The stack, spoken aloud.
The tool is a detail. The outcome isn't. I architect the fastest path from concept to production AI — quantised vision models on Jetson edge hardware, agentic orchestration that closes loops without a human in the chain, hybrid RAG pipelines that retrieve at scale. Eight years on GPUs. Three platforms built from scratch. One acquisition. Now Founding Director at BLUE, operating at altitude. The bar hasn't moved: it ships, it scales, it earns.
