ABOUT PETE WHELAN

With 8 years designing secure, scalable cloud platforms and over two decades working across technology, media, and the music industry, I bring a rare blend of domain expertise and deep technical capability.Today, my work sits at the convergence of AI-driven development, AI-assisted coding, and modern cloud architecture, where I help organisations translate rapidly evolving capabilities into secure, scalable, production-ready solutions.I currently lead projects including AiMi, which applies AI within music technology to resolve attribution challenges across the rights and royalty ecosystem - uncovering and recovering missing songwriter and rights-holder revenue while delivering measurable financial outcomes. I also lead Tautsec CyberPilot, a cybersecurity platform designed to help organisations strengthen their security posture.I design and build AI, web, and voice applications across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with deep expertise in Infrastructure as Code and full-stack cloud architecture. I have previously achieved AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, Developer Associate, Master Alexa Skill builder), which underpin my practical, hands-on approach to architecting and delivering cloud solutions. This enables me to translate business problems into robust technical solutions, from concept through to deployment.My journey into AI began in 2021 working with early GPT-3 models, where I quickly recognised the potential of combining large language models with voice interfaces. This led to projects such as:• SAige - a therapeutic conversational assistant supporting elderly users experiencing loneliness• Florence - a medical AI prototype designed to assess wellbeing using vitals and medication dataEarlier in my career, I spent 20 years in London’s music industry as an agent working with leading artists in UK garage and house, and later helped introduce RFID cashless technology to festivals across Australia and New Zealand. This background gives me a deep understanding of the commercial, creative, and operational realities of the industry I now build technology for.My mission: to use AI and cloud architecture to build systems that ensure creators, rights holders, and organisations are empowered by technology and paid fairly.
