Overview
Founding AI Engineer at FacilisAI. Architected and built the flagship agentic platform that connects plant systems (PLCs, MES, SCADA) to specialized AI agents, turning month-long operational work into hours through chat and scheduled background tasks.
Challenge
Industrial operators run critical workflows across air-gapped, OT-constrained systems that generic cloud AI cannot reach. The work is slow, manual, and locked behind legacy interfaces.
Solution
Owned the agent architecture and integrations end to end, then led 0-to-1 discovery across 15+ customer interviews to shape the ICP, roadmap, and positioning. Shipped on-prem and air-gapped deployments with edge-SLM packaging for OT environments, and ran demos and enterprise sales.
Impact
- Deployed to 20 enterprise demo testers
- Converted demos into provisional contracts with ~100% retention
- Cut month-long operational tasks down to hours
- Shipped on-prem, air-gapped, edge-SLM deployment
