AI Solutions Architect with 21 years of hands-on experience building digital systems — from early web and creative production through to modern AI-enabled software and automation.
Over 3 years in an intensive AI/ML build phase developing production systems for real-world deployment. Reduced API inference costs by 70% through dynamic context management, schema compression, edge ML, and cost-aware routing. Trained custom ML models and designed multi-agent workflows, custom tooling, RAG pipelines, model-routing logic, and deployment architecture. Developed and integrated first-party rust and typescript libraries for ai guardrails, encryption, PII redaction, and SOC 2-aligned data handling.
Best fit for companies moving fast in uncharted territory. Three-time technical founder with a digital marketing background. A rare mix of technical ability and G2M execution experience. One part creative director, two parts systems architect, zero templates required.
Every system starts with the right question: does this actually need AI? The answer shapes the architecture. If the problem can be solved with deterministic logic, it should be. If it needs language understanding, edge ML runs before cloud inference. If a model is genuinely required, the smallest capable one ships first. The result is modular, system-agnostic code built to deploy across native mobile, desktop, and cloud without re-architecture.
Scalable software design, OOD, design patterns, UML, MVC, microservices, SOA, RESTful APIs, and a Java Android capstone evolved into a distributed multi-user system.
Agile product planning, stakeholder needs, technical specifications, prioritization, and software product execution.
Market research, positioning, marketing mix, marketing plans, KPIs, budgets, and consumer-centric strategy.
Corporate advantage, diversification, divestiture, business strategy, and value-creation decisions.
Digital strategy execution, CX design, digital team enablement, and risk-aware marketing leadership.
Interaction design, information architecture, responsive layouts, JavaScript templates, and web usability fundamentals.
A formal four-term structural law for any objective-directed system. Identifies four failure modes — including terminal logic, where agent self-continuation displaces the original objective — as a diagnostic extension of Anthropic's published research on agentic misalignment. anthonycote.com/the-law
