Twenty-five years of shipping. Two companies built and sold. Before that, Linux security at a bank. Now: credential vaults, rate-limit-aware routing, and usage accounting for the LLM stack.

    aigate

    Multi-account LLM credential vault. An AES-256-GCM key registry — machines fetch provider credentials on demand instead of hardcoding them. Rate-limit-aware routing across accounts of the same provider. Live usage dashboard. It answers, for a team of one, the questions an enterprise asks: who can use which model, through which account, at what cost. Node.js, open source.
