I ship your AI features into production.

Your AI demo wowed the room — then stalled. Too slow, it hallucinates, it costs too much, or nobody trusts it enough to ship. I'm the forward-deployed engineer who closes that last mile: reliable, evaluated, shipped. 14+ years building at scale; AI live in production at ImmuneFi.

How I help

Three ways to work together

Start small to de-risk, then scale into an embedded partnership.

01 Start here

Production Sprint

One stuck AI feature, taken to production-ready on a fixed scope and a flat fee. You walk away with a shipped feature, an evaluation harness so you can trust it, and a runbook your team can own.

2–4 weeks · fixed scope · flat fee
03 Advisory

AI Architecture & Review

For teams that have the engineers but need direction. Architecture reviews, evaluation strategy, model and cost decisions, and a weekly call to keep your AI work on the rails.

Questions

What you might be wondering

What does a forward-deployed AI engineer do?+
A forward-deployed AI engineer embeds directly in your team to make AI actually work in production — not just prototype it. I take an LLM feature that's stuck at the demo stage and make it reliable, evaluated, fast, and shipped to your real users.
How quickly can you start?+
I'm currently booking new clients and can typically start within a week. A Production Sprint is scoped in a single 20-minute call, then kicked off immediately.
What does it cost?+
Production Sprints are a flat project fee scoped to the work. Embedded retainers are monthly and part-time. Advisory is a lighter monthly engagement. The fastest way to a number is a short call describing what you're trying to ship.
Do you work with startups or enterprises?+
Both. I've shipped AI in production at a high-scale platform (ImmuneFi) and built end-to-end agentic products for startups. I work remotely on US hours and also serve Latin American teams in Spanish.
What kinds of AI systems have you built?+
Autonomous agents that take real actions (browser automation, invoicing, sales outreach), document-intelligence and RAG systems with cited answers, and LLM features hardened for production with evaluations, guardrails, and cost control. I work primarily with the Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI, LangChain, and Playwright/MCP.
Let's talk

Got an AI feature that's stuck?

Tell me what you're trying to ship. If I can help, I'll say so on a 20-minute call — and if I'm not the right fit, I'll point you to who is. No pitch deck.
