With 12+ years of engineering leadership, as Solution Architect, Director of Engineering, and Head of R&D, I help companies build AI infrastructure, integrate AI into operations, and scale what they already have. Hands-on, from architecture to production. I've launched 5 products, including ML-based platforms and AI Agents solutions, and have built and managed HPC and AI GPU clusters.

Conference speaker, panel moderator, startup judge, and MLOps/LLMOps instructor. ## Services ### AI & Infrastructure Assessment Not sure where AI fits or why your current AI isn't delivering? I assess your product, operations, and infrastructure. Provide a prioritized roadmap with quick wins and clear next steps. Not a slide deck. A plan you can execute. ### Build, Integrate & Scale Most fractional CTOs advise. I do the actual work, whether you need to build AI from scratch, integrate AI into your existing operations, or make your current AI faster and cheaper. You don't need to have an engineering team in place. ### Technology Leadership & Enablement No technical leader in the company? Or maybe your team needs AI expertise they don't have yet? I step in as your technology executive. Strategy, hiring, team management, processes, board-level communication. Plus training, courses, and workshops to help the team grow and become self-sufficient. ## Projects ### Data Phoenix Data Phoenix is a live media platform for AI and Data professionals.
