A senior AI engineer. Already on your side.
The gap between a convincing demo and dependable production AI is rarely one better prompt. It is usually retrieval quality, incomplete evaluation, brittle orchestration, or missing operational discipline. I work with your engineers and stakeholders to identify that gap before expanding the system.
How we work together
A contract begins with your product goals, existing codebase, data access, and delivery constraints. We agree on responsibilities and milestones, then build in increments with evaluation and documentation. I can own a defined workstream or embed within an existing team; the engagement does not require a full-time hire.
What the engagement can include
- Production-oriented AI agent and NLP implementation
- Retrieval, model integration, and evaluation workflows
- Clear architecture decisions and maintainable interfaces
- Deployment support, documentation, and engineering handover
Is this the right fit?
A strong fit for product teams shipping an AI feature, organizations improving an existing LLM system, and consultancies needing senior hands-on engineering. I discuss time-zone overlap and contracting requirements before committing to an engagement.
I’m Paolo Chignoli, a senior data scientist, AI engineer, and AI architect with an MSc in Physics from the University of Milan. I’m based in Milan and open to contractor roles and fractional partnerships with teams around the world. Remote collaboration is the default; we agree on practical arrangements together.
