data across product and infrastructure teams.

  • Successfully passed HIPAA audit
  • Successfully passed SOC 2 audit
  • Established repeatable cross-functional control workflow

Operator insights

Three patterns I see repeatedly in AI, engineering, and compliance work — and where teams usually burn time, trust, or both.

AI architecture fails when it ignores operating reality

Most teams do not lose on model quality. They lose on brittle orchestration, missing ownership, and workflows nobody can support under real delivery pressure.

Compliance becomes expensive when it lives outside execution

If controls sit in spreadsheets instead of delivery flow, evidence gets recreated by hand, engineers bypass the system, and every audit becomes a fire drill.

Enterprise trust is won before procurement starts

Buyers look for decision discipline, access boundaries, auditability, and remediation ownership — not polished security language pasted onto an unstable operating model.

About

I’m Yan Dyshkalps. I lead engineering with an operator mindset: turn ambiguity into execution, make systems hold under pressure, and build trust before the audit or buyer forces the issue.

My work sits where AI delivery, software operations, and compliance meet. I help teams design operating models that are fast enough for product reality and disciplined enough for regulated environments.

I reply personally. If there’s no fit, I’ll still point you to the fastest next step.
