Fractional AI lead and hands-on build partner for founders shipping GenAI features, not just prototyping them.

Embedded 1–2 days/week as the GenAI decision-maker — architecture, build oversight, team upskilling. For teams past prototype who need someone to own it.
Let's talk →Ship a specific RAG pipeline or agent workflow end-to-end, scoped and priced upfront. Best fit for a defined feature with a clear success criterion.
Let's talk →Get an LLM feature from spike to production — evaluation, guardrails, cost/latency tuning, the parts that don't show up in a demo.
Let's talk →A short, paid engagement: audit an existing GenAI system, deliver a written assessment and prioritized fix list. Low-commitment way to start.

Why the same AI feature works at one company and fails at another: canonical definitions, current signals, and quality enforcement — the layers nobody budgets for.
In a step-billed system your costliest interactions are the ones the model works hardest on and still can't finish. The effort paradox, and the four controls that bound it.
Cost is steps times tokens times retries, the failures dominate, and the pilot will not show you. The four buckets to model and the levers that actually move the bill.
Models at the edges, deterministic code in the core. The patterns that don't need a model, the ones where it earns its keep, and the question to ask before adding it.
