Applied AI systems · Engineering leadership

AI Engineer & Fractional CTO

I design, build, and lead the delivery of production AI systems — RAG platforms, voice agents, and workflow automation — and run the engineering function for founders who need a technical leader without a full-time hire.

What I do

How I work

Three ways I plug into a team — from owning the whole engineering function to shipping a single high-stakes AI build.

Fractional CTO

Founders scaling an AI product

Technical leadership for AI-first products: architecture, hiring, delivery, and roadmap — the engineering function without the full-time hire.

  • Own architecture and delivery across the team
  • Hire and lead engineers (10+ led at EXODIA)
  • Turn an AI roadmap into shipped systems

Applied AI Engineering

Teams with a concrete AI build

Hands-on builds of production LLM systems: enterprise RAG, agents, and voice AI that are reliable and measurable.

  • Enterprise RAG over policy-heavy knowledge
  • Claude / LLM agents with tool use and approvals
  • Voice AI on VAPI / Retell at scale

AI Advisory & Automation

Operators modernising workflows

n8n workflow automation and AI-assisted internal tools that remove repetitive office work — plus a second opinion on AI strategy.

  • n8n workflows across CRMs, inboxes, and docs
  • Data enrichment and quality monitoring
  • Pragmatic AI roadmap reviews

Selected work

Case studies

Problems I was brought in to solve, what I led, and the measurable result.
