// AI engineering

AI systems built to run in production, not just in a demo.

RAG assistants over your documents, LLM features inside your products and AI agents that act on real systems, deployed on AWS or GCP with the discipline of production infrastructure: CI/CD, monitoring, evaluation of answer quality and limits on model cost.

What I build

RAG assistant over your documents

Ingestion, chunking, embeddings and retrieval, with answers that cite their sources.

LLM features in your product

Model APIs wired into existing products and internal tools: prompts, tool use, structured output, latency and cost control.

AI agents

Agents that call your APIs and tools, with scoped permissions, an audit trail and human approval before irreversible actions.

AI applications end to end

From prototype to production: the Python backend and APIs, authentication and cloud infrastructure behind the AI feature.

Evaluation and guardrails

An evaluation set for every project, so answer quality is measured before and after each change, not assumed.

Running it in production

Kubernetes or serverless, Terraform, CI/CD, secrets management, monitoring and spend dashboards.

Proof you can check

The assistant on this site2026

Built end to end: retrieval over the CV, FAQ and articles; a retrieval and answer test suite that must pass before every deploy; rate limits, a daily cost cap, no visitor IPs stored.
