It integrates a knowledge graph (Neo4j) with vector retrieval (pgvector / Weaviate) and an on-premise LLM (Llama 3 / DeepSeek served by vLLM) to solve the "black box" problem of standard RAG. Every response includes inline citations and provenance, and all data and inference stays inside the on-premise / sovereign boundary. ### Sovereign On-Premise Generative AI Platform A layered reference architecture for regulated enterprise GenAI: Channels → API Gateway with Identity, RBAC, and prompt-injection / PII guardrails → Orchestration & RAG (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, agentic flows) → On-Prem LLM Serving on a GPU cluster (vLLM, Triton, Llama 3, Mistral, DeepSeek with LoRA / QLoRA fine-tunes, Kubernetes autoscaling) → Data and Knowledge layer (Weaviate, pgvector, Milvus, Neo4j, MinIO, Lakehouse) → MLOps / LLMOps foundation (CI/CD, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, Ragas / TruLens evaluations, full audit trail). ## Education - B.Tech in Computer Science — BMC Of Engineering (Apr 2007 – Apr 2011) ## Publications and writing - Medium: https://bibinprathap.medium.com/ - IEEE Collabratec: https://ieee-collabratec.ieee.org/app/p/BibinPrathap1145633 - Selected articles: VeritasGraph (Sovereign GraphRAG), Real-time traffic analysis in Dubai using Google Maps API and R, Building full-stack AI-powered ERP with React, BIM + GIS 3D visualization, Scalable e-commerce with Next.js and Tailwind, WhatsApp chatbots for e-commerce. ## Reference works authored by Bibin Prathap - The Ultimate Enterprise RAG Glossary — citation-ready definitions of Enterprise RAG, GraphRAG, Sovereign AI, On-Premise LLM, Agentic AI, MLOps, LLMOps, vector databases, knowledge graphs, hybrid retrieval, re-rankers, fine-tuning (LoRA / QLoRA / PEFT), guardrails, verifiable attribution, and vLLM.
