Enterprise GenAI, in production.

What it looks like to run enterprise GenAI as a program, not a project.

Framework100% of GenAI traffic · 100+ use cases

GenAI Service Layer

When every team needs LLMs, you need infrastructure that turns chaos into reliability. Multi-cloud, multi-vendor, model-agnostic, with built-in routing, caching, observability, cost governance, and policy enforcement across 100+ production use cases.

Framework16w → 2w

Agent Service Layer

Agents aren't a feature you ship once. They're a class of system that has to be built, evaluated, validated, and operated. The framework standardises every step. Cuts the full pipeline (development, evals, human validation, load testing, deployment) from 16 weeks to 2 weeks or less.

Product · Flagship85K queries/wk · 80%+ CSAT

Multi-agent customer chatbot

Customer-facing production AI handling 85K+ queries per week. CSAT lifted from ~50% to 80%+. A flagship example of what the Agent Service Layer can produce.

  • Multi-agent orchestration with specialised sub-agents
  • Parallel tool use and agentic delegation
  • Human-in-the-loop escalation for high-stakes flows
  • Persistent interaction + knowledge memory across turns
  • Multi-step transactional workflows

What I think about

Across two eras of AI.

Fourteen years of building. Today's GenAI revolution, anchored in the deep ML foundations it stands on.

GenAI era · Today
01

Enterprise GenAI architecture

Service layers, multi-cloud routing, model-agnostic design.

02

Agentic AI systems

Harnesses, tool use, evaluation, idea-to-production velocity.

03

Cost governance at scale

Caching, batching, tiering across providers.

04

Voice & multimodal

Beyond legacy STT-text-TTS pipelines.

Foundational ML · Pre-GenAI
01

Transformer training & fine-tuning

End-to-end model training, transfer learning, and parameter-efficient fine-tuning across modalities.

02

NLP & computer vision

Production NLP and CV pipelines. Classification, extraction, detection, segmentation, and OCR at scale.

03

Recommender systems

Hybrid recommendation combining collaborative filtering, content-based, and neural approaches.

04

Traditional ML & more

Tabular learning, time series, clustering, anomaly detection, ensembles, and graph representation learning.

Now

Currently working on.

The initiatives shaping the next chapter of enterprise GenAI at scale.

Building

Agentic systems at scale

Pushing the Agent Service Layer into more departments. New eval harness, new tool primitives, faster idea-to-prod cycles.

Shipping

Voice AI for internal ops

Native end-to-end streaming voice replacing legacy STT-text-TTS for internal staff workflows. Real-time, low-latency, prosody-aware.

Co-shaping

Frontier model partnerships

Pre-release evaluations and roadmap co-shaping with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS, and Salesforce.

Researching

DocIQ + Tacit research

Multi-modal agentic RAG and local-first knowledge digitisation. Both private builds.

Inputs

Reading & thinking.

A short list of what's shaping how I think this season.

Book

Co-Intelligence

Ethan Mollick on living and working with AI. The clearest framing of human + agent collaboration I've read.

Paper

Anthropic Building Effective Agents

The architecture patterns that hold up in production. Routine reading for anyone shipping agents.

Tool

Claude Code & Codex

The current state of AI coding agents. Reshaping how software gets written, not just how it's typed.
