Services

Specific engagements. Specific outcomes.

Specific sells better than “software consulting.” Here are the four ways I most often help teams ship AI.

01

AI Architecture Review

For teams exploring AI but unsure where to start.

A focused review of your goals, data, and constraints, ending in a concrete architecture and a build plan you can act on: model choice, retrieval strategy, evaluation approach, cost envelope, and the risks worth de-risking first.

Typical deliverables

  • Reference architecture diagram
  • Build vs. buy recommendation
  • Cost & latency model
  • Prioritized risk list

02

RAG / Internal Knowledge Assistant

For companies that want an assistant grounded in their own content.

An end-to-end retrieval-augmented assistant: ingestion and chunking, embeddings, a vector store, grounded generation with citations, and evaluations so you can trust the answers. Built to be observable and maintainable, not a one-off demo.

Typical deliverables

  • Ingestion + embeddings pipeline
  • Grounded answers with citations
  • Evaluation harness
  • Observability dashboards

03

LLM Guardrails & Safety Layer

For teams that need safer, more predictable AI workflows.

A middleware layer for prompt/response validation, PII detection and redaction, jailbreak and injection checks, and policy enforcement, with tests and documentation so your team can extend it. The difference between a demo and something you can put in front of users.

Typical deliverables

  • Validation middleware
  • PII detection & redaction
  • Injection / jailbreak checks
  • Test suite + docs

04

Fractional AI Tech Lead

For startups or teams that need senior AI/backend guidance.

Ongoing, hands-on technical leadership without a full-time hire: architecture decisions, code review, mentoring, and unblocking the hard parts of shipping AI features. I work alongside your team and leave them more capable than I found them.

Typical deliverables

  • Architecture & roadmap input
  • Hands-on implementation
  • Code review & mentoring
  • Vendor / model strategy
