Co-founded Ai-Way, a B2B SaaS platform bringing cost and carbon intelligence to enterprise freight and logistics. Built for large shippers who need to optimise transport spend and produce auditable emissions reporting from the same data foundation.

Founding & Leadership:

• Co-founded the company and own the full technical strategy, from architecture to hiring
• Built the engineering team and hiring process from zero: role scoping, interview guides, calibrated hiring bar
• Established the engineering operating system from day one — one-week Linear cycles, async standups, WIP limits, published code review standards
• Own the security and due diligence posture required by enterprise procurement: multi-tenant isolation, SSO/SAML, SLA/RTO/RPO commitments, security questionnaires

Architecture & Platform:

• Designed a multi-tenant platform on GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, GCS, Cloud Armor) with schema-per-tenant PostgreSQL isolation
• Built the analytical layer on DuckDB + Parquet over object storage, serving interactive queries on large freight datasets without a data warehouse
• Pushed analytics to the browser via DuckDB-WASM, moving query execution client-side for sub-second exploration
• Designed an Orchestrator-Workers LLM architecture turning heterogeneous client transport data into a normalised, auditable model

Domain Engineering:

• Transport cost optimisation using OR-Tools based solvers
• Carbon accounting compliant with ISO 14083 / GLEC methodology (WTT / TTW / WTW), backed by ADEME Base Carbone emission factors
• Freight data qualification pipeline: warehouse resolution, flow typing, handling-unit normalisation, pricing grid taxation

Technical Stack:

• TypeScript / Bun, PostgreSQL, DuckDB, Parquet, GCP
• CI/CD on GitHub Actions with merge queues and automated PR review tooling

• Implemented fully autonomous CI/CD pipeline (CircleCI + ArgoCD) enabling dozens of daily deployments with 10-minute release cycles
• Built ephemeral testing environments (AWS EC2 → GCP Kubernetes) with comprehensive test coverage (thousands of unit, integration, and e2e tests)
• Established advanced SRE practices: continuous deployment, code quality tooling, performance optimization, and observability

Technical Stack:

• MongoDB-backed microservices with custom WebSocket-based service discovery
• RabbitMQ for asynchronous task processing; Redis for session management and caching
• Progressive TypeScript migration across entire codebase
