At a glance
I am an engineering executive who still ships. I set AI strategy, then architect and build the systems myself. I have been a cofounder and CEO, CTO, and VP of Engineering, delivering for enterprise and government clients in the GCC, Southeast Asia, Korea, India, and the US.
I designed and built LLM Gateway, a multi model inference platform with credit accounting and auditable billing, and Agent Orchestrator for chat and browser tasks on that platform. AI projects stall on cost, security, data, or people. I design around those points.
