Services

One specialty, backed by the engineering that ships it.

AI Engineering is what I'm hired for. Cloud, DevOps/MLOps, and full-stack work aren't separate offerings — they're the reason the AI actually reaches production and stays there. Outcomes below are described qualitatively; I don't publish invented numbers.

Lead specialty

AI Engineering

Agentic AI, LLM applications, RAG, and multi-agent systems — taken from prototype to dependable production system.

Agentic AILLM appsRAGMulti-agentAI automationGenAI productsBedrock AgentCore

What it is

Designing and building AI systems — LLM applications, retrieval pipelines, and multi-agent architectures — together with the AI infrastructure they run on, including AWS Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore. The work spans the model boundary and everything around it: retrieval, orchestration, evals, guardrails, and deployment.

Business value

An AI capability that behaves the same for the thousandth user as it did in the demo — accurate enough to trust, observable enough to debug, and affordable enough to keep running. The difference between an impressive prototype and a feature you can put in front of customers.

Typical outcomes

  • A RAG or agent system promoted from prototype to a monitored production service
  • Guardrails, evaluation, and fallback behaviour that make outputs dependable
  • An architecture the in-house team can understand, extend, and operate
  • Inference and infrastructure costs that scale with value, not surprise

Supporting · the foundation

Cloud (AWS)

Architecture, cost optimization, and platform engineering on AWS — the ground the AI is built on.

BedrockSageMakerQuickSightEKSLambdaS3

What it is

Cloud architecture and platform engineering with real depth on AWS — designing the services, networking, and security that AI and backend workloads depend on, and keeping the bill defensible as they grow.

Business value

Infrastructure that's right-sized for where you are now and ready for where you're going — without the over-engineering or the runaway cloud spend that quietly sinks AI projects.

Typical outcomes

  • A clear AWS architecture for AI and backend workloads
  • Cost structure that's understood and under control
  • Security and access boundaries that hold up to scrutiny

Supporting · keeping it up

DevOps & MLOps

Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and ML deployment — the discipline that keeps production AI reliable.

KubernetesCI/CDObservabilityML deployment

What it is

The operational backbone for AI and software systems: containerised deployment on Kubernetes, automated pipelines, monitoring and tracing, and the ML deployment practices that make model updates routine rather than risky.

Business value

AI systems that can be shipped, watched, and rolled back like any mature software product — so a bad change is a non-event, not an outage, and the team can move quickly with confidence.

Typical outcomes

  • Repeatable deployment pipelines for models and services
  • Observability that surfaces problems before users do
  • Operational practices the team can own after I leave

Supporting · the product around it

Full-Stack & Distributed Systems

Backend systems, APIs, and distributed architectures — with frontend when an engagement calls for it.

BackendAPIsDistributed systemsEnterprise software

What it is

The software that surrounds the AI: well-designed APIs, distributed backends, and the enterprise-grade systems that integrate an AI capability into a real product — plus frontend work when the engagement needs it end to end.

Business value

AI that's wired into your product properly — performant, maintainable, and integrated — rather than bolted on. The connective engineering that turns a model into something customers actually use.

Typical outcomes

  • Clean, documented APIs around AI and core services
  • Distributed backends that scale predictably
  • An AI capability integrated into the wider product

Not sure which of these you need?

That's usually the first conversation. Tell me where your AI work is stuck and I'll tell you honestly what it would take to move it forward.
