What I Do

  • I can help you build AI-first experiences, add AI features to your existing product or build custom AI tools for internal use.
  • I focus on practical solutions over flashy models. I start with simple baselines that work while prioritizing straightforward systems and business outcomes.
  • Having built AI systems at scale, I know how to handle practical challenges like dealing with uncertain outputs, collecting good training data, and being transparent with users.
  • I am open to working on a variety of AI projects. In the past, I have worked on finetuning image models, RAGs and improving inference speed of models.

Who I Work Best With

  • I work best with startups and small teams that want to move fast and see quick results.
  • I'm hands-on - I write code, fix problems, and build features myself rather than just advising.
  • I work independently and keep you updated on progress without needing constant meetings.

My Background

  • I spent 6 years as a data scientist before cofounding prezo.ai where I served as lead engineer. I worked alongside talented designers and engineers to build and scale our product to half a million users. I architected and implemented core AI features while collaborating closely with my cofounder and CEO to shape the product vision.
  • Through these experiences, I've learned what makes AI projects succeed in the real world - from technical implementation to user adoption.
  • I'm actively building my own AI products while helping select clients with theirs. Having been on both sides of the table, I understand the pressures and priorities of startup engineering.

How We'll Work Together

  • First, we'll have a short call to discuss your project. I'll listen to what you need and tell you honestly if and how I can help.
  • If we're a good fit, I'll outline what I'll build, how long it will take, and what it will cost.
  • I do most work async through Slack or email, with an optional weekly check-in call. This lets me focus on building while keeping you in the loop.

How much does it cost?

  • I prefer charging on a project basis rather than hourly. I find this aligns our incentives better. It does however require clear communication and understanding of the project scope.
  • Projects typically range from $20K to $50K USD and take 4 to 12 weeks to complete. My minimum engagement is $10K.
  • Payment is structured in three parts: 50% to start, 25% at the halfway milestone, and 25% upon completion
