AI solutions that deliver real value,and help your business grow.
I help companies and teams figure out where AI genuinely helps, then build it. That runs from an honest first assessment to something running in production that people actually use. It holds whether you're a small team automating real work or a large organization rolling AI out across engineering.
My background is engineering, so the work stays hands-on. I build it, not just advise on it. Two decades of that, most recently leading platform and AI work inside a large bank. The interesting problems are rarely about the tools themselves.

Expertise
Six areas I work across, from working out where AI belongs to the platform work that keeps it running.
AI opportunity assessment
Working out where AI genuinely pays off and where it does not, before anyone commits a budget. A shortlist of real use cases, what each one is worth, and what each one costs to run.
AssessmentUse casesScopingCost to run
AI solution design
Designing the system around the model: retrieval, tools, agent workflows, and evaluation, shaped to fit how people already work rather than replacing it wholesale.
Solution designAgentsRetrievalEvaluation
AI in production
The part most pilots never reach. Deployment, monitoring, cost control, and the guardrails that let something run day after day without supervision.
ProductionGuardrailsMonitoringCost control
Adoption and enablement
Rollout across a team or a whole organization: standards, templates, and hands-on enablement that turn a tool everyone has into a tool everyone uses.
AdoptionEnablementStandardsTemplates
Platform and cloud engineering
The systems underneath. APIs, services, and cloud infrastructure built to carry this work rather than have it bolted on afterwards.

A good architecture doesn't matter if the team never adopts it.
I write the code
Templates and standards only spread if I use them alongside the team, not just mandate them.
Adoption is the metric
A rollout isn't done when it ships. It's done when the team actually uses it.
