About CUI Labs

Computational Unified Interoperable Labs

A specialized software development house engineering secure, autonomous, and quantum-resilient systems for high-stakes environments. We build foundational infrastructure that must operate reliably under adversarial pressure, regulatory oversight, and complex multi-network conditions.

Our Thesis

The world is entering a postmodern compute era

  • Quantum acceleration will break legacy cryptography
  • AI systems will act autonomously in critical workflows
  • Financial value will settle across regulated and decentralized networks
  • Security must be verifiable, continuous, and mathematically enforced

CUI Labs builds the architecture that addresses these realities.

The CUI Mandate

Computational · Unified · Interoperable

This is cohesive trust architecture for systems where failure has consequences.

Computational

Systems must be provable, deterministic, and analyzable.

Formal verification, verifiable compute, post-quantum cryptography, deterministic analysis engines.

Unified

Security must operate as a single coordinated boundary, not fragmented controls.

Zero-trust orchestration, governed identity fabric, runtime cryptographic enforcement.

Interoperable

Trust must move across chains, clouds, jurisdictions, and sovereign infrastructures.

Cross-network certificate exchange, settlement fabric bridges, multi-domain identity systems.

Architecture

The CUI Labs Trust Stack

Our entire ecosystem — products, platforms, partnerships — is engineered on a four-layer trust model ensuring security, autonomy, and interoperability remain provable and controllable.

01

Verifiable Compute & Provenance Layer

Deterministic execution, data lineage, and auditability.

02

Distributed Policy & Identity Fabric

Trust, permissions, and governance across networks.

03

Cryptographic Enforcement & Key Infrastructure

Quantum-safe identity anchors, custody, and runtime integrity.

04

Autonomous Coordination & Operational Intelligence

AI-driven decisioning and system adaptation under real-world conditions.

Capability Domains

What we build

CUI Labs develops secure and autonomous infrastructure across five strategic capability domains.

Quantum-Resilient Cryptography

Systems designed to remain secure against classical and quantum adversaries.

Autonomous AI Defense & Operational Intelligence

AI systems that monitor, predict, contain, and self-correct — with verifiable reasoning.

Blockchain & Cross-Network Interoperability

Cryptographic identity, settlement, and data-provenance fabrics across heterogeneous networks.

FinTech Infrastructure & Institutional Security

Programmable, compliant finance rails with secure custody, treasury automation, and real-time auditability.

Next-Generation Compute & Self-Evolving Systems

Neural-interface compute environments and adaptive control substrates for long-horizon system optimization.

Deployment Criteria

Where we deploy

Our systems are selected for environments where:

Downtime is costly
Data integrity is mission-critical
Identity cannot be spoofed
AI decisions require oversight
Adversaries are sophisticated
Compliance and sovereignty matter

Leadership

Advisory Board & Leadership

Operators with deep APAC GTM, networking, security, and sovereign infrastructure experience.

Founder & CTO of CUI Labs, leading technology strategy, architecture, and product development for quantum-safe, autonomous, and interoperability-driven infrastructure. Alongside CUI Labs, spent more than a decade as Managing Director of Engic, an EPCM and industrial solutions company serving global clients across oil & gas, energy, marine, shipbuilding, and industrial sectors. At Engic, responsible for commercial and operational leadership across trading, services, and manufacturing divisions—covering everything from engineered valves to pipe-fittings to lifecycle project management and specialized industrial products. That combination of deep engineering, long-cycle industrial projects, and multi-stakeholder execution informs how he thinks about real-world deployment and reliability at CUI Labs.

Technology strategy, security architecture, and product development for quantum-safe and autonomous infrastructure. Building secure compute and blockchain systems that can operate across high-stakes, regulated environments and sovereign deployments. Core competencies: EPCM strategy & industrial delivery; secure & autonomous systems architecture; quantum-safe & zero-trust security; blockchain & FinTech infrastructure; cross-border engineering & execution governance.

Results-driven sales leader with over 25 years of experience across service providers, enterprises, and federal government sectors in Asia-Pacific. Built and scaled high-performing teams, opened new markets from the ground up, and consistently exceeded revenue targets for leading technology companies. At Arista Networks, led the company's entry into the Enterprise Campus segment and drove new-logo acquisition in large data center and AI development projects across ASEAN, managing a diverse portfolio of key enterprise accounts including regional banks, insurers, technology platforms, and manufacturers. As Managing Director for Southeast Asia at Ruckus Wireless, grew annual revenue from US$700K to US$53M, capturing approximately 22% market share. Under his leadership, ASEAN contributed close to 40% of APAC revenue, with large-scale deployments across hotels, K12 institutions, universities, and telcos.

Enterprise sales strategy, channel design, and regional go-to-market execution across APAC. Experience with telcos, systems integrators, and regulated enterprises directly supports how CUI Labs positions and scales QSIG, QNSP, and Tunnel with strategic customers and partners. Recognized for mentoring, building collaborative, execution-focused cultures, and aligning cross-functional teams around clear growth objectives and customer success outcomes. Brings a strategic, analytical, and partnership-centric approach to every engagement.
