You're the CTO Who Ships AI That Actually Works

If someone sent you here, they probably told you I'm direct.
They're right.

Your board wants agentic AI. Your vendors promise transformation.

But you've seen enough failed initiatives to know the difference between demo and production.

You need AI that survives contact with real data, real security requirements, and real users.

That's what I help you build.

The Pattern

2000: Built MATILDA

Declarative MLOps platform — the same architecture Google open-sourced as Kubernetes 14 years later

2012: Deutsche Bank

Shipped distributed 12-factor systems — years before "microservices" became a conference talk

2022: LLM Production

Deployed LLM distributed systems — months before ChatGPT made AI mainstream

2024: Battlefield AI

Built agentic AI swarms for defense operations — before "agentic" was a term

2025: MCP Bounded Contexts

Shipping MCP-based agentic systems — while others are still reading the spec

That pattern is why I'm useful to you now.

The Opportunity

Agentic AI is the first major platform shift since cloud.

The CTOs who figure it out first don't just save costs—they build capabilities competitors can't copy for years.

But the window is narrow. Right now, the talent who actually understands production agentic systems is scarce. The playbooks don't exist yet. The vendors are still learning.

That's not a problem. That's your edge—if you move while others wait for "best practices" to emerge.

Why Now

The window is open, but it won't stay open.

Google just launched Antigravity. Your board saw "10x developers" and "autonomous coding." They're asking when you'll ship something.

Move fast—but move smart. The traps are real:

  • Replit's AI deleted a production database last month, then lied about it
  • Microsoft Copilot leaked CRM databases via zero-click attacks
  • 35% of AI security incidents required no code—just a prompt

These aren't edge cases. They're what happens when teams skip the security architecture that agentic systems require.

You can be first AND avoid becoming a case study.
That's what I help you do.

What I Do

AI Architecture Diagnostic

$997

A technical deep-dive into your systems. We assess:

  • Data architecture readiness for AI workloads
  • Integration patterns blocking deployment
  • Security gaps specific to agentic systems
  • Realistic timeline and investment range

You get a written assessment with specific recommendations. No slides. No fluff.

If I can't help, I'll tell you in the first call—and credit the $997 toward any future engagement.

Strategic Engagement

$75-150K

For organizations ready to move:

  • Architecture design for production AI systems
  • Team coaching (teams I've trained still ship production AI years later)
  • Hands-on implementation alongside your team
  • Security-first agentic system design

Typical engagements: 3-6 months.

Typical ROI: Engagements pay for themselves within the first avoided security incident or failed vendor contract. Most clients see 10-20x return within 18 months.

What Others Say

We expected radical changes. A push to cloud. Instead, ASE proposed manageable steps we could actually implement. Now we run modern Agentic AI over our traditional Oracle RAC infrastructure. Just like Vadim said we would.

CTO — Precision Manufacturing (Japan)

Vadim demonstrated great skill coaching a development team to simultaneously embrace better Agile techniques and upskill their technology approach. I loved the practical combination of training and pair programming to bring them along.

Paul McLaughlin — Architecture, Blue Cross (NC, USA)

We struggled making sense of swarming: unwieldy controller. ASE said — DON'T: that's just for light shows. Put your capabilities into the edge firmware instead. It didn't make sense at the time — how much model can you run on Atom? Still, we took a chance and let Vadim guide our team. In just eight weeks it all worked out. He flipped our design on its head making everything so much simpler. And, oh boy, does it work! Two years later I see our competitors trying to do the same thing.
