What I do

Generative & Agentic AI on AWS

Amazon Bedrock applications, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents, guardrails, and evaluation, taken from proof of concept to production.

Contact Center AI

Intelligent virtual assistants on Amazon Connect and Amazon Lex, enhanced with Bedrock-powered generative AI and post-call analytics.

Cloud Architecture for Regulated Industries

Well-Architected design, migration, and modernization with infrastructure as code (AWS CDK, Terraform) and security and compliance built in from day one.

How engagements work

ASG brings in senior expertise exactly when you need it: an architecture review, a hard production problem, or a build that has to be right the first time. You work directly with the principal, not a bench of junior staff.
