What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and deploy reliable AI systems that solve real business problems, with end-to-end ownership from problem definition through production delivery.

I build production-ready AI systems, including RAG pipelines and agentic workflows, from business problem definition through deployed and tested software.

As an independent AI engineer and consultant, I built a multi-node agentic pipeline for enterprise financial workflows using hexagonal architecture. I implement human-in-the-loop safeguards, audit trails, and evaluation frameworks so systems remain reliable in production.

At OmniMap, I co-founded and led technical development of a B2B SaaS platform for field sales route planning and real-time re-optimisation. I designed Python backend routing logic with OR-Tools and helped evolve the product from React Native mobile to a React web application after validation.

Previously at Management Solutions, I supported regulatory reporting and finance operations for insurance and telecommunications clients, recovering over €200k in aged receivables and coordinating monthly settlements exceeding €2M.
