AI Builder & Architect of Agentic Systems
I design AI systems that ship, and advise the leaders betting on them.
Twenty-five years building, leading and scaling technology, now focused on agentic architectures, model design and AI product development. I take enterprises from AI-curious to AI-operational, and mentor the founders building on top of the stack.
Systems I architected and shipped.
Production systems, not demos, across six domains from language and silicon to autonomous flight. Each case study walks the architecture, the decisions, and what it traded.
Zettamine/Enterprise core systems
Cognitive ERP: Augment-First SAP Modernization
[object Object]
Zettamine Industrial AI/Mid-sized manufacturing
Factory Computer Vision and Predictive Maintenance
Factory-floor computer vision, predictive maintenance and cognitive digital twins built for mid-sized manufacturers, the segment large industrial AI keeps skipping.
Zettamine/Product platform
GuildTrek: Talent and Upskilling Platform
A talent and upskilling platform that models skills as a living graph and routes each person along the path that actually closes their gap.
Trusted by governments and the Fortune 500.
Three decades across advisory, delivery and practice design, for the organizations where the technology had to work at scale.
Three decades, one trajectory.
From a single contributor in 1998 to AI architect today, leadership years used as ballast, not identity.
Recognized where it counts.
National honours, Distinguished Engineer status, and trust from Fortune 500 leadership.
Open source over patents.
The compounding wins are upstream, in the open. A few things I've helped build and give away.
Co-developed Razor and Hanlon, the next-generation provisioning engine that became core to Puppet's bare-metal provisioning.
Published widely-used open-source components for the early Android SDK, adopted across many community projects.
Early open-source contributions across Java Enterprise and JSP, back when the enterprise Java ecosystem was being defined.
If you're betting seriously on AI, let's talk.
I'm the architect-on-call for leadership teams building AI that has to ship, not just demo. The first conversation is a free 30-minute diagnosis. I won't sell; I'll diagnose.
