HOW IT STARTED

My work has always been focused on solving business problems with technology.

With over 9 years of engineering and automating complex data systems across enterprise, public, and private sectors, I saw the same challenge repeat itself: companies were excited by AI's potential but struggled to bridge the gap between hype and a practical, real-world application.

I observed a critical need for reliable, maintainable, and scalable AI solutions that deliver a clear ROI.

MY WORK TODAY

This is the foundational principle of my practice, Hermit Edge. As Founder and Principal AI Engineer, I bridge that gap by building and shipping complete, production-ready AI systems that provide a clear return on investment.

I partner directly with founders and technical leaders to ship practical AI solutions, fast.

My approach is grounded in full-stack development and automation. I take ownership of the entire process, from architecting robust data pipelines to deploying scalable applications, and focus on delivering tangible business value, without the hype or the fluff.

MY GOAL

My goal is simple: to be the most valuable technical and strategic partner for my clients. I focus on building long-term relationships through a reliable track record and a body of work that delivers lasting value.

MY COMMITMENT

Production-Grade Quality

I don't ship prototypes. You get production-grade systems: tested, maintainable, and ready to be a dependable part of your business from day one.

End-to-End Excellence

Beyond just code, you get a dedicated technical partner. I take full ownership of the project lifecycle with proactive communication, so you can focus on your business, not on managing me.

ROI-Driven Implementation

Technology must serve the business. My focus is strictly on ROI, ensuring every line of code is tied to a clear business outcome. We build what moves your business forward, nothing else.
