About

An engineer whose consultancy ships.

Not a media brand, not a slide deck — a working engineer with 26 years of shipped platforms behind him.

The short version

I've spent 26 years building platforms end to end: data pipelines, web systems, streaming infrastructure, and for the last two years, production LLM systems — multi-agent AI networks, retrieval pipelines, and voice/SMS automation that handle real users. I work across the whole stack, from MySQL schemas to model orchestration, and I stay until it runs in production.
