100+ AI agents shipped · 10+ voice AI products · Top Rated Plus · 100% JSS. I was building conversational AI before LLMs made it easy.
Not just an AI Engineer — I scope like a consultant, plan like a product manager, and ship like a full-stack AI Engineer. 5+ years in chat and voice, now LLM-native: RAG, multi-agent systems (LangGraph, MCP), production voice agents (Vapi, LiveKit, FastRTC). I architect and ship complete systems, not prototypes.
___________________________
👥 WHO I WORK WITH
👉 Founders who need their first AI product built right the first time — not a demo that falls apart in front of real users.
👉 Startups scaling a voice agent or RAG system from MVP to real production traffic.
👉 Teams adding AI to what they already run — phone agents, document search, internal copilots — without breaking what works.
___________________________
⭐ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
✅ Conversational AI since before LLMs
5+ years building chat and voice systems — so I know what actually breaks in production: turn-taking, escalation, latency, context. Not just how to call an API.
✅ Consultant + PM + engineer in one
I scope the problem, decide what's worth building, then ship it. No three hires, no handoffs, nothing lost in translation.
✅ End-to-end ownership
Working systems in production — with docs, support, and a plan to scale. Never half-built prototypes.
✅ Top Rated Plus · 100% Job Success
The track record speaks for itself.
___________________________
🛠️ WHAT I BUILD
→ AI Products & MVPs
RAG systems, multi-agent workflows, AI copilots, and document intelligence — idea to working product, not a demo.
→ Voice AI & Conversational Systems
Production voice agents and phone systems, from IVR to complex multi-agent voice. Vapi, LiveKit, FastRTC, Twilio.
→ Full-Stack AI Apps
The whole product, not just the model — Next.js + FastAPI + Convex/Postgres, built to run in production.
→ Workflow Automation
Connecting AI to the tools you already use — FlowXO, n8n, Make, Zapier — so it fits your process instead of replacing it.
___________________________
📦 WHAT I'VE DELIVERED
A few systems I've shipped to production:
1️⃣ Voice AI for Healthcare — ThriveLink (Roger)
A multi-agent voice agent that replaced clunky web forms with natural conversation. 24k+ conversations handled, 35%+ of users prefer voice over typing, 80%+ return rate. (LangGraph · Vapi · Twilio · OpenAI)
2️⃣ Enterprise Knowledge RAG — Knobi
A RAG platform over internal docs and wikis with hybrid search and cross-encoder re-ranking — accurate, cited answers. ~80% of routine questions deflected, 10k+ docs indexed. (LangChain · Qdrant · FastAPI · Next.js)
3️⃣ AI Legal Assistant — PanteraGPT (Antonio)
A multi-agent LangGraph pipeline for contract review, clause extraction, and compliance Q&A. ~60% less manual review time, 3k+ documents processed. (LangGraph · OpenAI · Bedrock · PostgreSQL)
4️⃣ Coaching Bot Platform — Coachendo

Plus voice and RAG systems for Doña Justina, Shopperfix, PRMediaLabs and more.
___________________________
🧭 HOW I WORK
1️⃣ Discovery — your problem, your users, your constraints. I tell you honestly if I'm the right fit.
2️⃣ Plan & Architecture — a clear plan, timeline, and milestones before any code.
3️⃣ Sprint Delivery — 2–4 week sprints with progress you see weekly. Working software, not status updates.
4️⃣ Launch & Support — production deployment, docs, and a support window. Optional retainer.

Four ways to work together — every project quoted up front, no surprise invoices. Figures are starting points:
1️⃣ Consultation · £120/hr — architecture reviews and direction before you build the wrong thing.
2️⃣ Scoped Build · £6k+/project (most common) — fixed scope, fixed quote: builds, integrations, POCs.
3️⃣ Fractional · £350/day — part-time AI engineering at a set weekly cadence.
4️⃣ Embedded · Let's talk — open to the right full-time or contract role, owning systems architecture to production.
Send me your idea with a rough budget. Within 24 hours you'll get:
- whether I can help (I say no to ~40% — a bad fit wastes both our time),
- a rough scope and timeline,
- and 2–3 clarifying questions.
No sales pitch, no pressure — just a straight answer.

I build AI systems that survive contact with real users, real traffic, and real invoices — not demos that break in week two.
Most automation work falls into two camps. There are no-code builders who can wire an n8n workflow but can't tell you what happens when the LLM returns malformed JSON at 2am. And there are cloud engineers who can deploy anything but have never sat with a business owner who just wants missed calls to stop costing them money. I work across both.
WHAT I ACTUALLY BUILD
▸ n8n automation & AI agents — self-hosted (Docker, VPS, nginx, Let's Encrypt) or cloud. Multi-step workflows with proper error branches, retries and dead-letter handling. Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, Google Sheets, CRM and webhook integrations.
▸ AI voice agents — inbound and outbound. Retell AI + Twilio (UK numbers) + GoHighLevel. Missed-call-to-text recovery, appointment booking, qualification and routing. Full stack: number provisioning, prompt design, call transfer logic, CRM writeback.
▸ RAG systems that don't hallucinate — pgvector on Postgres, hybrid dense + BM25 retrieval, LangChain orchestration. My preferred pattern is two-stage: deterministic SQL or structured retrieval first, then grounded synthesis, so every answer traces back to a source row rather than to the model's imagination. I've published a peer-reviewed paper on exactly this architecture.
▸ Production LLM applications — FastAPI + Next.js, streamed responses, Clerk auth, Stripe subscription gating. Deployed to Vercel for speed or AWS for scale: Lambda, App Runner, ECR, S3, API Gateway, CloudFront, Route 53. Amazon Bedrock (Nova, Claude) where the client needs data to stay inside their AWS account.
▸ Infrastructure that isn't clicked together by hand — Terraform with isolated dev/test/prod workspaces, GitHub Actions CI/CD using OIDC (no long-lived AWS keys anywhere), CloudWatch dashboards for token spend and latency, budget alarms so nobody gets a surprise bill.
▸ MCP servers and multi-agent orchestration — tool-calling agents with human-in-the-loop checkpoints at the steps where a wrong answer is expensive.
WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Anyone can get an LLM to produce something plausible. The engineering is in making it produce the *same* thing tomorrow, proving where the answer came from, and knowing what it costs per call.
So I build with that from day one: structured outputs with schema validation, retrieval that carries citations, eval sets before prompt tuning, retry and fallback paths on every external call, and cost observability wired in rather than bolted on afterwards. I've written and published research on production AI architecture and audit-trail design, and I've shipped multi-tenant SaaS on this stack — Next.js BFF, FastAPI compute API, queued CPU/GPU workers on AWS Batch, usage-based billing.
That's also why I'm comfortable on projects where the output gets checked by someone other than the person who ordered it: compliance reviews, scientific workflows, financial reporting, anything with an audit trail.
HOW I WORK
I scope before I build. You get an architecture note and a fixed number before I touch a node. I write down what the system will refuse to do, not just what it will do — that's usually the part that saves the project. Handover includes documentation and a walkthrough recording, because an automation only I can debug is a liability, not an asset.
Based in the UK. Comfortable working async across US and EU hours.
If you're not sure whether your problem is an n8n workflow, a proper agent, or just a better-written Zap — message me and I'll tell you straight, even if the answer is "you don't need to hire anyone for this."
