Why should I hire him?
18+ years turning AI ambition into measurable ROI — from a 700K-user hyperscale platform (91% NPS) to GenAI governance that cut top-agent spend by up to 70%.

The value I create

From using AI more to using AI better

Usage alone doesn't create advantage. I turn tokens, users and prompts into outcomes: lower cost, faster delivery, stronger retention and safer decisions.

Adoption → value

91% NPS on a 700K-user platform. Platforms succeed when adoption, experience and outcomes align.

Operating leverage

Automated 60% of manual research and cut service-desk response from 24h to 8 minutes.

Governance at scale

Built AURA for GenAI observability & governance — cutting top-agent spend by up to 70%.

Safe innovation

Frameworks that let engineers experiment, automate and deploy AI without losing control of risk or cost.

From vision to value

MISSION 01·GenAI Governance

AURA — GenAI Observability & Governance

Concept creator · Solution architect · Principal PM · Team lead
