I Build AI Systems
That Run in Production

ZNAS is a Forward Deployed AI Engineering firm.
I embed with your team, build the AI system in your actual operation, and own the outcome until it runs.

How It Works

From Stuck Pilot to Running System

Every engagement follows the same structure.
You bring the problem. I map it, build it, and ship it.

01 /
Scoping

Find the real problem

In a discovery meeting I find the actual bottleneck and define a technical plan.

02 /
Prototyping

I prove it works fast

I create something that actually works in your environment.

03 /
Deployment

I ship to production

I connect every integration point and ship a system your team can actually operate.

04 /
Handoff

Your team can run it

I train your team, document the system, and stay until they can operate it without me.

FAQ

What exactly is a Forward Deployed Engineer?

A Forward Deployed Engineer is an engineer who embeds directly with your team. He works with your real data, your real infrastructure, your real constraints and owns the outcome until the system is running in production. Not a consultant who delivers recommendations. The same person who scopes the problem builds and ships the solution.

Do I need a technical team to work with ZNAS?

No. I work directly with founders and operators. If you have a technical team, I integrate with them. If you don't, I build the system in a way your team can operate without depending on constant outside support.

What kind of AI projects does ZNAS build?

AI agents that automate internal processes, LLM integrations with existing systems (CRMs, ERPs, databases), retrieval pipelines, and AI systems that connect with the real operation of the business.

I already paid for AI licenses and I'm not seeing results. Can you help?

That's exactly the most common profile I work with. ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini licenses give you access to the model. They don't give you the system. The difference between having access to AI and having AI integrated into your operation is exactly what I build.
