How I work

Forward-deployed means working inside the client’s context, end to end.

  1. 01

    Embed

    Sit with the team. Run discovery workshops and interviews to find which AI use cases are worth building.

  2. 02

    Map

    Map the systems, data and constraints. Write the PRD and the architecture, security and privacy included, before any code.

  3. 03

    Build

    Ship end to end in small agile steps: APIs, retrieval, MCP tools and agent workflows, with access, storage and secrets designed in from day one.
