I Ship Before They Name It

25 years of building production systems while others are still reading whitepapers.

Every technology wave, same pattern. I'm deploying to production while the industry is still debating terminology.

2000

AI/ML Platform

Before "data science" existed

2012

Deutsche Bank

$37M platform, 100+ engineers

2022

LLMs in Production

Before ChatGPT launched

2024

Agentic AI

Before "agentic" was a term

Now I help CTOs do the same.

How I Think

"Architecture is trust. Code is conversation. Velocity comes from clarity."

Hands-on architect

Still write code daily. Won't ask your team to do anything I haven't done.
Fix foundations, not symptoms

Technical excellence without team trauma. Systems that evolve without breaking.
Transfer knowledge

When I leave, your team knows how to maintain and extend what we built.
