Consulting for teams building with AI

I help product teams make AI features accurate, fast and cheap to run, and set up codebases where people and AI agents ship together. It's the same work I do every day as a product engineer, with the numbers to show for it.

Services

What I can help with.

Each service links to a case study where I did it in production.

02

RAG and AI search quality

Make AI answers more accurate and cheaper per question, and prove it on your own data.

  • Document extraction for PDFs, tables and scans, tiered by speed and cost
  • Chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval and score fusion
  • Choosing a vector store and migrating to it, from pgvector to LanceDB or Turbopuffer
  • Evaluation sets, cost-per-answer metering and the right model for each role

04

A codebase structured for the AI era

Set up your repository so AI agents and people can both work in it quickly and safely.

  • A monorepo with shared libraries and one release process
  • Rules, skills and docs that agents read, such as CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md
  • Tests and CI as guardrails for AI-written changes
  • Design docs and review habits that let a small team ship like a big one

05

Security reviews and hardening

Close penetration-test findings fast and get ready for enterprise security reviews.

  • Fixing VAPT and pentest findings
  • Sessions, tokens and logout done properly
  • Framework and dependency upgrades
  • Access checks between tenants

Something else?

If it involves AI in production, cloud cost or how a team ships, tell me about it. If I'm not the right person, I'll say so.

How it works

Three steps, starting small.

  1. A short call

    Tell me what's slow, expensive or inaccurate. We work out whether I can help, and how.

  2. An audit with numbers

    I go through your code, cloud bill or AI answers and send a written plan: what to change, in what order, and what it should save or improve.

  3. Fixes, or a plan your team runs

    I build the changes with your team, or hand over the plan and review the work as it lands.
