Network & perimeter security
Multi-vendor firewall architecture (Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, F5), ruleset rationalisation, and segmentation programmes for regulated estates.
This is the independent AI systems portfolio of Nicholas Falshaw — every RAG pipeline, agent framework, fine-tuning run, and production deployment designed, architected, and built hands-on. Seventeen years inside the security teams of Europe’s largest enterprises, now applied to AI systems engineering.
Founder
AI Security Consultant · Founder, Rogue AI
Nicholas has spent seventeen years inside the security organisations of European enterprises - designing perimeter architectures, implementing zero-trust programmes, and hardening the systems that handle money, energy, and regulated data at scale.
Rogue AI was founded to apply that same discipline to a new class of system. Large language models, agentic frameworks, and retrieval pipelines are now being deployed into the same regulated environments that took two decades to secure - often by teams who have never operated production infrastructure under regulatory scrutiny. The practice exists to close that gap.
“The interesting work in 2026 is not getting AI to function. It is getting AI to function safely, reliably, and compliantly inside the same environments we’ve been defending for years. That is an architecture problem before it is a model problem.”

rogueai.de is the personal AI systems portfolio of Nicholas Falshaw, based in Mannheim, Germany. It is a single-person site — not a company, not a commercial consultancy, not a product.
Every project documented here was designed, architected, and built hands-on as independent engineering work outside any employer’s scope. The site exists to put that work in one place, under the author’s real name, for anyone who wants to see what one person can build end-to-end.
