Current Engagements
I work with a small number of companies at a time, typically in high-trust engagements where I operate as a partner rather than a contractor.
Sage.ag
Co-Founder & VP Engineering
My primary venture right now. Building planetary-scale geospatial models for sustainable agriculture — operating at the intersection of biological physics, geospatial data, and agentic AI to solve fundamental challenges in food security and soil health. This is the kind of zero-to-one technical problem I built ViSight to pursue: a domain where off-the-shelf AI is insufficient, where physical-world constraints demand rigour, and where the IP we build has the potential to define how the industry thinks about precision agronomy at scale.
Key Contributions
- Architecting systems capable of ingesting and reconciling vast, disparate silos of unstructured geospatial data
- Building agentic frameworks to unlock deep, non-obvious insights from fragmented datasets
- Leading core architecture and engineering, translating strategic vision into production-grade reality
- Recruiting and leading the founding engineering team
TNE.ai
Co-Founder & Chief AI Researcher
Architecting agentic frameworks for enterprise compliance. An "AI Operating System" for the enterprise, translating novel research into protected intellectual property.
Key Contributions
- R&D & IP: Lead inventor on multiple patent applications, identifying novel AI methodologies
- Enterprise Architecture: Designed distributed multi-cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS/Azure) for high-volume agentic workflows
- Reliability & Governance: Built architectural guardrails for corporate AI adoption with deterministic behavior
Seetru
Strategic AI Advisory
Strategic AI advisory for precision manufacturing. Helping navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape with a focus on pragmatic, cost-effective adoption while ensuring data sovereignty.
Key Contributions
- AI Literacy & Strategy: Demystifying modern AI capabilities for leadership, separating hype from practical industrial utility
- Operational Efficiency: Identifying high-impact, low-cost opportunities to integrate AI tools into daily workflows
- Data Sovereignty: Advising on use of local, private models to ensure manufacturing IP remains secure
Artemis Alert
Co-Founder
Bootstrapped anti-poaching tech in Namibia. Demonstrating that deep-tech solutions can be commercially viable in challenging, off-grid environments.
Key Contributions
- Bootstrapping to Profitability: Set up business entity, managed shareholders, bootstrapped to break-even without VC funding
- Remote Deployment: Managed deployment of military-grade sensor networks in harsh, off-grid environments
- Conservation Impact: Deployed real-time monitoring systems protecting wildlife across Namibian reserves
