What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead high-impact AI agent and enterprise platform initiatives, combining hands-on architecture with team leadership to deliver secure, production-ready automation and measurable business outcomes.

I've delivered AI agent platforms for Ben Line Agencies, Standard Chartered Bank, Fidelity, and IBM, taking systems from architecture and proof of concept through production rollout.

At Ben Line, I led the next-generation Port360 and LinerX operating systems, using multi-agent workflows, RAG, MCP services, memory, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop controls. The production solution increased operational accuracy by 11%, reduced manual intervention by 80%, and lowered operating costs by 35%.

At Standard Chartered, I led AI-agent capabilities for the Transaction Banking Data Strategic Platform and Security Control Hub. These platforms reduced business turnaround time by 72%, cut pre-production security assessment from seven days to 1.5 days, and strengthened security and governance across the release lifecycle.

I combine hands-on engineering with architecture, technology strategy, vendor management, and team leadership. My work spans LLM/RAG systems, model fine-tuning, data platforms, cloud-native services, cybersecurity controls, and enterprise software delivery.
