AI systems engineer with aerospace roots, I'm now focused on shipping production-grade automations for real businesses. I started in space: 5 spacecraft missions, guidance-navigation-control, and selected 1 of 5 in a $2M+ national defense program. That work taught me what actually makes complex systems succeed: clear requirements, ruthless testing, and accountable teams. I brought that mindset to business. I’ve helped 250+ companies systematize operations for predictable growth and founded Fadaa Space Services, Ayn Astra, and Vapaus Tech, all by applying the same principles that put satellites in orbit to build companies that run without their founders. What I’ve learned: winning with AI isn’t about the model. It’s about clarity, governance, and execution. In short, it's 80% operations, 20% models. What I believe: - AI = process change. Start with the workflow, not the tool - Governance first, eval harnesses, data hygiene, audit logs, and rollbacks beat “move fast and pray” - Shipping beats demos. Small, safe launches create compounding wins. - Teams > tools. Train operators and set ownership so results survive turnover. - Measure what matters. SLAs, cycle time, error rate, cost per ticket, and not vanity dashboards. What drives me - Real impact: faster SLAs, lower cost per ticket, fewer errors. - Building people up: giving teams the playbooks to run without me. - Clarity over noise: sharp requirements, precise action. - Excellence in execution: checklists, tests, and high standards. - Trust & partnership: long-term value over short-term hacks. - Creating legacy: systems that outlast tools, and even me. Current focus: engineering AI integration systems at the intersection of aerospace methodology and business operations.
