Solving Problems with AI

About

I lead AI Engineering at The Adecco Group — building and scaling AI agents across 8+ countries with a 30-person engineering team. My current focus is designing and deploying production-grade agentic systems on Salesforce Agentforce, integrated with multiple LLMs (Anthropic and OpenAI as primary). In the last year, we've shipped 5 AI agents, driving ~30% daily productivity gains per recruiter across global markets. We scaled a single agent to 8+ countries in 3 months, the fastest rollout in the company's history. My edge is sitting at the intersection of deep technical architecture and global execution. I own architecture design, technical specs, code reviews, and the framework decisions that determine whether a system can scale across countries or collapses under localisation pressure, like building a 30+ language localization pipeline or designing custom data layers to avoid forking agent logic per market. Before this, I spent 3 years driving business transformation at Adecco as Senior PM and later Global AI Programme lead, rolling out GenAI adoption across 60+ countries. Outside work, I teach AI engineering on YouTube (2,700+ subscribers) breaking down agentic systems, LLM integrations, and real-world AI builds for practitioners. If you're building something serious in AI infrastructure, agents, or LLM systems at scale let's talk.
