/ About

Senior AI Engineer with 7+ years designing and scaling distributed systems across energy, mining and SaaS environments. Based in Perth and working inside a large Australian enterprise, I build the platform layer beneath AI applications: the Dev Harness for enterprise AI delivery, a 500GB+ enterprise RAG and agent platform, and secure model serving across an estate of 100+ AWS accounts.

I specialise in production-grade agentic AI platforms, LLMOps, MCP/tooling and secure cloud-native architectures — with an engineering focus on evaluation, governance, observability and long-term maintainability rather than demos.

More about how I work

/ Selected work
01

Internal platform · Paved path

Dev Harness for Enterprise AI Delivery

I built the Dev Harness: an internal paved path for enterprise AI delivery. It packages reusable application templates, deployment automation, MCP and tool-integration patterns, security guardrails, evaluation workflows, observability and CI/CD so an AI application starts from a supportable baseline instead of an empty repository.

Retrieval architecture · ReAct agents

Enterprise RAG & Agent Platform

Architected and delivered a scalable enterprise RAG and agent platform: a 500GB+ embedding and ingestion pipeline feeding hybrid search with reranking and vector retrieval, behind a ReAct agent architecture. Retrieval quality was treated as the product — measured chatbot accuracy improved to 95% and response latency was reduced.

ML platform · 100+ AWS accounts

Secure Multi-account Model Serving

Designed and implemented a secure ML and model-serving platform spanning 100+ AWS accounts. Open-source HuggingFace models are served through Amazon SageMaker with GPU-backed inference, automated model packaging pipelines and centralised governance controls — so teams keep their own accounts while security and lifecycle standards stay central.

Grounded assistant · Procurement

Enterprise Procurement Knowledge Assistant

Designed and productionised a grounded enterprise Procurement assistant on Azure AI Foundry, using LangGraph for orchestration, ChatKit for the interface, PGVector for retrieval and integrations with MCP servers. Answers stay grounded in trusted enterprise documents, and the architecture was standardised into a reusable reference implementation.

Operating model · Platform standards

Enterprise AI Governance & Platform Strategy

Designed the operating model that lets generative AI scale beyond pilots: identity lifecycle and SCIM provisioning, RBAC, a ServiceNow approval workflow, usage controls, licensing and cost governance, plus the ADRs and platform standards that guide technology selection across engineering teams.

AI engineering services overview

/ Stack

Agentic systems & retrieval

ReAct agent architectures, hybrid search with reranking and vector retrieval on PGVector, LangGraph orchestration and MCP server integrations — grounded assistants built on Azure AI Foundry, with accuracy treated as a measured property rather than an impression.

AI platform & model serving

Internal paved paths for AI delivery: templates, deployment automation, guardrails, evaluation and observability. Open-source HuggingFace models served on Amazon SageMaker with GPU-backed inference and automated packaging across a multi-account AWS estate.

Data & pipelines

Large-scale ingestion and embedding pipelines — including a 500GB+ enterprise corpus — alongside batch and streaming data engineering, warehouse design and data quality instrumentation.

Cloud, security & delivery

AWS and Azure (certified), Terraform and IaC, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, SCIM provisioning and RBAC. Python and TypeScript day to day, SQL throughout.
