AI Strategy
I audit where AI creates real leverage and hand you a sequenced, ROI-ranked roadmap your team can execute — not a deck of buzzwords.

The premise
Most AI never leaves the slide deck. I exist to change that — turning ambition into systems that ship, scale, and earn their keep.

One expert, the whole arc —idea to impact.
Agents & LLM Systems
Production copilots and autonomous agents — tool use, orchestration, evals, guardrails — built to stay reliable long after the demo ends.
Agents · Tooling · EvalsRAG & Knowledge
Scattered documents become a trustworthy answer engine: retrieval tuned for accuracy and freshness, with citations you can verify.
Retrieval · Search · GroundingAI Automation
Quietly remove the repetitive work draining your team — intake, triage, drafting — wired into the tools you already run.
Workflows · IntegrationsTeam Enablement
Hands-on workshops and playbooks that turn your engineers and operators into confident, safe, fast AI builders.

Outcomes, not demos.
Fintech
−60% ticketsA support copilot that deflected 60% of tickets
A grounded agent over the help centre and account data — resolving routine requests instantly, escalating the rest with full context.
Legal
9× fasterContract review, accelerated nine-fold
A retrieval pipeline over a decade of contracts, surfacing risky clauses with citations reviewers can trust and audit.
E-commerce
200k SKUsMerchandising automation at catalogue scale
LLM-driven enrichment and categorisation across 200k SKUs — weeks of manual tagging replaced by a self-running pipeline.
Healthcare
4 hrs/dayClinical intake triage, humans in the loop
A careful, guard-railed assistant drafting structured intake summaries for clinicians to approve — hours saved every day.
Engagements are confidential; figures are representative and referenceable on request.
03 / Approach
A method that turns ambitioninto shipped systems.
01
Discover
A focused dive into your goals, data, and constraints. We surface the highest-leverage opportunities and kill what won't pay off.
02
Design
A concrete architecture — scoped, costed, de-risked — with success metrics agreed before a line of code is written.
03
Build
Tight, transparent delivery cycles. You see working software early and often, with evals proving it performs.
04
Scale
We harden, monitor, and hand over. Your team owns it with confidence — and knows what to build next.
“Salman cut through eighteen months of internal debate in two weeks. We finally had a plan we believed in — and the system to back it up.
“Most consultants hand you a slide deck. Salman handed us a working product, an evaluation harness, and a team that knew how to run it.
03 / About
A builder first — a strategistbecause building taught me what matters.
I've spent the last eight years shipping machine learning and AI systems — long before it was fashionable. I've seen what survives contact with real users, real data, and real budgets, and what quietly breaks the moment the demo ends.
I work as a single, accountable point of contact: deep enough to write the code, senior enough to sit in the boardroom, and honest enough to tell you when AI isn't the answer. No hand-offs, no fluff, no vanity metrics.
Strategy → codeProduction-gradeOutcome-obsessedRadically candid
Questions, answered.
How do engagements start?
Every engagement opens with a paid discovery sprint — a fixed-scope deep dive that produces a concrete plan. You walk away with value whether or not we continue.
Do you build, or just advise?
Both. I'm hands-on in the code when that's what moves the needle, and I advise at the strategy and architecture level. Most clients want a mix.
What size companies do you work with?
From funded startups to enterprise teams. The common thread is leadership serious about turning AI into outcomes, not theatre.
How is pricing structured?
Fixed-scope sprints for discovery and delivery, or a monthly retainer for fractional advisory. Clear, predictable, tied to outcomes.
