Applied AI · Public-safe portfolio

Six AI cases.
One production mindset.

These case studies show how I frame AI problems, design the surrounding system, control risk, and carry useful capabilities into production—not simply how I call a model API.

01

Enterprise RAG

How can teams find reliable answers across fragmented company knowledge without trusting an ungrounded chatbot?

Knowledge copilot for grounded internal answers

THE PROBLEM

Policies, product documentation, support history, and operational knowledge live across different systems. Keyword search misses context, while a generic LLM can answer confidently without evidence.

SYSTEM APPROACH

A retrieval-augmented generation pipeline that ingests and chunks approved sources, creates embeddings, applies metadata-aware retrieval, reranks evidence, and generates answers with citations and permission boundaries.

MY ROLE

Designed the RAG architecture, retrieval flow, prompt and context strategy, API layer, evaluation plan, observability, and cloud delivery pattern.

OUTCOME

A production-oriented knowledge assistant pattern that improves answer discovery while keeping evidence, permissions, and failure behavior visible.

Agentic automation

How can an AI system complete multi-step work across business tools without becoming an uncontrolled automation risk?

Tool-using AI agent for operational workflows

THE PROBLEM

Operations teams repeatedly collect context, check rules, update systems, and prepare responses. A single prompt cannot reliably manage these dependent actions or their failure states.

SYSTEM APPROACH

An orchestrated agent workflow with narrow tools, explicit state, structured outputs, approval gates, retries, and deterministic business rules around every model decision.

MY ROLE

Defined agent boundaries, tool contracts, workflow state, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, error handling, audit events, and API integrations.

OUTCOME

A repeatable automation architecture that lets AI assist with reasoning while conventional software remains responsible for permissions, transactions, and control.

PRODUCTION SAFEGUARDS
  • Least-privilege tools
  • Human approval
  • Idempotent actions
  • Retry limits
  • Full audit trail

03

Search & retrieval

How do you return relevant results when users search by meaning, exact terms, entities, and business filters at the same time?

Hybrid semantic search across structured and unstructured data

THE PROBLEM

Pure keyword search misses semantic intent; pure vector search can overlook exact identifiers and structured constraints. Enterprise queries often require both.

SYSTEM APPROACH

A hybrid retrieval layer combining lexical matching, dense vectors, metadata filters, query rewriting, fusion, and reranking, with relevance measured against a curated evaluation set.

MY ROLE

Designed query understanding, retrieval composition, ranking strategy, structured filters, evaluation metrics, latency budgets, and fallback behavior.

OUTCOME

A search architecture that balances semantic recall with exact-match precision and gives teams a measurable path for improving ranking quality.

PRODUCTION SAFEGUARDS
  • Relevance test set
  • Latency budgets
  • Filter enforcement
  • Query tracing
  • Fallback search

Commerce intelligence

How can commercial teams move from static reports to faster, explainable insight without letting AI invent business facts?

AI-assisted analytics for commercial decision support

THE PROBLEM

Commerce data is spread across orders, customers, products, payments, and campaigns. Leaders need concise insights, but every claim must remain traceable to governed data.

SYSTEM APPROACH

A governed analytics layer that combines validated metrics and structured queries with an LLM explanation layer for summarisation, anomaly narratives, and guided exploration.

MY ROLE

Supported AI-driven analytics delivery and shaped the surrounding data, integration, cloud, product, and engineering practices needed for dependable use.

OUTCOME

A decision-support pattern that makes complex commercial data easier to explore while keeping calculations in deterministic systems of record.

PRODUCTION SAFEGUARDS
  • Governed metrics
  • Read-only queries
  • Evidence links
  • PII controls
  • Human review

05

Intelligent documents

How can document-heavy verification become faster without weakening compliance, auditability, or human accountability?

KYC and document verification workflow acceleration

THE PROBLEM

Manual verification creates queues and inconsistent handling. Fully automated approval is risky when documents are unclear or rules require expert judgment.

SYSTEM APPROACH

A rules-first workflow that extracts document data, validates required fields, flags inconsistencies, routes exceptions, and presents evidence to a reviewer before final action.

MY ROLE

Led KYC compliance automation and the engineering integration work around secure data handling, workflow control, banking requirements, and operational rollout.

OUTCOME

Verification processing time was reduced by 50% while retaining a reviewable workflow and clear responsibility for final compliance decisions.

  • Human final decision
  • Encrypted data
  • Confidence thresholds
  • Exception routing
  • Audit history

AI security & operations

An AI-assisted security workflow that helps engineering and security teams investigate alerts, correlate logs, identify suspicious behavior, and recommend next actions with human approval.

AI security copilot for threat investigation and response

THE PROBLEM

Security teams lose time manually correlating logs, identity events, API activity, and cloud alerts.

THE SYSTEM

Agentic investigation layer across application logs, authentication, APIs, cloud telemetry, and internal runbooks.

WHAT IT DOES

Alert triage, incident summarization, suspicious activity analysis, evidence collection, and recommended containment actions.

AI TECHNIQUES

LLM agents, RAG, tool use, anomaly/context analysis, and structured outputs.

ABOUT THE EVIDENCE

Public enough to understand.
Careful enough to trust.

These summaries use public-safe descriptions of hands-on architecture, engineering, leadership, and automation experience. Confidential client data is intentionally excluded. Deeper technical walkthroughs are available in a private interview or discovery call.
