Work with me
I build production AI systems. RAG pipelines, LLM applications, and agentic workflows, shipped and evaluated, not slideware. I am a three-time CTO and I work hands-on, in the codebase, not from the sidelines.
Available for AI contract, build, and fractional engagements.
How I work with you
Three ways to start. Pick the shape that fits, or book a call and we scope it together.
AI Readiness Review
Fixed scope, one to two weeks
I audit where AI actually fits your product and where it does not. You get a written map of the highest-value use cases, the data and retrieval work each one needs, realistic build estimates, and the traps to avoid. No slideware, a plan you can hand to a team and execute.
Built docmancer, a local-first RAG tool on PyPI with hybrid retrieval and an eval pipeline, used inside Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Two-Week RAG or Agent Build
Fixed scope, two weeks, working system at the end
I build and ship a production RAG pipeline or agentic workflow against your data. Hybrid retrieval, reranking, evals, and the plumbing that makes it reliable rather than a demo. You keep the code and the pipeline, no lock-in.
Shipped agentic RAG with hybrid search, cross-encoder reranking, and multi-collection routing on Qdrant, plus a voice knowledge agent on ElevenLabs with a custom retrieval pipeline.
Fractional CTO and AI Advisory
Ongoing, by the month
Hands-on technical leadership for founders and teams building with AI. Architecture, hiring, code review, and the hard tradeoff calls, with me in the codebase when it matters. I work as a builder who leads, not a manager who watches.
Three-time CTO. Scaled Bonzo Finance past $50M+ AUM and co-authored ERC-5606, an officially approved Ethereum standard.
Watch me build
Not a manager watching the work, a builder doing it. Here is me shipping a voice agent with a custom RAG pipeline, end to end.
Ready to start?
Tell me what you are building and where AI fits. The smallest useful next step is a short call.
I contract through Kytona Ltd, my UK consulting company.
