Experience

What I have built

Each engagement has its own page: the situation, what I actually did, the trade-offs I can defend, and where it ended up, including the parts that did not work.

AI and platform engineer

Hybrid edge vision, where the streams never leave site

A cloud-designed NVIDIA vision stack reworked to run on Jetson hardware on-premises, so GDPR-sensitive video is processed in the store and only analytics reach AWS. Became a reusable internal offering.

An AI platform on EKS carrying four production use cases

Argo CD for reproducible deployment, per-workload cost attribution with OpenCost, centralised logging and load testing, plus an Apache Iceberg data lake that avoided costly managed databases.

Infrastructure foundation for a customer-facing agent

Development and production environments built from scratch for a chatbot on a live commercial portal, with CI/CD, a reusable Terraform template and keyless OIDC deployment into AWS.

Halving the latency of an agentic banking workflow

An audit showed roughly 70% of a 50 to 60 second response time came from engineering rather than the model. Rebuilding the deployment architecture halved it at equal task performance, with a fine-tuned small model served on the client's own GPUs.

Delegated access for a sovereign agentic platform

A self-hosted platform where effective access is the intersection of user and agent rights across C1-C4 data, with revocable delegation and auditable decisions deployed under GitOps on Kubernetes.

Inference benchmarking and internal platform engineering

A Go CLI comparing inference serving configurations on latency, throughput and quality, internal GPUs operationalised behind Teleport, two AWS AgentCore production deployments, and mentoring in the open-source squad.
