Work with me

I help teams ship AI systems that survive contact with production — the same agent architectures, local-LLM setups, and security trade-offs I write about here, applied to your stack. If you found this site through a benchmark or a deep-dive, this is the hands-on version.

How I can help

Architecture & production-readiness review

A focused review of your AI agent, RAG, or LLM system before (or after) it hits production: failure modes, cost and latency budgets, eval coverage, fallback chains, and the security surface. You get a written report with prioritized fixes — the same standards I apply to systems I operate myself.

Best for: teams 2–6 weeks from shipping, or debugging a system that misbehaves in prod.

Local LLM & hardware strategy

Should you run open-weight models on your own hardware, and on what? Grounded in the benchmark data this site is known for — Apple Silicon vs NVIDIA vs AMD ROCm, quantization trade-offs, inference servers, and the real total cost against API pricing.

Best for: teams weighing local inference vs API spend, or planning a hardware purchase.

Advisory call

A single working session on a specific question — agent control flow, prompt-injection surface, eval design, model selection, cost blow-ups. Come with a concrete problem; leave with a concrete plan.

Best for: a decision you need a second senior opinion on this week.

How it works

  1. Intro call (free, 20 min). You describe the system and the problem; I tell you honestly whether I'm the right person — and point you elsewhere if not.
  2. Scoped proposal. Fixed scope, fixed price, written deliverable. No open-ended retainers unless you ask for one.
  3. The work. Reviews land as a written report plus a walkthrough call. Advisory sessions end with a concrete, prioritized plan.
