Vishal B.

Fractional CTO | Agentic Engineer | Computer Vision | LLMs

Expert-Vetted (top 1%) AI consultant. 100% JSS across 13 contracts. Computer Vision and LLM systems shipped to production — not prototypes. What I build: → Edge CV at scale: 30 FPS sustained on Jetson Orin Nano, INT8 TensorRT, IP67 enclosures. Production deployments include fish counting and defect detection (99.4% accuracy on holdout) and aerial imagery analysis with VLM + YOLO11 hybrid pipelines. → Agentic AI for regulated industries: cybersecurity vendor risk scoring (SOC2/NIST/ISO mapping), AI legal study tools (20K+ case briefs), and AI financial intelligence platforms. Stack: LangGraph, Claude Opus 4.7, Bedrock AgentCore, MCP servers, pgvector. → Voice AI that respects users: trauma-informed prompt design for wellness and healthcare. Vapi/Twilio + Claude/GPT-4. Latency under 800ms. GDPR/HIPAA-aligned. → Fractional CTO for AI startups raising seed-to-Series-A: architecture review, hiring plans, AWS infrastructure, technical due diligence. How I work: I run a small Canadian team (4 senior engineers) and use AI-augmented development to ship 2-3x faster than typical agencies at $100-200/hr blended rates. Most engagements start with a 1-2 week paid discovery ($2K-5K fixed) so we can scope accurately before committing to MVP. What I don't do: WordPress, generic web apps, ChatGPT wrappers without retrieval, or projects under $5K (those are better suited to mid-tier freelancers). Available 30+ hrs/week. Burnaby BC, work primarily on PT/ET timezones. 20-minute discovery call: send the job link.
