Solara28

  • Founded, ideated, architected and single-handedly developed Solara28, an AI-native multi-tenant SaaS platform for European commerce verticals — food services, restaurants, pharmacies, grocery retailers, wine and spirits, catering, coffee shops and event ticketing — positioned under the vision “Illuminate your commerce” as a local-first, zero-commission alternative to global marketplace aggregators and platforms such as Amazon, Shopify, Just Eat, Deliveroo, PrestaShop and WooCommerce. Evidence ↗
  • Architected and implemented a governed Agentic Factory coordinating eight specialised virtual teams and 32 autonomous AI agents across the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle, generating 6,000,000+ lines of production-ready code, documentation and change artefacts in under one year across a polyglot stack (TypeScript, Supabase/PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Stripe, Vercel).
  • Established Solara28 as a large-scale reference implementation of Agentic AI product engineering, demonstrating the viability of autonomous multi-agent systems in enterprise-grade software delivery.
  • Designed, built and published the open-source Buonaiuto-Doc4LLM MCP server, which auto-detects a project’s library stack, fetches current official documentation and serves it version-aware to AI coding assistants — the RAG infrastructure that kept the agents’ 6M+ lines of code aligned with current, secure architectural standards and eliminated API hallucinations.
  • Designed as next-generation commerce infrastructure for local economies, combining AI-native operations, multi-tenant SaaS architecture and decentralised business ownership to support European business sovereignty and restore data sovereignty, margin control and customer ownership to independent merchants.
  • Established an end-to-end autonomous AI delivery model covering architecture design, code generation, testing, security validation, cloud implementation and documentation, with every artefact traceable to requirements, architecture decisions, source-control changes, code review, automated testing, security scanning and release approval; the Agentic Factory executed work across engineering, QA, DevOps, compliance, localisation, marketing, branding, e-commerce and online payments.
  • Governed the automated delivery lifecycle — architecture, software engineering, testing, security, DevOps and documentation — as an agentic AI operating model aligned with the EU AI Act.

EPAM Systems

  • Spearheaded the global expansion of EPAM’s Data & AI practice across EMEA, North America, APAC, LATAM and CIS, defining strategic direction for AI, Generative AI and Agentic AI, and led client engagements and pre-sales across banking, government services, logistics, consumer goods, biopharma, chemicals, telecommunications, energy and industrials.
  • Global pharmaceutical company: principal expert (GenAI, architecture, software engineering) supporting the AI Factory framework and global AI strategy; defined a reusable AI component framework and LLM/multi-agent orchestration for biomedical R&D and regulatory processes, and a global Community of Practice for AI knowledge sharing.
  • Global energy leader, Saudi Arabia: designed scalable AWS AI cloud platforms and end-to-end architectures across upstream, downstream, R&D, engineering, finance, HR, safety and supply chain, with LLM orchestration, multi-agent systems, RAG and LSTM models for R&D.
  • Global chemical manufacturer: lead architect for GenAI in R&D, engineering and production — semantic ingestion pipelines, RAG over structured and unstructured data, and a phased path from PoCs to multi-agent assistants on a modular, scalable architecture.
  • Defined an LLMOps evaluation framework for RAG and agentic systems measuring retrieval relevance, groundedness, factuality, hallucination rate, task completion, latency, cost per interaction, safety and user satisfaction.
  • Implemented end-to-end observability across data pipelines, retrieval layers, LLM calls, agent workflows, model outputs, user feedback, infrastructure performance and operational cost.

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

  • Established and operates the Innovation Lab’s experimental AI tooling estate on Microsoft Frontiers models in Azure — including Cowork, Copilot Claude, MS Scout and OpenClaw for agentic-AI experimentation and architecture evaluation, alongside Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry — under defined tool-selection rules, cost guardrails and an approved/excluded tooling list.
  • Skills and technologies: Azure solution and security architecture (App Service, Static Web Apps, Functions, SQL, Blob, Key Vault, API Management, Data Factory, Machine Learning, AI Foundry, AI Search, Monitor) · Snowflake · Azure OpenAI, RAG, multi-agent and agentic AI · MLOps/LLMOps and AI evaluation · AI governance, Responsible AI and EU-aligned AI risk management · Entra ID, RLS, TDE/CMK, PIM, managed identities, TLS · C4 and TOGAF · Power BI, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, Purview, Sentinel · confidential-data governance · innovation portfolio governance, vendor selection and procurement · Design Thinking and rapid prototyping facilitation.
  • Operationalised AI governance controls covering data leakage, agent proliferation, cost overruns, prompt injection, hallucination and shadow AI, with per-agent monthly credit limits and threshold alerting, DLP connector policies blocking third-party connectors, and monitoring across Power Platform Admin Center, Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Sentinel, reported monthly to the AI Steering Committee.
  • Established the reusable reference architecture for grounding Copilot agents in enterprise knowledge — SharePoint → Azure Blob → Snowflake → Azure AI Search vector index → Power Automate → Azure OpenAI → Copilot in Teams/SharePoint — secured with Entra ID RBAC, Key Vault and Purview DLP, with mandatory citation traceability and token-consumption cost controls.

Across the career

  • Uses Solara28 as a concrete reference case for AI-native product strategy, operational efficiency, platform architecture and business-model innovation.
  • Builds and directs hybrid teams of people and AI agents, including swarms of AI agents, drawing on 30,000+ prompts of hands-on generative AI work.
  • Specialises in Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, Agentic AI, predictive analytics, machine learning, MLOps, LLMOps, AI governance, AI factories and model evaluation; designs enterprise AI and data strategies and defines AI technology stacks and long-term machine-learning roadmaps through hands-on technical leadership.
  • Demonstrates modern delivery leadership by orchestrating specialised AI-agent teams across architecture, implementation, documentation, testing and governance.
  • Designs agentic development methodologies in which autonomous AI agents support architecture, code generation, testing, security review, documentation and delivery governance, along with hands-on agentic AI architectures and platforms.
  • Applies continuous code generation, architecture review, security scanning, test-driven development and human oversight to AI-native engineering.
  • Demonstrates how AI-agent orchestration can extend the delivery capacity of a traditional cross-functional product organisation.
  • Advises C-suite and senior leadership on data governance, AI, agentic AI operating models and workforce transformation, and mentors executive teams moving towards data- and AI-led organisations.
