Digital Estate Architect

Sovereign digital estates you control.

Ehab Allababidi - Digital Estate Architect

Current venture

DarkDeck

Valuation $80-$120M | Target $250M by end of Q4 2025.

I engineer private, on-prem automation for Chicago founders, firms, and families. Every estate is installed in person, with failovers rehearsed, compliance evidence documented, and ownership kept inside your walls.

Presence

Chicago only. Delivery requires on-site stewardship; remote work is not offered under any circumstance.

Regulated Estates

Two flagship deployments engineered for teams who answer to bar auditors and HIPAA investigators.

Compliance Evidence Locker

Proof you can hand to auditors

Every estate ships with signed attestations, drill logs, and diagrams. Share these packets with your counsel, board, or regulator—no redactions required.

Documented Proof

Named clients. Verifiable outcomes.

Every engagement ships with compliance evidence, disaster recovery results, and named references who signed off on delivery.

Zero findings in our bar audit and every motion file stayed under our control. The estate runs faster than the cloud stack it replaced.
