The Right Partner

Why Work With Me?

AI consulting is a crowded field. What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on technical implementation, deep security expertise, and a realistic understanding of what AI can and can't do. I've deployed local AI solutions, built RAG systems, and helped organizations navigate AI adoption—without the hype.

Hands-On Implementation

I don't just advise—I deploy. From setting up local LLM infrastructure to building custom RAG pipelines, I've done the technical work that turns AI strategy into reality.

Security-First Mindset

With a background in cybersecurity (CISSP, CCSP), I approach AI with a security lens. Your data protection isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation.

No Hype, Just Results

AI has limitations. I'll tell you when AI isn't the right solution and help you focus on use cases where it actually delivers value. Honest guidance, not sales pitches.

Local-First Philosophy

I specialize in on-premise and local deployments because I understand why organizations need control. Regulatory requirements, data sovereignty, competitive advantage—I get it.
