What I Engineer
Enterprise AI systems that are secure by design, observable by default, and built for regulated industries.
RAG Pipeline Architecture
Vector-based retrieval systems with structured chunking, contextual re-ranking, and hallucination guardrails. Built for accuracy in high-stakes environments.
Secure LLM Deployment
Private endpoint configurations, prompt injection defence, data redaction layers, and encrypted inference pipelines within enterprise VPCs.
AI Observability & Cost Control
Token-level usage tracking, LLM output quality scoring, prompt regression detection, and real-time cost dashboards for executive visibility.
Internal AI Copilots
AI-powered productivity tools for engineering teams — automated standups, intelligent code review, Jira ticket triage, and sprint summarisation.
