About Me
๐ Based in Ireland
๐ Founder of Pixel & Pattern
๐ 8+ years in end-to-end data solutions
I build end-to-end data solutions & AI systems that simplify and solve business challenges and reporting problems,
Over the past 8+ years, Iโve worked across data engineering, analytics, BI, and marketing measurement - helping ecommerce and B2B businesses bring data from dozens of platforms into one reliable source of truth.
My work goes beyond building dashboards. I design the pipelines, data models and business logic behind them, so when a CEO, marketing team or finance team looks at a number, they can actually trust it.
I currently help manage the data stack for 20+ DTC brands with ~$500M in combined revenue, bringing together data from 25+ ecommerce, marketing, finance, and operational sources.
โก WHAT I BUILD
โช End-to-end analytics infrastructure : APIs โ warehouse โ transformation โ dashboards
โช Executive & KPI dashboards : Power BI, Looker Studio, Tableau
โช Ecommerce analytics : revenue, orders, products, customers, LTV, retention, subscriptions and inventory, Contribution Margin, HFM data.
โช Marketing analytics : CAC, ROAS, MER, attribution, spend and performance across channels
โช Automated data pipelines & ETL/ELT : APIs, databases, cloud storage and third-party platforms,dbt.
โช Data warehouses & modelling : BigQuery, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Redshift, MySQL
โช Data quality & reconciliation systems : making sure reporting actually ties back to the source
โช Automated reporting and business workflows
โช AI-powered data systems and agentic workflows using Claude, Codex, custom data agents, and MCP servers. Agentic AI data system for ecommerce, Agentic AI Architecture.

๐ผ HOW I WORK
Iโm usually brought in when a business has data spread across multiple systems and needs someone who can own the entire analytics problem. Because my experience spans data engineering, analytics, BI, automation, and now AI-driven data workflows, you don't need separate people to figure out the pipeline, SQL,AI Architecture, Automation, business logic, and dashboards.

AI Engineer, Architect experienced in RL, LLM, RAG, Agentic Systems

I'm Vihanga, an AI engineer and architect with experience building systems and solutions applying LLMs, RAG, and agentic and multi-agent approaches. I began building my expertise in the field working with Machine Learning over a decade ago, followed by my work as a researcher in Deep Reinforcement Learning.
In 2021 I began freelancing, carrying out development and consulting work, expanding my expertise as I delivered for clients across different fields. Most of my recent work has been in RAG and agentic systems: retrieval pipelines with domain-specific knowledge integration, multi-agent orchestration for AI platforms, knowledge graph construction with quality benchmarking, and the evaluation and scoring layers that sit around all of it. I've also built semantic clustering that handles 50K+ records with sub-second inference, RL agents and LLM content generation for a real-time virtual world platform demoed at CES, and on-device ML pipelines optimised for Apple Silicon and CoreML.
I work across research and development, and that blend tracks back to my history. Following an undergrad in engineering, I moved to the field of AI in 2015 with an MSc in Advanced Computer Science specialising in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Manchester, and went from there into PhD research applying deep reinforcement learning to realistic virtual character animation.
The culmination of my research was RLAnimate, a first of its kind RL framework for training agents that animate lifelike virtual humans in real time, along with peer-reviewed publications and a best paper award. My research was always about building working systems, and the freelance and consulting work since has tracked the shift in the field: from classical deep learning and RL through to language model driven systems, retrieval, and agents.
Across these engagements, the work has also covered:
* Structuring AI agents for real-time responsiveness and role-based behaviour
* Designing embedding and retrieval systems for context-aware AI
* Evaluation and scoring systems for quality-gated generation
* Cloud deployment and infrastructure: containerised backends, serverless, GPU and CPU-based hosting
* On-device and local inference: Apple Silicon, CoreML, CPU-optimised pipelines

I'm a Claude Certified Architect (Anthropic CCA) & I build and help people to upskill in AI:
โญโญโญโญโญ "Has achieved more in 4 weeks than several builders I've worked with achieved in a year"
Harrison Scott, Founder, Cognifai
100+ AI automations and AI agents running in production on Claude Code and n8n.
๐ Message me with one process you'd love to automate and I'll send you a personalized Loom showing exactly how I'd build the AI automation and deliver in a few weeks.
If you want an AI automation engineer who lives in Claude Code and ships n8n automation that survives production, that's my lane: AI automation wired into your real systems, multi-agent workflows that coordinate work end to end, and automations I also maintain on retainer because I know what breaks at 3am.
2.5 years in pre-sales engineering means I'm comfortable in the "we know the pain, we don't know the fix yet" stage. We figure out together whether the answer is an AI automation on n8n, an AI agent on Claude Code, or something in between.
9 years in technical sales to the manufacturing industry before that. Countless factory visits taught me to read a process the way an operator does, spot the real bottleneck, and turn it into a clean AI automation spec for a developer to build against, even when that developer is me.
I work in English and German (grew up in Austria) and I'm fluent in GDPR / FADP / on-prem AI automation for clients whose data can't leave the country.
Projects where I bring the most value:
โ AI automation with n8n (100+ production builds): document processing, support ticket triage, AI lead generation, and social media marketing automation
โ Multi-agent AI automation that coordinates 3-10 specialized Claude agents for ops, research, or customer-facing workflows (the more complex the better)
โ AI agent development with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, and MCP: multi-step reasoning, tool calling, self-monitoring loops
โ Document-processing AI automation: OCR plus RAG for invoices, contracts, shipping labels, and conference data (Mistral OCR, Pinecone, Supabase vector)
โ GDPR / FADP / on-prem AI automation where data can't leave the building (legal, medical, Swiss and EU clients where audit trail and data residency are non-negotiable)
โ Self-hosted AI automation stacks on client infrastructure: Ollama, Gemma 4, local machine learning and vision models for image routing and classification
โ Voice AI automation: receptionists and agents (LiveKit, Vapi, ElevenLabs, local Whisper.cpp) including German-language voice agents deployed on-prem
โ AI automation rescue: fixing other builders' broken n8n workflows and automations (usually faster than starting over)
โ Long-term AI automation retainers: monthly maintenance, iterative improvement, on-call support for production systems
๐ง Core Specializations
AI Automation Engineering
โข AI automation with n8n (100+ production builds)
โข Production-grade error handling, retry logic, and self-monitoring AI automation
โข Advanced webhook processing and REST API integrations
โข Local AI automation with Ollama, including vision models for classification and routing
Claude Code & AI Agents
โข End-to-end AI agent builder work: design, build, eval, deploy
โข Claude Code skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP servers for client teams
โข Claude Code prompt engineering and eval-driven optimization
โข Multi-agent orchestration with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, and n8n
AI Automation for Document Processing
โข Document AI automation with OCR + RAG: invoices, contracts, purchase orders, shipping labels (Mistral OCR, Pinecone, Supabase vector)
โข Intelligent document classification and data extraction piped straight into n8n automations
โข Claude Code agents that read, compare, and validate documents, then route exceptions to a human
โข On-prem document AI automation for GDPR / FADP clients whose data can't leave the building
Why clients pick me over a cheaper AI developer: triple Anthropic certification, 100+ production AI automations shipped, and a sales-engineering background that means your AI automation gets built against the business problem, not just the prompt.
