What I actually build.
Strategy is easier to claim than to demonstrate, so this is the hands-on part. I write the code, design the schemas, and own the production incidents. Three areas carry most of the work.
Applied artificial intelligence
- Retrieval grounded in production data rather than a detached index
- Structured extraction and classification from unstructured sources
- Model-agnostic architecture, so providers remain interchangeable
- Governed decisioning with explicit limits on what a model may decide
Data transformation
- Ingestion, normalisation, and deduplication at scale
- Entity resolution and relationship mapping
- Knowledge graphs built from unstructured text
- Document and vision-based extraction where plain parsing fails
Platform engineering
- Distributed services, scheduled workers, and queue-driven processing
- Multi-tenant isolation and role-based access control
- Cost and quota engineering under real ceilings
- Observability, fail-soft behaviour, and graceful degradation
Working stack
The architecture behind these systems, and the constraints that shaped them, is documented on the artificial intelligence page.
