Real-Time AI Systems for Complex Workflows

Founder & Chief Consultant

Itinitek Ltd, Golden, CO

Everyone knows chatbots. We're well past that.

• Designed an ingestion engine that combines specialized AI agents with deterministic engineering checks so extracted data is verified against physical and geometric constraints before landing in the database.
• Built the workflow to route ambiguous cases for fast human review while preserving provenance and validation history on every extracted value.
• Focused the system on the hard parts of industrial drawing extraction: cross-checking tables against drawings, resolving BOM mismatches, stitching continuations across sheets, and recovering reasoning structure from 2D isometric geometry.
• Architected the platform to improve with each project, producing structured data that is auditable, trustworthy, and usable downstream for engineering workflows.

Gen AI Data Scientist

Harvard Business School, Cambridge, MA

• Solo-architected and built a real-time AI meeting simulator where a single LLM controlled four distinct video avatars simultaneously, coordinating speech, timing, and behavior to emulate a live multi-participant discussion.
• Designed a multi-agent coordination layer where a single reasoning model controlled multiple autonomous actors with timing, state, and interaction constraints.
• Engineered a versatile simulation architecture configurable for hundreds of scenarios, enabling rapid creation of new teaching, coaching, and role-play environments without modifying core logic.
• Designed a custom WebRTC + NextJS + FastAPI interface translating model outputs into deterministic multi-avatar actions under tight latency constraints.
• Integrated institutional systems into GPT-5.1 and Claude via tool-using agents and custom MCP servers with controlled action spaces and secure execution boundaries.
• Built a closed-loop evaluation system using synthetic multi-agent dialogue to stress-test coordination, reasoning, and timing, enabling iterative refinement through failure signals.
• Delivered the platform to 900+ MBA students and demo’d it for deans, donors, and faculty as a flagship component of the school’s AI initiative.
• Owned the full lifecycle from prototype to production, including concurrency, evals, guardrails, and streaming reliability for multi-avatar operation.

Gen AI Consultant

IsoGrab.com, Houston, TX

• Architected and built a vision-LLM pipeline that ingests batches of complex isometric piping PDFs—oil & gas, water treatment, industrial facilities—and extracts high-accuracy structured data across widely varying drawing styles.
• Designed a multi-model system combining OCR, layout parsing, and LLM reasoning to recover bill of materials, elevations, insulation details, line identifiers, and component metadata with minimal manual correction.
• Separated perception stages from reasoning stages so vision, OCR, and LLM components could be tuned independently.
• Implemented automated consistency checks and iterative refinement loops that drove error rates down to levels acceptable for safety-critical engineering workflows.
• Delivered a working 4-week proof of concept that reduced diagram-to-data conversion from weeks to hours, leading the client to approve a full production build.
• Engineered the pipeline for robustness across large document sets, non-standard symbol libraries, and heterogeneous drawing conventions.

Chief GenAI Data Scientist

BigRio LLC, Cambridge, MA

• Architected and built an LLM-driven engine embedded directly into clinical workflows (no UI), where GPT-4 analyzed patient data and generated draft care plans, reducing practitioner documentation time and improving consistency.
• Designed the ingestion and reasoning pipeline to handle heterogeneous clinical data—structured fields, free-text notes, historical records—while enforcing domain constraints and alignment with clinical guidelines.
• Implemented guardrails, validation rules, and safety filters to keep outputs reliable in a regulated healthcare setting.
• Delivered a backend service that became part of daily practitioner workflow, accelerating documentation and reducing administrative burden.
• Built an Azure-based RAG PoC for clinical decision support, delivered from concept to pilotable prototype in 8 weeks.

Founder & Chief Consultant

Itinitek Ltd, Golden, CO

• Fine-tuned LLaMA for the legal domain in 3 weeks and built a RAG pipeline that handled 500+ page contract sets.
• Built an AWS pipeline combining LLMs and SQL for real-time options analysis; the proof of concept helped drive a client funding round.

Chief Scientist

Lilac Cloud Inc, Cupertino, CA

• Architected and designed vision-AI pipelines for edge computing, combining Dockerized GPU services with CUDA-accelerated model execution to support real-time video analytics in bandwidth- and latency-constrained environments.
• Built custom FFmpeg filters and Libav extensions to run inference inside the video pipeline, enabling object recognition, event detection, and metadata insertion without interrupting frame flow.
• Implemented GAN-based imperceptible video watermarking and other security features to protect high-value media across distributed streaming environments.
• Delivered low-latency frame processing systems for live sporting events and other real-time workloads, maintaining consistent throughput on varied edge hardware.
• Optimized GPU utilization, memory transfers, and batching strategies to achieve stable real-time performance.
