About me
Intro
Data streaming & AI architect with 15+ years building mission-critical systems—from €10M+/day trading platforms to 100K+ events/min esports infrastructure. Specialized in Kafka/Scala microservices, GenAI pipelines (97% accuracy at €0.30/process), and legacy modernization (18× throughput gains). I diagnose, stabilize, and industrialize production streaming and AI systems with measurable outcomes—sub-300ms latency, rapid MTTR, and DDD-driven architecture.

Freelance Data Streaming & AI Solutions Architect

Mar 2026 - Present
8 months
Singapore
Independent practice, ScaleFine Pte Ltd, Singapore. I diagnose, stabilise and industrialise mission-critical streaming and production AI systems, hands-on and on demand. I work across four engagement formats: • Assessment: identify root causes, expose risks, and define the smallest credible remediation path. • Proof Sprint: measure feasibility, quality, cost, latency and Go / No-Go criteria before funding a build. • Build & Stabilise: migrate, harden or industrialise a validated system, with explicit scope, milestones and acceptance criteria. • Fractional CTO & Advisory: provide recurring senior direction on architecture, reliability, technical roadmaps, build-vs-buy choices and critical incidents. Selected outcomes: • 100K+ events/min at sub-300 ms latency. • €10M+/day production systems. • 97% human-validated AI accuracy at ~€0.30 per case. • 18× throughput on an Oracle-to-Cassandra migration.
