About me

Intro

I build systems where AI handles the judgment calls and engineering handles everything else. Most AI projects fail because the boundaries are wrong. The AI is either doing too much or too little. I design systems where AI gets structured inputs, produces structured outputs, and lives inside guardrails that catch failures before they reach production. I work on fixed-scope projects: architecture reviews, pipeline development, system assessments, integration work.
