Forward-deployed production AI for regulated healthcare and fintech clients: map live operator workflows, make model and infrastructure tradeoffs, ship compound AI architectures with engineers, and drive adoption from launch through operator trust.
- ▸Operate as a broader partner to the CEO beyond the product mandate: pipeline, CRM, client conversations, weekly operating cadence, financial planning, investor reporting, unit economics, and company-level priorities.
- ▸Raised internal movement completion 34% → 72% at multi-site hospital systems: embedded with clinical and ops teams to map intake-to-discharge handoff failures, co-designed agent-assisted workflows with engineers, then owned adoption post-launch by running weekly override reviews, iterating prompts and routing, and tightening escalation paths until usage held.
- ▸Improved precision 22% → 50% and cut false positives 60% → 15% for a top 10 U.S. bank compliance team (~$600K annual savings): embedded 2+ days/week with fraud and risk analysts, translated live SOPs and policy boundaries into model requirements and eval cases, shipped compound agents with confidence gating and mandatory human review.
- ▸Set the AI quality bar governing what went to production, built evaluation infrastructure with 300+ labeled examples across fraud, compliance, and financial exploitation risk categories; established confusion-matrix benchmarks, precision/recall thresholds, and online eval from analyst overrides as hard promotion gates.
- ▸Architected nine-node agentic workflow (ingestion, extraction, enrichment, classification, anomaly detection, state management, confidence scoring, policy gating, human review) with Claude/OpenAI APIs and n8n; partnered with forward-deployed engineers on Python/FastAPI and Next.js delivery.
- ▸Designed HITL control layer exposing confidence scores, source evidence, escalation paths, and override capture to investigators, made AI outputs explainable, auditable, and subordinate to compliance judgment, not black-box automation.
- ▸Built an internal GTM Intelligence Platform (HAL) monitoring 57 market feeds: ranks relevant market signals, extracts named prospects, surfaces outreach opportunities, and gives leadership a live view of GTM activity and blockers.
- ▸Designed four-tier GTM intelligence system (Signal Capture → Enrichment → Intelligence → Execution); centralized ICP scoring in Claude-powered governance layer connected to Clay, HeyReach, and HubSpot; reduced GTM stack cost ~$215K annually.
- ▸Built enrichment architecture for a ~1,200-contact advisor segment: market scoring, geographic segmentation, company enrichment, social activity signals, and controlled CRM writeback.
