AI consultant & builder
I build AI systems, end to end.
After two decades delivering large technology programs in banking and insurance, I spent the past year building LearningNemo — an agentic AI platform — as its only human. A steep, hands-on journey into what it really takes to ship AI. That's the work I bring to teams.
NVIDIA-Certified Professional — Agentic AI & Generative AI
01 — The work speaks
Built, not just discussed.
I'd rather show than tell — so I built one.
LearningNemo is a 35-module agentic platform I designed and delivered over seven months, as the only human on the project, with AI agents as the team. It isn't perfect, and building it taught me what shipping AI really takes: clear architecture, honest trade-offs, and relentless verification. That's the experience I bring to your work.
02 — What I do
Strategy, grounded in delivery
I help you decide what to build and why — informed by having actually built it, not by slideware. Clear scope, real trade-offs, a path to production.
Hands-on implementation
I design and ship the system itself: agentic architectures, retrieval, evaluation, guardrails, and observability — end to end, in production, not a prototype.
Enterprise-grade by default
Security, compliance, governance, and reliability from a career in banking and insurance — so your AI holds up to real scrutiny and real load.
03 — How I deliver
Execution discipline that ships.
Shipping enterprise AI takes more than models — it takes execution discipline. This is how I deliver systems that hold up:
Architecture as the single source of truth
One canonical specification defines every component and its contracts — so a large system stays coherent end to end.
A gated delivery lifecycle
Every unit of work moves through architecture → spec → build → review → merge, each stage gated by the next.
Verify everything
Explicit review discipline, a living lessons-learned registry, and a hard rule: no silent fallback — a quietly degraded result is a failure, not a pass.
Nothing changes silently
Decisions, changes, issues, and root-cause analyses are all documented and cross-referenced.
Tested and gated
>85% coverage enforced in CI, plus deep end-to-end testing — verified on real hardware before anything ships.
04 — Selected work
LearningNemo
learningnemo.com →A CEO-led agentic AI research swarm: a reasoning CEO agent plans, decomposes work across specialist agents, checks its own work, and produces a governed deliverable — built NVIDIA-tool-first as a reusable, pluggable platform. Designed, built, and shipped solo.
Its first product — deep medical research reports — is launching soon.
