Architecting AI
for the real world
Using AI is trivial.
Orchestrating, measuring, evaluating, optimizing, integrating and operating it is not. That's where I come in: I build the infrastructure and operational excellence that turns prototypes into production systems.
Services
Agentic AI Systems
Autonomous agents that coordinate across enterprise workflows - task decomposition, tool use, observability and human-in-the-loop evaluation where it counts.
AI Infrastructure & LLM Ops
The paved road from notebook to production - training pipelines, model serving, monitoring, and the CI/CD that lets you ship in hours instead of weeks.
Measurement & Evals
AI that is aligned with your notions of quality, automatically adjusts to changes and can be operated reliably and with confidence.
AI Strategy & Architecture
Honest assessment of where AI fits your business. What to build, what to buy, what to skip - with a system design that solves your problems in a pragmatic way.

Christian is the kind of engineer you give a hard problem and trust to figure it out. He challenged our thinking, shipped fast and left us with a platform, not a prototype. Rare engineer.
