I build practical AI data systems and bring over a decade of business execution experience.
What I'm looking for
I independently built a RAG system that answers natural-language questions about official Surinamese statistics, using Python, ChromaDB, OpenRouter, PHP, Docker and GPT-4o-mini. I processed a 143-page scanned PDF with OCR, verified figures against official totals, and tested the system across 19 questions.
At the Ministry of SOZAVO, I designed a target-state architecture for an integrated Beneficiary Information System supporting three benefit programs. My graduation project included stakeholder interviews, an ERD, API integrations, and evaluation against ISO/IEC 27001, COBIT 2019 and ITIL 4.
I also bring more than ten years of experience across sales, consulting, project management and entrepreneurship, including leading business operations and teams. I'm completing a Business Management & ICT degree and looking to apply my technical insight and execution experience in AI engineering.
