  • Embed safety, privacy, and compliance (content filtering, red-teaming, audit trails, secrets mgmt) aligned to GxP / 21 CFR Part 11 and HIPAA / PII needs.
  • Optimize inference and cost (routing, caching, batching, distillation / quantization) and drive GPU / accelerator / FinOps strategy.
  • Evaluate and document trade-offs for models (open vs. proprietary), hosting options, and agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel, Assistants APIs).
  • Translate domain needs (R&D, Manufacturing, Commercial) into prioritized roadmaps; mentor teams and communicate technical trade-offs to stakeholders.
