Expertise

From AI adoption to the foundations that carry it

Five skills, ordered by what organisations ask me for first. The first two make up the AI Adoption Lead role; the next three are what make it possible.

The role I offer

AI Adoption Lead

Taking AI from isolated trials to measured use: choosing use cases, setting data and access boundaries, defining how results are evaluated, equipping and training teams, then tracking adoption over time.

  • Measurable pilots, with acceptance criteria
  • Guardrails: data, access, traceability
  • Training and a network of internal champions

A role I offer on engagements, backed by the projects in my case studies.

Flagship role

Operational AI

LLMs, agents, RAG, OCR and vision models, open-weight or self-hosted models: used where they bring measurable value, with clear data boundaries and human validation.

The symptom

When AI was tested without a criterion or a frame, and never left the pilot.

What I deliver

  • Use cases chosen against a written success criterion
  • Comparative benchmarks before any model or vendor choice
  • Bounded assistants and agents, with human validation
  • Private or local hosting when the data requires it

Typical tools

  • LLM
  • Agents
  • RAG
  • OCR and VLM
  • Open-weight models
  • Evaluation
Flagship role

AI adoption and training

Taking AI from isolated trials to a team practice: usage rules, guardrails, agentic engineering training for developers, internal champions and usage measurement.

The symptom

When everyone tinkers with their own assistant, with no shared rule or measurement.

What I deliver

  • Usage frame: allowed data, access, traceability
  • Agentic engineering programme for developers, on your repositories
  • Team primitives: AGENTS.md, skills, verified workflows
  • Adoption indicators defined before rollout

Typical tools

  • Workshops
  • Hands-on labs
  • AGENTS.md
  • Skills
  • Usage measurement

Data and automation

Connect scattered data, automate what should be automated, and keep a trace of every decision the system makes.

The symptom

When the information exists but never reaches the right place.

What I deliver

  • Map of flows and sources
  • Routing, processing queues and automations
  • Run traces and replay without duplicates
  • Impact indicators defined before they are measured

Typical tools

Custom business applications

Internal tools shaped around your real processes: case handling, forms and approvals, back offices, mobile apps, admin portals.

The symptom

When spreadsheets, email and re-keying stand in for a system.

What I deliver

  • Process scoping and MVP definition
  • Journeys designed with field teams
  • Full-stack development, web and mobile
  • Production release, documentation and handover

Typical tools

Architecture, environments and hosting

Foundations that last: architecture, reproducible developer environments, deployment, maintenance and documentation, with security considered from the start.

The symptom

When technical debt and hosting slow down every change.

What I deliver

  • Architecture audit and recorded decisions
  • Developer environments described as code
  • Integration with your existing information system
  • Deployment, monitoring and maintenance

Typical tools
