AI that

I help businesses find where AI moves cost, speed and revenue. Then I design, build and run the systems that deliver it, so the result shows up in your numbers, not just in a demo.

Sound familiar?

The problems costing you more than you think.

Case studies

Proof, in production.

Five problems, five systems running today. Each result came from a design decision rather than a lucky prompt.

TheWINK.coAI product · WOPIE

A prototype turned into a product 1,200+ people use.

Challenge

A promising AI prototype that had to become something real people could rely on every day.

Approach

I designed the whole architecture: how the services split, how the product finds the right information and how its agents work together.

Result

A live product with 1,200+ users, built on documented decisions the team keeps extending.

TheWINK.coAI running costs

The AI bill cut by 43%, and nobody noticed a difference.

Challenge

Cost and wait times were climbing with every new user.

Approach

Send each request to the smallest model that can handle it, trim what gets sent, and reuse answers to questions that keep coming back.

Result

43% lower cost and answers a third faster, with quality unchanged across the test suites.

HerbionRegulatory automation

Regulatory paperwork, drafted in a fraction of the time.

Challenge

Specialists spent enormous effort assembling regulatory dossiers from scattered sources and strict templates.

Approach

An AI system that gathers the evidence, drafts each section to the required template and cites where every statement came from.

Result

Preparation time down by more than 90%, with every section traceable for audit.

SAYNT AIMulti-agent systems

Agent teams that fail safely instead of silently.

Challenge

International clients needed agents for mission-critical work, where a quiet mistake is worse than no answer.

Approach

Agents with memory and clear rules for their tools, plus retries, circuit breakers and a path to a human. I led the developers who built them.

Result

Systems that recover or ask for help instead of guessing, and are tested before every release.

TheWINK.coAgent security

AI agents that can't be talked into things.

Challenge

An agent that reads emails, files or web pages can be manipulated by what it reads.

Approach

Keep outside content away from instructions, check every action, give each agent only the access it needs and require a person for anything destructive.

Result

Every release gets attacked by us first, before anyone else has the chance.

  • Outside content can't give orders
  • Every action checked before it runs
  • Agents only get the access they need
  • Destructive steps wait for a person
Why teams bring me in

Built to work on day three hundred, not just demo day.

Outcome before code

We agree on the number that has to move before anything gets built, and we measure it after.

Production, not pilots

Designed for real users, messy data and people trying to trick it, from the first day.

One accountable architect

Strategy, design and delivery stay with one person, so nothing gets lost between hand-offs.

You own all of it

Code, prompts, tests and documentation are yours. No lock-in, no black boxes.

Experience

One layer up the stack, every time.

I started with data pipelines, moved to retrieval, then agents, and now own the whole architecture. That path is why I know where systems break.

TheWINK.co

AI Architect Engineer

I own the architecture behind the company's AI product and its enterprise client work. This is where cost, quality and security all became mine to answer for.

My first time leading a team. I moved from building agents to deciding how they should be built, and checking that they were.

Regulatory automation · Industry project

Where I learned that in a regulated industry, an AI answer without a source is worthless. Everything I build since cites its evidence.

Data Engineering

I started in data. An AI system is only as good as the pipeline underneath it, and this is where that lesson stuck.
