01 // PROVEN TECHNICAL DEPTH
20+ years of systems admin/engineering. 12+ years mastering Centrify & Delinea.
As a former Delinea Principal Professional Services Architect and PS Architect Manager, I've built full Active Directory and Linux lab environments in Hyper-V to prove custom methodologies work before they ever touch your development/production network.
12+ YRS SERVER SUITE · 9+ YRS CLOUD SUITE
Server Suite (PAS), Cloud Suite & DirectAudit
Over a decade of deep specialization in Centrify/Delinea Server Suite (Server PAM), Cloud Suite (PAS/Platform), and DirectAudit. Designing hierarchical zones, enforcing least privilege across Windows, Linux, and UNIX landscapes, onboarding identities, integrating MFA, and configuring full session monitoring.

02 // THE AI FORCE MULTIPLIER & LOCAL AI
Disciplined AI grounded in 20+ years of experience - say no to rampant agentic sprawl.
This AI world we now live in is crazy. These autonomous agents without deep domain supervision can produce trash, broken code and dangerous security gaps. Remotancy brings two decades of hands-on-keyboard systems engineering to use AI properly and help companies bring their AI stack in-house.
If someone made a genie wish and made AI completely disappear tomorrow, I can still do this type of work just as proficiently. That is experience that AI can't replace.
EXPERIENCE-BACKED GOVERNANCE
AI as a Force Multiplier, Never a Substitute for Fundamentals
Anyone can use AI to generate a PowerShell script or suggest an IAM policy, but with 20+ years of Windows/Linux/AD experience, and 10+ years PowerShell development I can immediately tell you exactly what it's doing, or planning to do, so that I can spot flaws in agent-produced work.
No Rampant Agentic Use: Strict human-in-the-loop architectural control where agents act as a force multiplier, rather than a replacer. I use AI to automate the easy, low-level tasks that are time-consuming, freeing me up to focus on complex issues that only my experience and expertise can solve.
Senior-Level Code & Output Auditing: Every script, module, and configuration produced with AI assistance is validated in isolated Hyper-V lab environments and reviewed to principal engineering standards.
Faster Delivery, Higher Quality: Clients get the speed of AI-assisted workflows combined with the accountability of a former Delinea Principal Architect.
PRIVATE LOCAL AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Move Off Anthropic & OpenAI: Run Your Own Local AI Stack
Sending proprietary source code, infrastructure schemas, and sensitive identity data to third-party cloud APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic introduces compliance risk and compounding per-seat/per-token costs. I build and run dedicated AI supercomputers in my own lab and help companies deploy their own private local AI stack.
Eliminate Recurring Cloud AI Burn: Transition your engineering and operations teams away from expensive OpenAI/Anthropic subscriptions toward owned, predictable local inference hardware.
100% Data Sovereignty & Privacy: Run capable local models and custom quantized weights via LM Studio & Hermes agent completely inside your security boundary. Nothing leaves your environment.
Custom Internal Workflows: Purpose-built local AI agents for log analysis, documentation generation (LaTeX/RMarkdown), sudoers/policy analysis, and internal workforce enablement.

07 // ABOUT DANIEL RIVERA & REMOTANCY
A tinkerer's rigor. A Principal Architect's track record.
I'm Daniel. A U.S. Army veteran with 20+ years of systems administrator/engineer experience, and 12+ years as an IAM/PAM specialist who served as both Principal Professional Services Architect and PS Architect Manager at Delinea.
Before founding Remotancy, I spent over a decade delivering Centrify and Delinea implementations across enterprise environments, first as a Partner Consultant at Que Technology Group (2014–2021) and then directly inside Delinea (2021–2025), where I led complex implementations, managed a team of IAM/PAM architects, authored SOWs, built PowerShell modules and produced new services that became billable solutions adopted across the Professional Services organization.
I have a tinkerer's personality (or undiagnosed autism), the kind of engineer who will spin up an entire mock Active Directory lab in Hyper-V to prove a customized methodology works, write a publication-grade technical manual in LaTeX and RMarkdown so your team is supported long after the contract ends, and invest in dedicated local AI supercomputers to master private AI workflows. The kind of technical nerd that takes complex environment-specific problems as a new challenge and puzzle to solve.
