AI Engineer & Builder

Less narration, more shipped AI.

I design and ship production AI systems — LLM-powered apps, RAG pipelines, multi-agent architectures, custom MCP integrations, evaluation frameworks. Currently leading AI development for a US-based biotech client; two decades building software and companies behind the judgment.

How I work

  • Production AI architecture

    Designing the system around the model: retrieval, tool use, orchestration, state and memory, security boundaries, performance trade-offs. From single LLM-in-the-loop apps up through multi-agent systems — two decades of engineering applied to the new substrate.

  • Specification-driven development

    A written spec becomes a working AI system rapidly and reproducibly. The spec — not the prompt, not the code — is the artifact. Compresses the gap between idea and shipped behavior, and gives the team something concrete to review.

  • Evaluation frameworks

    Public benchmarks plus custom internal scenario suites — the holdout set the system never sees during development. Improvement gets measured, not declared. The right unit of test depends on the layer; both regression and exploratory evals belong in the pipeline.

  • AI-native delivery

    I direct coding agents (Claude Code on Opus) as the implementation layer while owning architecture and quality. Operating at Level 4–5 of agentic engineering — the agents write the code, I write and review the specs.

AI Architecture Scorecard

Is your AI system production-ready?

Take the AI Architecture Scorecard — a short, opinionated self-assessment across six dimensions, with a prioritized read on what to fix first. About three minutes, no signup.

Let's build something that lasts past week two.

If you're putting AI into a production system — an LLM-powered feature, a RAG pipeline, an agent — and want a second pair of eyes, or if you're hiring for a senior AI architecture role — talk to me.
