I architect AI systems you can ship — and defend.
I help leaders turn AI ambition into systems they can trust. Three years architecting production AI in legal, banking, and finance — plus active ISO/IEC 42001 audit work. I design the architecture, ship the system, and know how it will be judged.

AI architecture in regulated, high-stakes domains:

- ISO 27001
- MLOps
The problem
You’re not confused about AI. You’re afraid of the wrong move.
The budget, the board, the regulator, the headline risk — the cost of a bad AI bet isn’t the bill, it’s the regret. What you actually want in the room is a calm AI architect who has shipped real systems and knows exactly how they fail an audit.
| Architect | Audit |
|---|---|
| I’ve architected the thing.ML infrastructure at 500K+ docs/day, KYC/AML platforms for banks, document intelligence for legal teams. Real data, real latency, real adversaries. | I’ve audited the thing.An active ISO/IEC 42001 and 27001 auditor assessing whether AI systems are governed, documented, and safe. Most people in AI have done one or the other. |

| CASE-03 | Banking | Compliance SaaS for Banks — KYC/AML · multi-tenantAutomated KYC/AML workflows serving multiple financial institutions, with graph data modeling and full observability. |
| CASE-04 | Assurance | AI Governance Audits — ISO 42001 / 27001Assessing AI management systems and information security against certification requirements as an active auditor. |
Operating model
A practical architecture path you can audit at every step.
The work isn’t model selection. It’s scoping the real decision, confronting data reality, designing the system, hardening it for production — and proving it’s governed.
- Scope & de-risk — Define the decision the system must improve, and the failure cases you can’t afford. No model talk yet — just the real stakes.
- Architect the slice — Design and ship a narrow version on real data, with measurable outputs and a clear evaluation. Proof beats slideware.
- Harden & govern — Add monitoring, latency control, security, and operating controls — plus documentation that satisfies the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.
