Stuart K.

Azure AI Architect | Generative AI & RAG Specialist (.NET / LLMs)

I build production-ready AI systems for the enterprise. While others rely on external wrappers, I leverage the native .NET 10 AI stack and Microsoft AI Foundry to deliver high-performance, secure, and maintainable Agentic solutions. Recent AI Implementations: HRAssistant (Enterprise Agent): Built a multi-turn RAG agent using Microsoft Foundry IQ. It securely indexes SharePoint data and technical PDFs, providing citation-backed answers via a Blazor Web App. Native .NET 10 RAG Pipelines: Designed high-throughput ingestion engines using C# 14 and Azure AI Search, moving away from LangChain to reduce latency and infrastructure complexity. Secure AI Orchestration: Implementing Post-Quantum Cryptography and Azure RBAC to ensure LLM integrations meet the highest enterprise security standards.
