Field log · About Segment360

AI has to be operated, not shipped.

Most AI gets demoed, applauded, and quietly abandoned. We build the other kind: agents that go to work inside your cloud and keep working, because we stay and run them.

Specimen · why a cachalot

We named the company after the method.

Also known asCachalot · sperm whale

Hunts byecholocation, in the dark
Methodgo deep, find it, surface

We did not pick the cachalot to look clever on a logo. We picked it for how it works: descend past where everyone else stops, find the thing in the dark, and come back up with it.

Inscription · the standing order

See beyond the surface.Think beyond the obvious.

Logged at every depth · since day one

Surface metrics are easy. Anyone can read a dashboard and name the symptom. The work is in the dive: down past the obvious answer to the real one, then back up with something you can act on. We took our name from the sounding line, the oldest way to measure depth.

Entries · what we hold to

Four things, held without exception.

01
Operated, not shipped

Launch is the starting line, not the finish. We run the agent, tune it against real traffic, and stay on the hook for the outcome long after the build is done.

02
Your cloud, your data

The system lives inside your cloud account. Your data never leaves it and we never hold a copy. Least privilege, a full audit trail, and a kill-switch you control.

03
Honesty over hype

No badges we have not earned. We tell you what is running in production today and what is still on the way, then we put it in writing. We will sign a BAA. We will not pretend to be certified before we are.

04
The people who build it, run it

The person who designs your system is the one who builds it and the one who answers the pager. No bench of juniors to inherit it, no account manager standing between you and the work.

Instrument · the Cachalot Compass

How we navigate every engagement.

The same arc as the dive: detect the signal, descend to the cause, resurface with a plan. Three moves, in order, every time.

01

Signal Detection

Find the few signals that matter in the noise. Before we dive, we read the water: what actually moves the outcome, and what is just chop on the surface.

Read the water
02

Deep Exploration

Dive to the root cause, not the surface symptom. We go past the obvious answer into the systems and data where the real problem actually lives.

Dive to the cause
03

Strategic Resurfacing

Come back up with a plan you can use. A dive is worthless if you cannot bring the answer home, so we resurface with something to build, run, and measure.

Surface the plan
Who we are · the company

An applied AI company, run by operators.

We build the systems businesses actually run on, and we run them too.

Segment360 designs, builds, and operates agentic AI inside our customers' own clouds. We pair engineers who have shipped real systems with an operating discipline most teams reserve for their own infrastructure, then hold ourselves to it on someone else's behalf. We are based in San Ramon, California, and we work wherever your cloud runs.

The crew · who is behind it

The people on the line.

Portrait of Alina D. Magauova
Founder
Board Advisor
Alina D. Magauova
The Storyteller

Alina founded Segment360. After taking it through its first chapter, she stepped onto the board, where she now steers every marketing and go-to-market initiative. She draws on her work with Google Healthcare AI and privacy-first data strategy for Fortune 500 brands to shape how the company tells its story and meets its customers.

Part physicist, part photographer, fully lost in the NorCal wilderness.

Portrait of Oscar Kennis
Co-founder & CTO
Oscar Kennis
The Architect

A builder at heart who has spent his career architecting enterprise platforms across Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure. At Segment360 he owns how agents are built and run inside your cloud: the architecture, the access model, and the operating discipline a security team will sign off on.

Best ideas happen during late-night coding sessions with a furry co-pilot.

Head of Engineering
Daryan Sankar
The Shinobi

Equal parts frontend craftsman, backend strategist, and AI whisperer. Daryan moves silently across the full stack, shipping polished interfaces by morning and wiring intelligent agents by night. If something just works and you cannot tell how, he probably built it.

Writes code like a ninja: fast, clean, and gone before you notice.

Head of Platforms
Lex Manshin
The Terraformer

A multi-certified cloud architect, data engineer, and security specialist fluent in every major cloud. Lex builds the infrastructure that keeps Segment360 fast, secure, and cost-efficient, automating everything so the work never waits on the platform.

If infrastructure were music, he would be the conductor, and Terraform the orchestra.

Data Engineer
Diego Sisalima
The Cartographer

Diego maps the territory between raw data and working intelligence. He builds the pipelines, warehouses, and transformation layers that turn scattered signals into something an agent can actually reason over. Quiet, precise, and relentless about data quality, because nothing downstream works if the foundation is wrong.

If the data is clean, he was here. If it is not, he is already fixing it.

Sr Data Engineer
Edgar Canseco
The Deep Diver

Edgar goes where the data gets complicated. GCP-certified and fluent across AWS and Databricks, he builds the extraction and transformation systems that surface buried patterns. He treats every pipeline like production infrastructure, because at Segment360 it is.

Certified in three clouds, but only needs one terminal to find the problem.

Below deck · emotional support

The emotional support squad.

The unsung heroes who keep morale high, keyboards warm, and deadlines loosely supervised.

Gerlik

Only wakes up to verify deployments are on schedule. If she is still sleeping, everything is running smoothly. Zero bugs on her watch, mostly because she sleeps through all of them.

Portrait of Boss
VP of Terraformer Oversight
Boss

Personally ensures the Terraformer stays on task. Monitors every `terraform apply` with an unwavering stare. Has never approved a pull request, but has never missed a snack either.
