Head of AI Engineering, Systems Architect & Technical Founder
Engineer and technical founder with 25+ years of systems experience — from embedded and automotive platforms to production AI systems leadership.
Currently the primary architect of production AI engineering across a multi-product portfolio: designed and shipped a multi-model LLM pipeline (Squirrel Wisdom) achieving a 25x reduction in cost per generated course, and built Akinakes, a production multi-agent orchestration platform with full execution audit trails and human-in-the-loop governance.
Academic background in AI predates the current wave — postgraduate research on probabilistic-grammar text extrapolation, a precursor to modern language model architecture. Prior career built and led automotive, embedded, Android/AOSP, and medical-device platforms for Ford, Toyota, and Hyundai, including founding and running two companies — one acquired, one scaled to 100+ people with its own manufacturing facility.
Combines deep hands-on technical depth with proven engineering leadership, product ownership, and customer-facing delivery — someone who can design the system and run the team that ships it.
Multi-model LLM orchestration, multi-agent systems with full audit trails, and eval-first delivery. Architect of a 25x cost-reduction LLM pipeline and Akinakes, a production agent-orchestration platform with human-in-the-loop governance.
