Expert graph ai

CTO/Co-founder

Mar 2026 – Present · 2 mos · Montreal, QC · Remote

Building Expert Graph AI — the infrastructure layer for expertise intelligence.
Expert Graph continuously collects and analyzes real work signals from enterprise software projects to build a dynamic graph of verified professional expertise. Think of it as a reputation system like GitHub rankings, but for enterprise technology professionals working inside complex business systems (ERP, CRM, data platforms).
Instead of relying on resumes, certifications, or interviews, our API ingests signals from project management tools, time-tracking systems, enterprise platform event logs, and code repositories to build a longitudinal record of demonstrated capability. Organizations and platforms query our API to identify professionals who have actually delivered similar work — not just claimed they can.
Core technical architecture:
→ Data ingestion layer with pre-built connectors (Asana, ClickUp, Harvest, NetSuite, Salesforce)
→ Graph database mapping professionals to skills, platforms, task types, and delivery outcomes
→ Semantic search and NLP-powered query engine for natural language staffing queries
→ Ranked results with confidence scores and evidence citations grounded in real work data
As CTO, I own the full technical stack — from graph schema design and scoring logic to the AI/ML pipeline (embeddings, retrieval, LLM-powered entity extraction and result explanation) and deployed API infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)API Development

Odecloud

CTO/Co-Founder

Oct 2018 – Present · 7 yrs 7 mos · San Francisco, CA · Remote

Started with an idea, grew it into a platform that helps enterprises deploy tech faster, smarter, and without the usual roadblocks. As CTO, I make sure our engineering stays sharp, our AI delivers real-world results, and our product not only looks great — it drives real impact.
I lead across AI strategy, backend architecture, and product execution, building systems that last and scale with the business. I focus on bringing in talented people who care about the craft, collaborate deeply, and build with purpose.
Highlights:
Embedded AI across our ecosystem (RAG, automation, model hosting)
Built a Prefect-driven ops backbone for zero-downtime workflows
Scaled MongoDB analytics to give leadership real-time business insights
I believe tech works best when it’s built with vision, shipped with care, and scaled with heart.
