I help businesses in Singapore and across APAC turn AI from hype into systems that actually earn their keep.

15+ years in enterprise technology, most recently leading AI delivery at a major Singapore tech-services firm - I ship production AI, not decks: agentic automation, GenAI products, document-processing pipelines, private/on-prem LLMs, RAG, and AI governance.

What I bring as a fractional AI lead / advisor:

• AI strategy & roadmap - an honest read on what's worth building, what to buy, and what to leave alone

• Agentic & GenAI products - from thin-slice PoC to production, with safety and oversight built in

• Private & sovereign LLM deployment - keeping sensitive data inside your perimeter (finance, healthcare, government)

• AI governance & trust - eval harnesses, audit trails, human-in-the-loop, ISO/IEC 42001-aligned

• Singapore grant-funded delivery (PSG / EDG / EIS)

I work best as a fractional AI lead or hands-on advisor for teams that need senior AI judgment without a full-time hire - typically 1-3 days a week. Stalled pilot, a vibe-coded prototype nobody understands, or a greenfield AI ambition? I'll design it, build the thin slice, and stay until it ships.

Less chaos. More progress.
