AI Systems Architect

AI tools in specialist fields are often built by people who don't understand the domain. That's why they're mediocre.

I work with domain experts, people with 15, 20, 30+ years of deep knowledge in their field. I turn what you know into AI-powered systems that scale your expertise. I build to deliver the kind of insight that only comes from decades of practice.

Sound familiar?

→ The nuance is missing. The edge cases are wrong. The output feels generic because the person who built it has 2 years of experience and a Wikipedia-level understanding of your field.
→ You have an AI product idea but don't know where to start technically
→ You've spoken to developers who can code but don't understand your business
→ You need someone who sees the full picture: model selection, cost modeling, business model, and code
→ Your company needs AI but you can't send sensitive data to public APIs
