About me

Founder and CEO of Nicia AI, consultant, and fractional CTO. I build AI systems that actually solve problems, engineer organizations for the age of automation, and ensure your software is a delight, not a disaster. I’ve built large-scale platforms for scientific publishing, dozens of startup MVPs, and everything in between.

I'm available for quick calls or long-term engagements. You can book a call with me directly on my calendar below, the first call is free. Who knows, maybe I can solve your problem on the first call and we can get on to bigger and better things together.

RAG, Search, and Retrieval

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) lets large language models tap into your own data for more accurate, relevant answers. The key is a strong retrieval foundation. With two decades of experience building large-scale search systems, I’ll help you build RAG and LLM-powered solutions that deliver.
