How I Work
I help companies navigate AI — from initial strategy through production deployment. Whether you need a clear roadmap, hands-on implementation, or ongoing technical leadership, I bring enterprise experience and scientific rigor to every engagement.
AI Strategy & Roadmap
The Problem: You know AI could help your business, but you’re not sure where to start or which opportunities will deliver real value.
What I Do:
- Audit your current technology stack and data assets
- Identify high-impact AI opportunities aligned with business goals
- Prioritize initiatives based on feasibility, impact, and risk
- Create a clear roadmap with milestones and success metrics
Deliverable: A prioritized AI roadmap you can execute on — not a 100-page report that collects dust.
Technical Implementation
The Problem: You have a clear idea of what you want to build, but need experienced hands to make it production-ready.
What I Do:
- Design and build RAG systems, LLM integrations, and AI pipelines
- Implement safety frameworks and guardrails (constitutional AI, content filtering)
- Set up evaluation and monitoring for AI systems
- Ensure production-grade engineering: testing, observability, deployment
Deliverable: Working AI systems, deployed and monitored, with your team trained to maintain them.
AI Safety & Compliance
The Problem: You’re deploying AI but worried about hallucinations, harmful outputs, or regulatory requirements.
What I Do:
- Assess risk profile of your AI applications
- Implement guardrails and safety checks appropriate to your use case
- Design human-in-the-loop workflows where needed
- Prepare for compliance requirements (SOC 2, HIPAA, industry-specific)
Deliverable: Safe, compliant AI systems with documented risk mitigations.
Fractional AI Leadership
The Problem: You need senior AI expertise but aren’t ready for a full-time hire, or you want to level up your existing team.
What I Do:
- Provide part-time technical leadership (CTO, VP Engineering, Principal Engineer)
- Set technical direction and make architectural decisions
- Mentor engineers and conduct code reviews
- Represent technical perspective in leadership discussions
Deliverable: A team that’s enabled to build and maintain AI systems independently.
Engagement Models
Project-Based Defined scope, clear deliverables, fixed timeline. Best for specific initiatives like building an AI feature or creating a strategy roadmap.
Retainer Ongoing hours each month for continuous support. Best for companies that need regular access to AI expertise without a full-time hire.
Advisory Strategic guidance at the executive level. Best for leadership teams making significant AI investments who want an experienced perspective.
Let’s Talk
Every company’s situation is different. I’d rather have a conversation about your specific challenges than try to fit you into a predefined package.
