I help organisations put AI into production and keep it there — under regulatory constraint, at operational scale, and under genuine scrutiny. Systems architect and executive advisor, 40+ years delivering production systems across financial services, telecommunications, environmental technology, and enterprise software. HOW I WORK My work sits at the architecture and governance layer: AI integration strategy, model and vendor selection, data exposure decisions, cost controls, governance design, and how systems actually behave in production rather than in the demo. Engagements range from a short architectural review to a fractional CTO arrangement carrying ongoing technical accountability. I remain hands-on in code — backend services, APIs, data models — because staying technical is how I test assumptions and separate durable technology from hype. Clients engage me for judgement more than throughput. WHAT I BRING Financial services runs through my entire career. Eight years at TD Bank, ending as Chief Systems Architect of TD Waterhouse — fixed income trading platforms, brokerage account management systems, and the technology integration following a major acquisition. Then the R-Desktop and R-Broker platform at RPM Technologies, serving Canadian banks, wealth managers, and mutual fund companies. Today I support a South African consultancy working with major regional financial institutions. Regulated environments, mission-critical systems, low tolerance for ambiguity. At SchlumbergerSema and Atos Origin I led global programmes: SMS and BlackBerry messaging platforms, secure mobile communications for the US Secretary of Commerce, and the deployment of Hutchison's 3 Mobile product and security services infrastructure across 22 countries. Two processes I designed in that period were awarded United States patents. I also launched Atos' first RFID programme. I currently lead Global IT and DevOps at an Israel based Environmental Consulting organisation — cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled systems supporting environmental intelligence at global scale — alongside an advisory practice for organisations deploying AI into production, and am actively involved with a South African based vehicle auctioning service that manages hundreds of thousands of vehicle for sale across southern Africa and MENA. GOVERNANCE AND RESEARCH I sit on the OASIS Data Provenance Standards Technical Committee, contributing to vocabulary and standards for AI data provenance, lineage, and trust. My advisory work sits inside the governance framework production AI systems will have to operate under. My research programme, mnēSara, builds the OS primitives for structurally trustworthy AI cognition — intelligence running as a governed service rather than an architectural primitive. The thesis applies directly to enterprise AI: probabilistic models require deterministic control layers, enforced structurally rather than encoded in instructions. I write on AI systems architecture, governance, and deterministic orchestration at KAIRI on Medium, focused on the gap between AI capability and AI accountability. CLIENTS ENGAGE ME WHEN AI has to move past proof-of-concept into production Architecture has to survive operational and regulatory reality Cloud and AI spend needs to map to measurable business value Legacy systems must coexist with modern AI capabilities Leadership needs technical clarity without noise A system has failed and the recovery path has to be sound I advise at executive level and stay hands-on in code. Good architecture is cheaper than recovery. Governance is durability. If you are responsible for outcomes rather than demos, we should speak.
