I am the founder of Proferent, where I help companies plan, build, and deploy enterprise AI systems. My work spans use-case discovery, workflow redesign, solution architecture, RAG, agents, evaluations, human-in-the-loop controls, and hands-on delivery.
I build what I advise on: applied AI systems, local AI tools, on-device ML applications, agent infrastructure, cloud platforms, IoT systems, and distributed systems.
| Project | Focus | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Birbal | Agent harness | TypeScript agent infrastructure with model adapters, tool execution, configurable pipelines, evaluations, and tracing. It powers my enterprise AI research newsletter, Birbal Brief. |
| Memorable | On-device AI | A production iOS app using CLIP-based semantic photo search. I worked on Core ML conversion, local inference, OCR, and time and location search. |
| Sonar | Local AI | A desktop app that creates role-specific codebase briefings with source citations, repository indexing, retrieval, memory graphs, and local LLM support. |
| Enterprise AI Strategy, architecture, adoption planning, production delivery. |
Agents and RAG Tool use, retrieval, evaluations, tracing, human review loops. |
| Local AI On-device ML, local inference, private AI workflows. |
Engineering Leadership Solution engineering, team building, customer-facing technical execution. |
I write about enterprise AI architecture, AI agents, LLM inference, AI adoption, and engineering systems.
