Network Security & Applied AI

Harden infrastructure, unleash automation, keep velocity high.

Pulse Solutions AI is a network security and applied AI studio focusing on routing architecture, private LLM operations, and workflow automation for teams that cannot afford downtime.

Founded by engineers who previously designed Tier 1 backbones, provided Tier Zero support for global-scale events, and co-authored patents in DDoS mitigation and RDMA-powered AI fabrics, we carry decades of lived experience into every engagement without the hyperscale overhead.

We’ve seen the Internet from both sides of the pager.

Keep the lights on, the amps hot, and the packets flowing.

What we deliver

Secure infrastructure and purpose-built AI, delivered end-to-end.

Pulse Solutions AI delivers modern routing architectures, private model operations, and automation toolchains designed for today’s operators. Every playbook is informed by hard-earned lessons from decades of frontline engineering.

Career benchmark 38%

Average latency reduction delivered while leading traffic-engineering initiatives for Tier 1 carriers.

Change adoption 5x

Lift in feature usage seen when our founder embedded with ops and GTM teams to roll out automation and AI assistants.

War-room response <1 min

Detection-to-mitigation times achieved during Tier Zero DDoS programs for global events.

Internet Routing & Architecture

Design and optimize carrier-grade networks. BGP tuning, FlowSpec, traffic engineering, capacity modeling, and observability that scales with demand.

Private LLM Training & Inference

Data pipelines, model selection, GPU orchestration, and inference APIs crafted to keep IP sovereign while unlocking natural-language interfaces.

DDoS & Zero-Trust Programs

Layered defenses, continuous testing, and crisis playbooks informed by 25+ years of defending the largest networks on the planet.

Automation & GTM Systems

Marketing ops, sales enablement, and internal tooling delivered via low-code + custom stacks so teams can focus on signal, not swivel-chair tasks.


How we work

Strategic clarity paired with gritty execution.

Every engagement starts with context gathering, moves through co-design, and stays accountable with instrumentation plus ongoing improvement loops.

01

Discovery & war-room diagnostics

Deep dives into routing tables, telemetry, and stakeholder goals surface immediate risks and hidden leverage points.

02

Design sprints & architecture blueprints

Co-create target states, threat models, and AI/automation roadmaps that integrate with current tooling, not fight it.

03

Implementation with telemetry-first mindset

We stage rollouts with rehearsal plans, red-team drills, and tight feedback loops so teams stay informed and confident.

04

Continuous optimization & enablement

We don’t disappear post-launch. Dashboards, playbooks, and training ensure your crew owns the stack going forward.

Why Pulse

Pragmatic specialists who have carried the pager.

Proven expertise

Our founder helped launch early ISPs in Canada and Ireland, delivered Tier Zero support for large-scale events, collaborated with Avici Systems on record-breaking routers, and later contributed to routing and AI initiatives inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Tailored AI

We design private model stacks with governance, privacy, and explainability practices learned from decades of handling sensitive carrier and cloud workloads, including RDMA fabrics purpose-built for AI.

Holistic security

Zero-trust roadmaps, FlowSpec strategies, and automated mitigation plans are grounded in real incident response—not theory.

Transparent handoff

Documentation, enablement, and instrumentation are part of the engagement—not an optional phase.

Founder & Principal

James DeLeskie

Prior to founding Pulse: James helped build early ISPs in Canada and Ireland, provided Tier Zero support for large global events, co-authored patents in DDoS mitigation and RDMA networking, partnered with Avici Systems on record-breaking routers, founded Mimir Networks, and supported routing plus applied AI programs inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Pulse today: He now channels that experience into bespoke security, routing, and AI programs—bringing RDMA-aware architectures and proven DDoS countermeasures to ambitious teams without hyperscale bureaucracy.

When he’s not designing resilient systems, he’s likely at a heavy-metal show—bringing the same intensity to automation and AI programs that he brings to the mosh pit.

“Thirty years, countless outages, and still chasing the perfect route.”

Built for mission-critical operators.

Pulse Solutions AI is designed for telcos, financial institutions, cloud-native companies, and public agencies that need seasoned leadership to guide network security and AI adoption. Engagements range from rapid-response DDoS assessments to multi-quarter operating-model builds.

  • Executive workshops aligning security, product, and GTM leaders
  • Hands-on routing and traffic engineering, including FlowSpec and large-scale BGP traffic engineering
  • Private LLM labs with governance, labeling strategy, and platform ops
  • Automation squads embedding with ops/marketing to eliminate toil
