ASK Consulting is led by Assaf Kipnis, who spent 12 years at LinkedIn, Meta, Google and ElevenLabs finding the ways systems quietly fail. It is based in San Jose, California and works with clients across the United States.
Background
Assaf spent 12 years doing fraud and abuse investigation at LinkedIn, Meta, Google, and ElevenLabs. That work is one long lesson in how systems fail quietly: the fake accounts that look real, the transactions that pass every check, the abuse that hides inside normal-looking traffic. Building reliable AI turns out to be the same job. The failures are silent, the dashboards stay green, and someone has to go find what the system is hiding.
How I work
I build systems, not decks. Every AI judgment in a system I ship is surrounded by checks that are ordinary code: code reads the data, the AI does one narrow job, and a check it cannot skip decides whether the output goes out. When the evidence is missing, the system says so instead of guessing. Clients keep their data in their own systems, and a person stays in the loop on anything that reaches a customer.
I build in the open
Some of what I build is public. My GitHub carries 531 stars across 48 public repositories as of September 2026, including the research tooling and founder systems this practice runs on. You can read the code before you hire anyone.
