I build AI that business teams actually use, on one platform and one standard for the whole group.
I lead technology and AI for an industrial group and report to the Managing Director. Before this role I spent seven years in hands-on ERP engineering and client delivery, so I still design, build and review the systems myself.
About
My job is to give the whole group one platform and one standard to run on: ERP, integrations, security and AI. A tool counts when a business team is using it every day, not when it demos well.
AI runs behind access control, audit logging and cost limits from its first user, and every agent has a named owner. The numbers I report come with a baseline. When one of my published figures turns out to be wrong, I correct it where it first appeared. Two posts on this site carry those corrections: what enterprise AI actually costs and what works when you build agents for operations.

A 20-agent intelligence pipeline with 1,900+ tests. Every agent is declared in a typed registry with a named owner, an autonomy tier and a cost ceiling, and passes its evaluations before it reaches production.
