Get in touchPart-time technical leadership for early-stage teams: architecture, roadmap, hiring, and AI systems (agents included) built to survive production
From demo to operations: CE marking, EU AI Act readiness, safety cases, and the operational discipline regulated products need
Pre-investment technical assessment for investors, and for founders who would rather find the gaps before someone else does
Strategic technical leadership without a full-time hire. Prototype to production, AI agents included.
Readiness roadmap for AI and robotics products in regulated markets.
Four frontier AI models shipped in seventeen days this July, and my stack needed one config change. What absorbed the churn, why felt productivity lies, and when a model release still deserves attention.
After metrics kept missing degenerate gaits and LLM-iterated rewards hit the survival cliff, we tried a vision-language model as the fitness scorer. The VLM was harsher than metrics and produced actionable failure descriptions — and it scored a collapsing robot 62/100. The case study in honest fitness, plus the four-layer evaluation stack we landed on.
We ran NVIDIA's Eureka methodology — an LLM iteratively proposing reward functions for an RL agent — on cold-start humanoid bipedal walking. 24 candidates across two rounds, all fell by step 70. The LLM was thoughtful; the survival cliff was state-space coverage, not reward design.
