Founder & Principal Consultant
Pat Garvey
Principal Azure Architect · AI Engineer
I help organizations make good AI decisions—and then engineer those decisions into secure, supportable Azure solutions.
My work sits where AI engineering meets enterprise cloud architecture. That means the model and prompt matter, but so do identity, networking, data access, governance, evaluation, observability, deployment, resilience, and cost.
I work directly with leaders and delivery teams, translating between business outcomes and implementation details. The result is a plan people can understand, an architecture security teams can review, and software engineers can operate.
How I work
Senior consulting without the theater.
Architecture with evidence
Important choices should be explicit, testable, cost-aware, and documented—not hidden inside a prototype.
Production from the beginning
Security, identity, deployment, evaluation, and observability are designed in rather than bolted on.
Knowledge stays with the client
Patterns, decisions, code, documentation, and operational understanding are transferred to your team.
Technical focus
Azure-first. Enterprise-minded. Hands-on.
Salton AI works across the full solution rather than treating AI as a disconnected component.
