AI & Automation Consultant · Certified Management Consultant · 12+ years strategy + build
Most people who call themselves AI consultants can show you a slide deck. I can show you systems I've shipped — AI agents, self-hosted automation infrastructure, and human-in-the-loop workflows running real business processes. I work AI-augmented: I architect, review and ship fast because I pair deep solution judgement and op-sec with modern AI tooling. Outcomes are the proof. Below are short walkthroughs — each covers the problem, what got automated, where the human stays in control, and the stack.
A single YAML config provisions a full self-hosted automation stack end-to-end: cloud servers, DNS + SSL, secrets management, monitoring, and self-hosted n8n — via custom Docker templates.
An n8n + LLM workflow that classifies an incoming request, routes it, and drafts a response — then pauses for human approval before anything goes out. Automation with a safety rail.
A single-page quant dashboard: clean modular architecture, JSON as the data layer, pure-math modules, and an automated test suite. Built for fast, reliable decision support.
OpenClaw and Hermes — purpose-built agents exploring orchestration and tool use — plus a locally hosted LLM (GLM 5.2) for privacy-aware, data-sovereign experimentation.
Before the AI builds, the discipline. The same process mapping, requirements (BRS), UAT/production rigour, regulatory delivery and senior-stakeholder engagement is exactly why my automation ships and survives in production — not just in a demo.
Transformation and process optimisation across 10+ banking business units. Consolidated three derivative trading systems into one platform; migrated a Basel II data mart into SAP HANA with a cross-country (UK | SA) team.
Delivered FATCA / AEOI regulatory-reporting automation across 5 business units — vendor scoping, system readiness, BRS, gap analysis, data mapping, UAT and production cutover. SAFe 4.0, Kanban, JIRA, EXCO stakeholder planning.
Led a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) readiness assessment across multiple government bodies — SETAs and state/national departments — during COVID.
Delivered feasibility studies for large government initiatives, large-scale questionnaire and survey design for industry-report building, and executive-grade research reports with senior stakeholder engagement.
