What I Offer

Practical Technical Help Without Pretending Every Problem Is an AI Problem.

I work with teams that need infrastructure judgment, AI adoption plans, product architecture, technical leadership, or investment diligence grounded in how systems actually fail and scale.

Existing Business

AI Integration

I help teams find practical places where AI can improve internal tools, support workflows, search, analysis, and operator decision-making without pretending every system needs to be rebuilt.

New Products

AI-Native Products

I work with teams building products where AI, knowledge layers, and operating feedback loops are part of the company architecture, not features bolted onto a dashboard after the product is already fixed.

Systems Delivery

Hardware Infrastructure

I help teams bring up, validate, automate, and operate infrastructure where hardware behavior, cooling, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and developer workflows all matter.

Leadership

Fractional CTO

I provide part-time technical leadership for early teams making architecture, hiring, vendor, infrastructure, and delivery decisions under real constraints.

Investment Support

VC Diligence

I help investors and operators evaluate whether a systems-heavy company has credible architecture, infrastructure economics, delivery capacity, and technical differentiation.

Roles

Full-Time Roles

I am open to senior full-time roles where systems judgment, product sense, and infrastructure delivery need to live close together. If I am currently employed, I am still open to making connections, referrals, and recommendations.

How I Apply It

Systems Work That Informs the Guidance.

The advice is grounded in real delivery: GPU infrastructure, hardware validation, regulated environments, startup execution, reproducible systems, and operator workflows.

Hardware and GPU Fleet Bring-Up

Built and led automation paths that moved bare metal GPU infrastructure into operational clusters with less manual sequencing and clearer acceptance criteria.

HardwareRustKubernetesRedfishH100

Hardware, Fabric, and Storage Validation

Validated high-bandwidth networking and storage behavior for AI and HPC systems, including topology, congestion, workload placement, and benchmark interpretation.

HardwareInfiniBandRoCENVMe-oFWeka

Enterprise Hardware and Regulated Environments

Worked through hardware, firmware, storage, networking, and reliability concerns in environments where operational discipline mattered more than novelty.

ServiceNowFedRAMPIL5Ceph

Startup Infrastructure Products

Helped fast-moving teams turn infrastructure ideas into customer-facing systems, internal platforms, and delivery paths that could survive real adoption.

pre-seedSeries Acustomer-specificplatform

Rust Systems Automation

Build practical Rust tools for infrastructure discovery, host automation, validation workflows, and operator-facing systems where correctness and portability matter.

AI-Ready Knowledge Layers

Help pre-AI companies turn documents, workflows, customer context, and operator judgment into governed knowledge layers that AI systems can use without losing ownership or control.

AI System Observability

Design observability paths for AI products and infrastructure so teams can inspect model behavior, latency, cost, retrieval quality, operator actions, and failure modes after launch.
