AI Systems Architect

Production AI systems that can't afford to fail.

For enterprise, government, and growth-stage organisations betting on AI systems that cannot be allowed to fail, I design and ship production AI implementations end-to-end, from architecture through deployment, with the discipline of a solo operator who treats every decision as if someone else has to maintain it after him.

4

Production platforms shipped with real, working AI features

AI-native

Every system ships with AI built in, not bolted on after launch

3–4

New advisory engagements taken on per quarter, by design

Built for organisations that can't treat AI as an experiment. This is for enterprise CTOs, government procurement teams, and investors who need a system that works in production, not a demo that impresses once and breaks under real load.

AI Systems Architecture

Designing and shipping production AI implementations end-to-end, from architecture through deployment, not a proof-of-concept that stops at a demo.

Enterprise Software Engineering

Production-grade systems engineered to scale, built with the discipline of someone who has to maintain what they ship.

Technical Advisory & Due Diligence

Architecture-decision review for investors and leadership teams who need a technical read before they commit.

How engagements run

01

Discovery

Understanding the real problem, constraints, and what success actually looks like.

02

Assessment & Architecture

Evaluating the options and committing to a defensible architecture: decisions made explicit, not implicit.

03

Delivery

Building and shipping, with a communication cadence the client controls.

04

Documentation & Handoff

Leaving behind a system someone else can actually maintain, not a black box.

What clients say

Real client quotes are being collected and will appear here as they come in, never filled with invented ones in the meantime.

Common questions

See all FAQs →

What does an engagement cost?

Every engagement is scoped individually based on complexity and desired outcome. Book a consultation for a quote tailored to your situation.

How do you handle confidentiality?

Every engagement starts with clear confidentiality terms. Sensitive systems, like production business data, are never shown publicly without explicit permission.

Do you work with organisations outside Kenya?

Yes. I work with organisations across Africa, Europe, and internationally, including German-speaking markets, where I have working German-language proficiency (B1, Goethe-Institut Nairobi).

How many engagements do you take on at once?

I intentionally limit myself to 3–4 new advisory engagements per quarter, so every client gets direct, hands-on attention.
