James G.

After many years working in roles ranging from Director, VP, Head of Engineering, and Head of Data for startups and established companies, I now provide those services on a contract consulting basis. Clients hire me for AI and Large Language Model applications, voice application development, DevOps, data engineering, and data analysis and visualization. I also work as a fractional CTO, helping entrepreneurs and growing companies define technical strategy, build engineering teams, and scale their products. Increasingly, I'm helping founders bridge the gap between MVP and production. Whether you've built an initial product yourself, worked with an agency, or used AI-assisted development tools to create a proof of concept, I can help transform it into a secure, scalable, and maintainable production-ready platform. Unlike many fractional CTOs, I don't stop at strategy. I can also step in as the lead architect to design the technical foundation and as the lead developer to implement critical components, mentor your engineering team, establish development processes, and ensure the platform is built for long-term growth. This combination of executive leadership and hands-on engineering helps startups move quickly without accumulating unnecessary technical debt. I have a clear understanding of real-world business requirements and common product challenges, so you don't need to spend time explaining the fundamentals. Tell me what you're trying to achieve, provide as much or as little direction as you'd like, and I'll take it from there. Services I provide - Rapid Prototyping: Create quick, high-fidelity prototypes of your ideas, enabling vast validations and iterations - Automated workflows: Design automated systems to streamline repetitive tasks, improving efficiency and reducing human errors - On-premise AI enabled applications using open source LLMs. - AI enabled apps: Build intelligent applications that leverage AI capabilities to enhance user experience - Prompt design: Define prompt structure using advanced engineering frameworks to maximise AI output relevance and accuracy - Fine tuning Large Language Model: Implementation and fine tuning by training them on your specific data - Plugin development: Develop customisable plugins that extend the functionality of existing platforms - Image Generation: Develop AI powered tools that generate images based on textual descriptions - Text-to-speech: Implement text2speech engines optimised for lifelike output, adopting to your specific voice or tone requirements - Moderation: Implement AI powered content moderation systems to maintain safety and compliance.

My recent business case studies (pls visit my portfolio to find the same) include - Nora Agent, an assistant for Real estate agents. - Creating the first of its kind cutting-edge AI property search engine that allows users to access real estate listings by voice. Most of the MLS are onboarded on this search engine. - Creating an intelligent sales prospecting and engagement tool that utilizes the power of AI to help sales professionals bring a human-centric approach to relationship building. - Having AI impersonate a child in trainings of Forensic Interviewers in child advocacy centers - Creating patient records for EMR calls for Medical Universities (HIPPA Compliant solution) Thanks for reading and I look forward to discussing your project.
